Weather Outlook
A cutoff low will remain over southern California and northern Baja California. Westerly flow aloft will strengthen over the Pacific Northwest and Northern Rockies, with weak ridging over the West away from the cutoff low. An upper low will slowly move eastward across the Great Lakes, with troughing extending over much of the eastern US and a cold front sliding east through the Appalachians. Above normal temperatures are expected for much of the West. Dry and breezy west-southwest winds are likely along the Sierra Front, in portions of the Cascade Gaps, interior Northwest, northern Great Basin, along and east of the Rockies in Montana, and Wyoming amid downslope flow and stronger westerly flow aloft. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are forecast across portions of far southern California, Arizona, and western New Mexico, with wetting rain most likely in east-central Arizona into west-central New Mexico over the higher terrain. Showers may move into western Washington overnight, with showers and sporadic lightning in portions of the Great Lakes and New England.
