Weather Outlook
An upper-level trough will move into the Intermountain West with an upper low over Colorado rejoins the upper-level flow. Upper ridging will extend from the Deep South through the western Great Lakes with troughing aloft remaining over the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. A Pacific cold front will slide south and east during the day into the northern Plains, central Rockies, and southern Great Basin. Elevated to critical conditions are expected over southeast Montana, northeast Wyoming, and the western Dakotas today. Breezy to windy conditions are forecast over much of the Intermountain West and central Plains but relative humidity will be significantly higher. A band of showers will move through southern Idaho into western Montana with light rainfall before diminishing. Scattered mainly wet thunderstorms are forecast across eastern Arizona, eastern Utah, and the Rockies while more numerous showers and thunderstorms are likely over much of Texas into southern Oklahoma. Showers will continue over much of the Northwest into tonight with wetting rain.
