Weather Outlook
Widespread elevated to critical conditions will persist across portions of the Southwest, Great Basin, and Rocky Mountain areas, as well as California today. Across these areas, variable winds between 10-15 mph with gusts 15-35 mph and relative humidity values between 5-15% are expected, with the highest winds across the West Slope and central Great Plains. Across central California valleys, Las Vegas, and southern portions of the Southwest, temperatures exceeding 100 degrees are expected. A storm threat begins to return to the Southwest Area today with the chance for isolated storms across portions of Arizona, with more widespread thunderstorms across the eastern half of New Mexico and southeastern Colorado. In the northern Rockies, scattered thunderstorms will continue to move east across northern Idaho and Montana accompanied by higher relative humidity values and gusty winds. In the eastern U.S., scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue to move east across the Southern and Eastern areas. Coastal relative humidity values will be between 35-45%, with the lowest values in the Carolinas where triple digit temperatures are expected. In Alaska, moderate conditions are expected, with scattered thunderstorms across the eastern half of the state and relative humidity values across portions of central Alaska between 25-35%.
