Weather Outlook
Critical fire weather conditions will return to the Four Corners as a cold front passing through the Great Basin creates a gusty southwesterly flow across the southern Great Basin and the Southwest. The winds will interact with critically dry fuels and very low afternoon humidities to create a favorable burning environment.
Scattered wet storms will be possible across the Northern Great Basin.
Drier and slightly warmer conditions will be possible along the West Coast as a high pressure ridge begins to approach from the west.
Conditions will remain dry across northern Minnesota and New England. In Alaska, scattered showers will be present across the western Interior while high pressure over the Yukon Territory will keep the eastern Interior warm and dry.
