Predictive Services Discussion: A cold front will move into the Pacific Northwest, drawing monsoonal
moisture northward through the Great Basin and into the Northern Rockies. Scattered storms are
expected from the Rocky Mountain Front west over the Divide and into the Great Basin. Storms will
be mostly on the wet side, but lightning should be abundant. A few drier storms will be possible
across central Oregon and extreme northern California. A trough of low pressure located over the
East will keep temperatures slightly below average. Scattered storms will be possible across the
Carolinas and Georgia, as a weakening frontal boundary remains stalled over the region. In Alaska,
widespread showers will be possible through afternoon across the eastern Interior; while most of the
reminder of the state begins to dry out. Temperatures will be slightly below average as a trough
lingers over the states midsection. http://www.predictiveservices.nifc.gov/outlooks/outlooks.htm

Name of fire and management agency. Request time and date. Location by ¼ section. Drainage name. Exposure
Size
Elevation (top and bottom). Fuel type. Fire character (ground, crown, etc.). Weather conditions (place, elevation, observation time, wind direction, wind velocity, dry bulb, wet
