Western Gulf Coast...

Lakes...

...Elevated to Critical fire weather conditions across the Southern Great
Basin...

Upper-level energy over Texas and moisture from the Western Gulf of Mexico
will aid in producing showers and thunderstorms over the Western Gulf
Coast Sunday through Tuesday.  In addition, a front over the Northern
Rockies will slowly move eastward to the Upper Great Lakes/Upper
Mississippi Valley by Tuesday.  The system will produce showers and
thunderstorms over the northern Intermountain Region on Sunday.  Overnight
Sunday, showers and thunderstorms will develop over the Central Rockies
and the Northern/Central High Plains, and by Monday will move into the
Upper/Middle Mississippi Valley.  Overnight Monday, the showers and
thunderstorms will move into the Great Lakes.  Ahead of this system,
upper-level ridging will aid in producing temperatures 10 to 15 degrees
above average over the northern High Plains.

Critical fire weather conditions will develop across eastern Nevada,
western/southern Utah, and northwest Arizona with south-southwest
sustained winds of 15-25 mph and minimum relative humidity of 8-20%
expected across the region.  Elevated fire weather conditions are expected
around the critical area, extending through Utah into northwest Colorado.
These dry/windy conditions could spread any ongoing fires that were
sparked by recent lightning.

Upper-level troughing over the Lower Great Lakes will aid in producing
temperatures 10 to 15 degrees below average.  Also a front lingering over
South Florida will aid in producing showers and thunderstorms over the
region through Tuesday morning.
