Above-average temperatures may prolong summer-like conditions, particularly in the mid-Atlantic and southeastern U.S., with high humidity and warm nights. Drought conditions in the Southwest have driven water levels in Lake Mead and Lake Powell to historic lows, though some relief is expected. Wildfire risks are expected to persist in the Northwest through early fall, while suppressed rainfall in the Caribbean could exacerbate drought conditions in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Flooding potential may arise in the southern Plains and interior Southeast due to a quick shift to wetter weather.
