August appears to be trending hotter in the West but wetter in the East compared to what was previously forecast. Overall, the entire Lower 48 is expected to be at least “slightly warmer” than average in August, according to an update released Wednesday by The Weather Company and Atmospheric G2.
The hottest conditions, when compared to a typically hot August, are expected from the northern Rockies into the high country of Utah and Colorado. That said, much of the West – from the Great Basin to Arizona, New Mexico and the adjacent High Plains – is expected to sweat through a hotter-than-usual August.
