 In the Intermountain West region, we will once again have some showers and thunderstorms forming, mainly over the higher elevations. The activity will be spotty, but also widespread, covering the area from the southwest through the Rockies and westward to the Sierra Nevada. A few of the storms can become gusty, and there is also a risk for some dry lightning strikes, which could start wildfires. The west coast states will be largely dry under sunshine, and it will be quite hot across the northwest again with highs in the 90s and 100s.
