Oppressive heat will continue from the Central Plains to the Southeast this week as a powerful heat dome expands from the Southwest. Temperatures will reach the upper 90s and triple digits, with humid conditions producing heat indices of 105 to 115 degrees. A stationary front from the High Plains to the Ohio Valley will trigger daily thunderstorms, with some storms bringing severe weather and flash flooding. Meanwhile, cooler weather will spread across the West beginning today as showers and thunderstorms increase. Southern Arizona and New Mexico face a risk of locally heavy rainfall and flash flooding. By Thursday, temperatures from the Rockies and northern Plains to the West Coast could be 5 to 15 degrees below normal.
Severe thunderstorms are possible this afternoon and evening from the northern and central High Plains to the Midwest and Ohio Valley. Storms across the Plains could produce large hail and damaging wind gusts, while thunderstorms farther east may bring damaging winds and isolated hail. Thunderstorm clusters developing over Iowa could move southeast through Illinois, Indiana, and the lower Ohio Valley. Additional storms are expected across the Dakotas, Nebraska, and northern Kansas, with some spreading into eastern Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana. Areas from Michigan into New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey also face isolated severe storms. In the Tennessee Valley and Southeast, very humid and unstable conditions could produce strong storms and isolated damaging wind gusts.

Risk of Excessive Rainfall
From Central Plains to
Tennessee Valley and Desert
Southwest
Heavy rainfall and
flash flooding are possible
Wednesday across parts of the
Central Plains, Midwest,
Tennessee Valley, and Desert
Southwest. Repeated
thunderstorms may track along a
stationary front from Iowa
toward Kentucky, creating areas
of training storms and rainfall
rates exceeding two inches per
hour. Where storms repeatedly
pass over the same locations,
rainfall could exceed five
inches, especially where soils
are already saturated. The exact
location of the heaviest rain
remains uncertain. Across
Arizona, Utah, southern Nevada,
the Great Basin, and Four
Corners, widespread
thunderstorms are expected as
moisture and instability
increase. Rainfall rates could
reach one inch per hour and
produce locally three inches of
rain, with flash flooding
especially dangerous in burn
scars, canyons, dry washes, and
urban areas.
🔥Fire Weather Outlook🔥
Learn more about Fire Weather Outlooks
Elevated fire weather conditions are expected today across portions of the Southern Plains, Great Basin, and Upper Snake River Plain. In the Southern Plains, temperatures near 100 degrees, strong southerly winds, very low humidity, and increasingly dry vegetation will increase the risk of rapidly spreading wildfires across parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, eastern New Mexico, and nearby areas. Some locations could see humidity below 10 percent. Farther northwest, showers and thunderstorms will develop across northern Washington, the Idaho Panhandle, and northwestern Montana, with some storms producing wetting rain but others posing a dry lightning threat. Dry, breezy conditions will also affect northeastern California, northwestern Nevada, southern Oregon, and southern Idaho, where humidity could fall below 10 percent.

The vast majority of weather apps are automated without human oversight and can miss critical, nuanced details during severe or changing weather. Do not rely on an app for the forecast. Instead, go to weather.gov for the foreca
Radar apps visualize precipitation intensity using color-coded echoes. However, updates are not instant, and even the most advanced composite radar mosaics can be delayed by 5 to 20 minutes by the time they reach your app.That delay means the weather you are viewing might already be miles away — or more intense than the image suggests.
