🇺🇸 US National Weather Outlook 🇺🇸
(Click to Collapse/Expand)
A slow-moving weather pattern will bring rounds of showers and thunderstorms to much of the eastern and central United States through Friday. Some storms may produce brief, heavy rainfall that could lead to localized flash flooding, especially in low-lying areas, near small streams, and on roads. The greatest flood concerns are along the South Carolina coast and from parts of the Midwest into the central Plains. In the Southwest, seasonal monsoon moisture will continue to spark afternoon and evening thunderstorms with locally heavy rain. Meanwhile, wildfire smoke will linger across much of the Northwest and Great Basin, reducing air quality and posing health concerns, particularly for sensitive groups. Temperatures will also trend warmer across the Northwest, increasing the risk of heat-related impacts.
Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop this afternoon and continue into the overnight hours across parts of the Midwest, with the greatest risk centered on Missouri and Illinois. A few storms could become strong enough to produce damaging wind gusts and hail. Isolated severe thunderstorms are also possible across portions of the southern High Plains, including the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles, where strong wind gusts will be the primary concern. In southeastern Arizona, afternoon and evening thunderstorms developing over the mountains may bring locally damaging wind gusts as they move into lower elevations. While widespread severe weather is not expected, residents in these areas should remain weather-aware and be prepared for rapidly changing conditions if strong thunderstorms develop.

Heavy
Rain and Flash Flooding Threat
Continues Across Parts of the
Central U.S. and East Coast
Rounds of showers and
thunderstorms will continue
through the day across parts of
the central United States as a
slow-moving cold front pushes
eastward. The greatest risk for
heavy rainfall and localized
flash flooding stretches from
the central Plains into the Mid
and Upper Mississippi Valley,
especially in areas that
received rain recently.
Additional heavy downpours are
also possible from the southern
and central Appalachians into
the Mid-Atlantic, including the
South Carolina coast, where
urban flooding is a concern
around Charleston. Scattered
thunderstorms may also produce
locally heavy rain across parts
of Florida. In the Southwest,
monsoon thunderstorms will
continue across Arizona and New
Mexico, bringing isolated
flooding concerns in normally
dry washes, canyons, and
low-lying areas.
🔥Fire Weather Outlook🔥
Learn more about Fire Weather Outlooks
Warm, dry weather will continue across much of the western United States, creating conditions favorable for wildfire growth. The greatest concern is across portions of the Interior West, including parts of the northern Colorado Plateau and southwest Wyoming, where low humidity and breezy winds could allow any new or existing fires to spread more rapidly. Elsewhere, California's interior valleys and nearby foothills will experience triple-digit temperatures combined with very dry air, increasing fire danger despite generally lighter winds. While widespread critical fire weather conditions are not expected, localized areas may still see elevated wildfire risk, especially where dry vegetation is abundant. Residents should use extra caution with any activity that could accidentally spark a fire.

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.
