Flash
Flooding, Tropical Storm, and Dangerous
Heat Threaten Multiple Regions
A slow-moving cold front is expected to bring significant flash flooding today and tomorrow from the Virginia Tidewater into the Carolinas. Repeated thunderstorms may produce heavy rainfall, while a few severe storms with damaging winds or tornadoes remain possible. Tropical Storm Bertha will continue moving slowly across the central Gulf Coast, bringing tropical storm conditions, coastal flooding, and isolated flash flooding from southern Alabama to southeastern Louisiana. Across the Southwest, Four Corners, and Great Basin, monsoonal thunderstorms will continue to produce localized flash flooding through tomorrow before shifting toward the Central Rockies and Plains. Dangerous heat will persist across the Southern Plains through Friday and expand into parts of the Southwest, Great Basin, and Northern Plains.

Severe
Thunderstorms Expected from the
Mid-Atlantic into the Northeast
Strong to severe thunderstorms are expected today across parts of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast as a cold front moves eastward. The greatest threat includes damaging wind gusts that could bring down trees and power lines, especially during the afternoon and evening. Some storms may also produce large hail, frequent lightning, and isolated tornadoes. Heavy rainfall could lead to localized flash flooding, particularly where storms repeatedly move over the same locations. Residents should closely monitor weather forecasts and be prepared to seek shelter if warnings are issued. Outdoor plans may need to change quickly as storms develop and intensify. Conditions are expected to improve later tonight as the cold front moves offshore and severe weather gradually comes to an end.

Heavy
Rainfall May Trigger Flash
Flooding Across the Southeast
and Mid-Atlantic
Heavy thunderstorms today may produce isolated to scattered flash flooding from parts of Kentucky and Tennessee into Virginia, the Carolinas, and nearby areas. Slow-moving storms combined with very humid air will allow intense rainfall to develop, especially where repeated storms track over the same locations. Areas that have already received recent rainfall will be more vulnerable because saturated ground will increase runoff. Forecasters note that the exact locations of the heaviest rain remain uncertain, but southern North Carolina, South Carolina, eastern Virginia, and eastern North Carolina could experience the greatest impacts. Additional thunderstorms may also continue overnight along the Appalachian Mountains. Residents in flood-prone locations should remain alert for rapidly changing weather conditions and possible Flash Flood Warning

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 forecast.
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.
