🇺🇸 US National Weather Outlook 🇺🇸
(Click to Collapse/Expand)
Summer heat will continue from the Central Plains to the Southeast this week, with temperatures reaching the upper 90s and triple digits in some areas. Heat Advisories remain in effect, and a few daily temperature records could be set. Meanwhile, cooler weather will spread across the Intermountain West and Northern Plains, with temperatures dropping 10–20 degrees west of the Continental Divide by Thursday. Severe thunderstorms and heavy rain remain a concern across the Midwest, Ohio Valley and central Appalachians. The Ohio Valley faces an elevated flash-flood threat, with another 2–4 inches of rain possible in areas already affected by flooding. Damaging winds are also possible, especially in northern Illinois and the Ohio Valley. Southern Arizona may also see heavy rain and flash flooding.
Severe thunderstorms are expected today from eastern Iowa and northern Illinois into the Ohio Valley and central Appalachians, with the greatest concern for damaging wind gusts. Some storms could produce winds of 75 mph or greater if a well-organized storm system develops and tracks southeast. Storms may spread into Virginia and the Mid-Atlantic this afternoon and evening, although the threat there depends on how much the atmosphere can recover after earlier storms. A separate severe weather threat covers parts of the Northern Plains, where storms could produce large to very large hail and isolated damaging winds. Residents in affected areas should stay alert to changing weather conditions and have multiple ways to receive severe weather warnings.

Rain and Flash Flooding
Threaten the Ohio Valley
Periods of heavy rain
and thunderstorms will continue
across the Midwest, Ohio Valley
and Mid-Atlantic today, with the
greatest concern in parts of
Ohio, West Virginia,
Pennsylvania, Indiana and
Illinois. Some areas could
receive up to 3 inches of rain
in an hour, with isolated totals
approaching 6 inches. Soils are
already saturated from recent
rainfall, increasing the risk of
rapid flooding, especially in
West Virginia, where steep
terrain and fast-rising
waterways can worsen impacts.
The heavy rain threat also
extends into the Washington,
Baltimore and Richmond areas.
Southern Arizona remains at risk
for persistent heavy rainfall
and flash flooding, while
increasing moisture could bring
more thunderstorms across the
Great Basin. Residents should
monitor weather alerts and avoid
flooded roads.
🔥Fire Weather Outlook🔥
Learn more about Fire Weather Outlooks
Elevated wildfire conditions are expected today across parts of the Great Basin, Idaho, Wyoming and the Southern High Plains. Dry air, low humidity and gusty winds will combine with increasingly receptive fuels to increase the potential for fires to start and spread quickly. Northeastern California and northwestern Nevada could see humidity near 10% or lower, with localized critical conditions possible where winds reach 20 mph. Southern Idaho and Wyoming will also experience dry, breezy conditions. Farther east, parts of the Texas Panhandle, western Oklahoma and southern Kansas face elevated fire danger due to low humidity and southerly winds. Dry thunderstorms may develop over higher terrain in the Southwest, creating isolated ignition concerns. Increasing moisture and rain later this week should gradually improve conditions.

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.
