🇺🇸 US National Weather Outlook 🇺🇸

An active weather pattern will continue through Monday across much of the United States. Severe thunderstorms are expected from the northern Plains into the Upper Midwest, where damaging wind, large hail, and a few tornadoes are possible. Repeated rounds of heavy rain may also lead to localized flooding across parts of the northern Plains, northern Rockies, and Mid-Atlantic. Scattered thunderstorms will remain common across the Southeast and parts of Texas. Meanwhile, dangerous heat will expand across much of the central and eastern United States, with afternoon temperatures in the 90s to lower 100s and heat index values reaching 100 to 110 degrees. In contrast, the western states will remain much cooler than normal. Critical fire weather conditions will also continue across the Four Corners region.
Strong to severe thunderstorms are expected to affect parts of the northern Plains, Upper Midwest, and Carolinas through tonight. A morning line of storms may continue producing damaging wind gusts across portions of southern Minnesota and northern Iowa before weakening later today. By tonight, the greatest severe weather threat will shift into the Dakotas, where storms could produce large to very large hail and damaging wind gusts. Isolated severe storms are also possible across parts of Wisconsin. Farther east, scattered thunderstorms developing this afternoon and evening across the Carolinas and southern Virginia may produce localized wind damage. In western Texas, isolated thunderstorms may generate strong outflow wind gusts, especially during the late afternoon and evening hours.

Flash Flood Threat Targets
Kentucky, Tennessee, and
Southern Indiana as Heavy Rain
Continues
Heavy rainfall will
continue to create a dangerous
flash flood threat across parts
of southwest Indiana, central
and southern Kentucky, and
northeast Tennessee through
today. Repeated thunderstorms
may produce rainfall rates of 2
to 3 inches per hour, with
additional totals of 3 to more
than 5 inches possible in some
locations. Saturated ground will
increase the risk of rapid,
life-threatening flooding,
especially through midday.
Elsewhere, periods of heavy rain
may also lead to localized
flooding across parts of
Montana, the Upper Midwest,
eastern North Carolina,
southeast Virginia, and the
central Appalachians. Isolated
flash flooding is also possible
in western Texas, where
afternoon and evening
thunderstorms may develop along
a dryline. Residents should
remain alert for rapidly
changing weather conditions.
🔥Fire Weather Outlook🔥
Learn more about Fire Weather Outlooks
Critical fire weather conditions will continue today across parts of northern Arizona, southeastern Utah, western and southwestern Colorado, and northwestern New Mexico. Strong southwest winds of 20 to 25 miles per hour, with higher gusts, combined with extremely dry air will create conditions that allow any new fire to spread rapidly. Several consecutive days of hot, dry, and breezy weather have also left vegetation highly susceptible to burning, increasing the overall wildfire danger. Elevated fire weather conditions will extend into surrounding portions of the Great Basin and Southwest. Later tonight, a cold front is expected to move through parts of the region, bringing higher humidity, shifting winds, and a gradual improvement in fire weather 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 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.
