Severe
Storms, Flooding, and Dangerous Heat
Threaten Multiple Regions This Week
Heavy rain, severe thunderstorms, and dangerous heat will affect several parts of the United States through Thursday. The greatest flash flooding threat is across parts of the Northeast, where repeated rounds of heavy rain could flood streets, small streams, and low-lying areas, especially where the ground is already saturated. Scattered thunderstorms across the Southeast and Gulf Coast may also produce damaging wind gusts and isolated flash flooding. Farther west, monsoon moisture will continue to trigger slow-moving thunderstorms across the Four Corners, Rockies, and High Plains, increasing the risk of localized flooding near burn scars and canyons. Meanwhile, dangerous heat will persist across the southern Plains and expand into the Southwest, with heat index values between 105 and 115 degrees, creating hazardous conditions for anyone without adequate cooling and hydration.

Strong
Thunderstorms May Bring Damaging
Winds to the Northern Plains and
Southeast
Strong thunderstorms are expected to develop this afternoon and evening across parts of the northern High Plains and the Southeast. The greatest concern is damaging wind gusts, although some storms in the northern High Plains could also produce large hail. Thunderstorms are expected to form along an advancing cold front and become more numerous through the late afternoon and evening. In the Southeast, the highest risk extends from southern Georgia into northern Florida, where hot, humid air will provide favorable conditions for strong storms capable of producing damaging winds. Residents in these areas should monitor the latest forecasts and be prepared to move indoors if warnings are issued. Lightning, heavy rain, and brief travel disruptions are also possible with the strongest thunderstorms.

Heavy
Rain Raises Flash Flood Risk
Across the Northeast While
Storms Continue Elsewhere
Heavy rain will
continue to bring a significant
flash flood threat across parts
of the Northeast today,
especially in western
Massachusetts, southern Vermont,
and much of southern New
England. Repeated rounds of
thunderstorms may produce
rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches
per hour, with widespread totals
of 2 to 4 inches and isolated
higher amounts. Flash flooding
may develop quickly,
particularly in low-lying areas,
urban locations, and places that
have already received heavy
rain. Farther west, monsoon
thunderstorms will continue
across the Four Corners and
eastern Colorado, where
saturated ground could increase
localized flooding concerns.
Along the Gulf Coast and parts
of the Southeast, slow-moving
thunderstorms may also produce
heavy rainfall, leading to
isolated flash flooding where
storms repeatedly track over the
same areas.

Wildfire Concerns Across Parts
of Nevada
Dry and breezy weather will increase the risk of wildfire activity across portions of Nevada today. Winds are expected to strengthen during the afternoon, with sustained speeds of 10 to 15 mph and gusts between 20 and 25 mph. At the same time, very low humidity levels of 5 to 15 percent will create favorable conditions for fires to spread more quickly. Although widespread critical fire weather is not expected, localized areas may experience elevated fire danger. Large existing wildfires could become more active and produce towering smoke plumes, especially near areas where isolated thunderstorms develop. Anyone in or near wildfire-prone areas should use extra caution with activities that could spark a fire and stay alert for changing fire conditions.
