Today's US National Weather Outlook
🇺🇸
Severe thunderstorms are expected today and tonight from Iowa into the Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles. Large hail, damaging winds, and isolated tornadoes are possible, especially late this afternoon and evening. Very hot temperatures across the Plains, reaching the 90s and lower 100s, will help fuel storm development and may break daily records. Rain and cool conditions will continue across New England today but warmer weather returns Saturday before another round of showers and thunderstorms arrives late in the day. Meanwhile, cooler and more unsettled weather will spread across the Pacific Northwest and northern Rockies this weekend. Rain, mountain snow, and gusty winds are expected as a strong system moves inland and triggers severe storms across the northern Plains Saturday night
Powerful
Thunderstorms Expected Across Iowa and
Central Plains Today
Severe thunderstorms are expected today across much of Iowa, with dangerous weather also possible from northeast Kansas into Wisconsin. Storms may produce damaging winds over 70 miles per hour and large hail up to two inches in diameter. The greatest threat will develop late this afternoon and continue into tonight as warm, humid air moves northward across the Plains. Storms may organize into large clusters capable of widespread wind damage, especially across Iowa. Additional severe storms are possible in eastern Nebraska and northeast Kansas. Farther south, scattered storms from southwest Kansas into western Texas may produce strong wind gusts and isolated hail. Hot daytime temperatures and unstable air will help fuel severe weather throughout the region.

Critical
Fire Weather and Dry Thunderstorms
Threaten Plains States
Dangerous fire weather conditions are expected today across parts of the southern and northern Plains. Strong winds, very low humidity, and dry vegetation will create conditions favorable for rapid wildfire spread. The greatest concern is across southeast New Mexico, the Texas Panhandle, and the Oklahoma Panhandle, where dry thunderstorms may develop during the afternoon and evening. These storms could produce little rainfall, frequent lightning, and wind gusts over 58 miles per hour, increasing the risk of new wildfire starts and fast-moving fires. Additional critical fire weather conditions are expected across parts of the northern Plains, where gusty west winds and dry air will continue through the afternoon. Elevated wildfire danger is also forecast across Wyoming and nearby areas because of dry and windy 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.
