Current National Weather
Storms and Rain Expected in the Midwest
From Thursday night through Friday, expect strong storms and heavy rainfall stretching from Iowa to southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois. A shortwave trough, which is a disturbance in the upper atmosphere, and an approaching cold front will bring severe weather to these areas. Storms may bring 2-3 inches of rain, with some locations seeing even more, especially in Chicago, IL. Be cautious of flooding in urban areas. The potential for severe weather includes hail and strong winds, with an outside chance of a tornado.
Watch for Flash Flooding in the Southern Plains
This weekend, a cold front moves into parts of Colorado, New Mexico, and the southern Plains. This could lead to flash flooding due to storms organizing and moving slowly. Heavy rain in these areas could cause local flooding. Be ready for gusty winds and intense rainfall on Saturday in Oklahoma, Texas, and along the Colorado and New Mexico front range.
Summer Thunderstorms in the Southeast
The Southeast is getting typical summer thunderstorms driven by a warm, humid air mass. Expect some strong storms on Friday with the possibility of gusty winds and fast rain, which might cause temporary water buildup in low areas.
Heat Wave Hitting the West
The West will see temperatures climbing over the next few days. While the Desert Southwest might get a slight break, it will still be hot with temperatures around 110°F. The California Valleys will reach the 100s, and northern California and southern Oregon could feel like over 100°F, triggering an extreme Heat Watch. Washington and Oregon will see temperatures in the upper 90s, possibly hitting 100°F by the weekend. It's crucial to stay hydrated and find shade during these hot days.
