Scattered storms will linger in the Southeast, while cooler air brings a taste of fall to the East Coast and the West feels a cool down.
Big Storms in Northern Rockies and Plains
Today, a strong low-pressure system is bringing unsettled weather to the Northern Rockies and Northern Plains. Expect a mix of strong to severe thunderstorms, with a heavy rain threat in Northwestern Montana. By tomorrow, these storms will move into the North-Central Plains and gradually reach the Upper Midwest by Wednesday. The potential for excessive rainfall is highlighted in Iowa from Tuesday to early Wednesday, so keep umbrellas handy!
Heat Stays Put in the Central U.S.
The central part of the country will continue to swelter under a persistent heat dome. Heat indices could soar between 105 to 110 degrees, making for uncomfortable conditions across the Central/Southern Plains and Mississippi Valley. Stay cool and hydrated, especially if you're outside celebrating Labor Day with family and friends.
Cooler Days for the East and West
The East Coast will enjoy cooler weather as high temperatures stay in the mid-70s to low-80s, with morning lows dipping into the 40s and 50s in New England. A refreshing taste of fall is on the way! Meanwhile, the West will feel a significant cool down with temperatures dropping 10 to 25 degrees below normal, except for the Four Corners region. Some high elevations in Northern California and the Sierra Nevada could even see freezing morning temperatures.
Scattered Storms in the Southeast
The Southeast, including Florida, will continue to experience scattered thunderstorms through the next few days as the frontal boundary stalls before reaching the Gulf Coast. Keep an eye on the skies if you have plans outdoors.
