Our roads are about to face big challenges. A strong frontal system will bring heavy rain and storms from the Rockies to the Plains, affecting major highways, while the South-Central U.S. continues to endure extreme heat. Expect potential delays and be prepared for changing conditions. Stay safe out there!
Western and Central U.S. Storms
As we look at the weather impacting our roads today, we've got a strengthening frontal system that's going to bring widespread showers and thunderstorms starting this morning. This will affect major routes like
Interstate 80 and
Interstate 70 through the Rockies and into the Plains. If you're traveling through these areas, anticipate possible road closures and delays due to flash flooding, particularly around
Denver, CO and
Kansas City, MO. Expect challenging driving conditions through midweek.
Heat Impact in the South-Central U.S.
Down south, we're facing dangerously hot weather, with highs in the 90s to over 100 degrees. This heat wave will impact travel, especially on major roads like
Interstate 35 and
Interstate 20 passing through cities like
Dallas, TX and
San Antonio, TX. Be prepared for potential heat-induced vehicle problems and plan for additional travel time as this heat continues through midweek. Stay hydrated and check your vehicle's cooling system before hitting the road.
