Rain and Storms Hit the Central and Ohio Valley
Expect widespread showers and thunderstorms on Thursday impacting routes such as
Interstate 70 and
Interstate 64, stretching from the Central Plains to the Ohio Valley. Areas in
Kentucky and
West Virginia are particularly vulnerable to heavy rainfall, so travelers should be prepared for potential slowdowns and delays.
Severe Weather in the Upper Midwest and Central Plains
On Friday, a cold front will bring the risk of severe storms to the Upper Midwest and Central Plains. Watch for severe weather along
Interstate 35 and
Interstate 94, especially affecting northern Minnesota and the U.P. of Michigan. Heavy rainfall can also be expected, which may lead to wet and slippery conditions.
Intense Heat in the Southern Plains
Through the rest of this week, the Southern Plains, particularly
Texas, will experience extreme heat. Travelers using routes like
Interstate 10 and
Interstate 35 should be mindful of heat-related stress. Although a cold front on Friday might bring some relief to northern areas, Texas remains under significant heat risk.
Rain and Storm Threat in the Southwest
The Southwest will see showers and storms due to monsoonal moisture, impacting routes such as
Interstate 40 and
Highway 93. Be prepared for changing weather conditions and potential delays.
