A cold front is making its way through, causing showers and thunderstorms. The most intense rainfall will affect areas from western West Virginia to eastern Kentucky, where the ground is already quite soaked. Be on the lookout for localized flooding in susceptible areas.

The cold front continues its journey, bringing ample showers and thunderstorms to the Southeast and southern Mid-Atlantic regions. Expect some downpours, especially in areas that are already seeing rain.

Upper Midwest to Central Plains: Friday

Southern Plains to Lower Mississippi Valley: Through Weekend

The heat remains a major concern, with temperatures soaring due to an upper-level ridge. Areas in Texas are particularly affected, facing a relentless heat wave. While northern regions might get a slight break from the cold front, the heat in Texas and surrounding areas will persist into the weekend.
