Extreme heat is waning over the Pacific Northwest. Dry, gusty winds, and isolated dry thunderstorms will bring critical fire weather to the Pacific Northwest and Intermountain West. Heavy rain and thunderstorms continue across portions of the Great Basin, Rockies, and central/southern Plains into the Ozarks. An atmospheric river will bring heavy rain and strong winds to southwest Alaska. Read More >

Last Map Update: Thu, Aug 28, 2025 at 5:22:09 am CDT

Heavy rain will be possible beginning Friday night and once again on Saturday night. A few rounds of showers and thunderstorms are possible during this time period which may lead to localized flooding through Sunday morning. The central and west have the higher potential for heavy rain during this time frame.
Showers and thunderstorms will move in from the west on Friday evening through the night. The primary hazards with any storms on Friday night will be hail up to half dollars and wind gusts up to 60 mph. Heavy rain will also be possible with any showers or storms Friday night.
High temperatures are expected to cool down over the next few days. A weak cold front will move across the area today and temperatures will be cooler across the north than across the south. Highs in the low 80s to upper 70s are forecast for Friday.
With the potential for heavy rain that could lead to localized flooding this weekend, now is the time to prepare for the potential impacts. Remember to never drive through flood waters if any flooding does occur this weekend.
