Lowell to Impact Hawaii; Heat Persists in the South-Central U.S.

Hurricane Lowell is forecast to pass west of Kauai`s coastal waters tonight. Impacts such as high surf and heavy rain could impact all of the islands. Sweltering heat remains across the South-Central Plains and Lower/Middle Mississippi Valley into this week with limited nighttime relief. Periods of moderate to heavy rainfall will be possible through Tuesday morning in the northern Rockies. Read More >

Widespread rains this morning will give way to mild temperatures in the 60s by this afternoon. Unfortunately, the warm temperatures will bring a risk for strong to severe storms later this afternoon and evening. The main threats with any strong to severe storms will be damaging wind gusts, some of which could reach or exceed 60mph. The line of storms should push east of the I-75 corridor by 9pm EST. Some localized high water concerns could also arise due to locally heavy rainfall.
