Severe Weather and Heavy Rainfall from the Midwest to the Ohio Valley; Mid-Summer Heat Continues

Severe thunderstorm and heavy rainfall threats will persist from the Midwest to Lower Great Lakes through Monday, shifting into the Ohio Valley and Central Appalachians Monday evening into Tuesday. Mid-summer heat will continue across much of the CONUS this week, with record highs possible well into the 100s across the south-central High Plains. Read More >

Temperatures today will top out in the mid-to-upper 90s, potentially the warmest temps of the week. An active pattern coupled with monsoonal moisture from the desert southwest will support repeated thunderstorm chances for the next few days. Today and Tuesday have more conditional chances of storms, while Wednesday and onward have far greater chances. Sufficient shear will also create the potential of severe weather conditions through the week. If we are lucky, we can finally wash away this wildfire smoke!
