A SLOW MOVING FRONTAL BOUNDARY STRETCHING NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST
ACROSS THE NORTHERN-CENTRAL PLAINS INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY WILL CONTINUE BE THE FOCUS FOR ACTIVE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THE NEXT ROUND OF HEAVY
RAINS TO THE EAST OF THIS FRONT EXPECTED TO FORM LATE MONDAY NIGHT
INTO EARLY TUESDAY OVER THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS ACROSS EASTERN
COLORADO AND THEN PUSH EASTWARD EARLY TUESDAY THROUGH KANSAS AND
INTO WESTERN MISSOURI. THIS WILL BE FOLLOWED BY YET ANOTHER AREA

NORTHEAST COLORADO, SOUTHERN NEBRASKA INTO MUCH OF MISSOURI. WITH
THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE THAN ONE ROUND OF HEAVY RAINS TO MOVE

FROM EASTERN COLORADO, ACROSS PORTIONS OF KANSAS AND INTO
MISSOURI.
IN THE REGIONS OF ACTIVE THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS,
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW AVERAGE. BELOW AVERAGE
TEMPERATURES AND LOWER HUMIDITIES WILL CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT TWO
DAYS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE EAST FROM THE SOUTHERN MID-ATLANTIC

THE SOUTHERN TIER OF THE NATION FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS, EAST
ACROSS THE GULF COAST, SOUTHEAST AND FLORIDA. WHILE THERE IS NOT
EXPECTED TO BE MANY RECORD HIGHS ACROSS THESE REGIONS OVER THE
NEXT TWO DAYS, THE HOT TEMPERATURES AND HIGH LEVELS OF HUMIDITY
ARE RESULTING IN HEAT ADVISORIES ACROSS MUCH OF THESE REGIONS,
AFFECTING NEARLY 37 MILLION PEOPLE.
BELOW AVERAGE TEMPERATURES ALSO ON TAP OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS FOR
MOST AREAS FROM THE ROCKIES TO THE WEST COAST. MONSOONAL SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE FROM THE DESERT SOUTHWEST INTO THE
ROCKIES WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS AND ISOLATED FLASH FLOODING. DRY
WEATHER EXPECTED ALONG THE WEST COAST FROM CALIFORNIA INTO THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND THE GREAT BASIN. THIS WILL CONTINUE THE
ONGOING FIRE WEATHER THREAT ACROSS THESE AREAS, ALONG WITH POOR
AIR QUALITY FROM ONGOING WILD FIRES.
