A LARGE DOME OF COOL AIR WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE COOLER THAN
NORMAL CONDITIONS FOR EARLY AUGUST FROM THE GREAT PLAINS TO MUCH
OF THE EASTERN U.S. EXCEPT NEW ENGLAND THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS. THE SOUTHERN BOUNDARY OF THIS COOL DOME WILL REMAIN NEARLY
STATIONARY THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WITH HEAVY RAIN AND A
THREAT OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL ESPECIALLY FROM FLORIDA PANHANDLE
NORTHWARD. AS A LOW PRESSURE WAVE DEVELOPS ON THE STALLED FRONT,
THE EXCESSIVE RAINFALL THREAT IS FORECAST TO LIFT FURTHER INLAND
ACROSS THE INTERIOR SECTIONS OF THE SOUTHEAST THROUGH TUESDAY.
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL ALSO LIFT GRADUALLY NORTH
INTO NORTH CAROLINA AND POSSIBLY VIRGINIA ON TUESDAY.
MEANWHILE, ADDITIONAL ROUNDS OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE SOUTH-CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS THROUGH TONIGHT
TO THE EAST OF THE STALLED FRONT THAT BENDS BACK ACROSS THE GREAT
PLAINS. THE HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH THESE THUNDERSTORMS INCLUDE
FREQUENT LIGHTNING, SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WIND GUSTS, HAIL, AND
OCCASIONAL TORNADOES. A MARGINAL THREAT OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL IS
EXPECTED UP AND DOWN THE GREAT PLAINS THROUGH TONIGHT. BY MONDAY,
THE FRONT IS FORECAST TO WEAKEN, LEADING TO A LESSENING THREAT OF
SEVERE WEATHER AND HEAVY RAINFALL. BY TUESDAY, A LOW PRESSURE
WAVE ASSOCIATED WITH AN UPPER TROUGH FROM THE PACIFIC IS EXPECTED
TO TRIGGER THE NEXT ROUND OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS LATER THAT
DAY ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS.
FOR THE WESTERN U.S., WIDELY-SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
INTERIOR PACIFIC NORTHWEST ARE FORECAST TO BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD
BY TONIGHT AND SPREADING INTO THE NORTHERN ROCKIES AND CONTINUE
INTO EARLY TUESDAY AS A COLD FRONT DEVELOPS AND PASSES THROUGH THE
REGION. MEANWHILE, EXTREME HEAT WATCHES AND WARNINGS ARE IN
EFFECT FOR HIGH TEMPERATURES EXCEEDING 110 DEGREES ACROSS THE
DESERT SOUTHWEST AND SOUTHERN ARIZONA. OVER THE GREAT BASIN TO
THE FOUR CORNERS, ELEVATED TO CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER DANGER IS
ANTICIPATED THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WITH THE ARRIVAL OF
THE AFOREMENTIONED COLD FRONT LATER ON MONDAY. ACROSS THE UPPER
MIDWEST INTO THE GREAT LAKES AS WELL AS THE INTERIOR NORTHEAST,
SMOKE FROM CANADIAN WILDFIRES HAS CONTINUED TO PROMPT AIR QUALITY
ALERTS.
