...SEVERE WEATHER AND HEAVY RAINFALL THREAT CONTINUES IN THE
CENTRAL AND EASTERN U.S...
..HAZARDOUS HEAT TO FOCUS OVER THE SOUTHERN AND EASTERN U.S
DAILY CHANCES FOR SEVERE WEATHER AND HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CONTINUE
INTO THE WEEKEND AS A FRONTAL SYSTEM PIVOTS ACROSS THE NATION'S
MIDSECTION. THE MOST WIDESPREAD AND IMPACTFUL ROUND OF SEVERE
WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO IMPACT PORTIONS OF THE MIDWEST (INCLUDING
THE CHICAGO AND QUAD CITIES AREAS) THIS AFTERNOON, WHERE TORNADO
AND FLOOD WATCHES ARE IN EFFECT AS THUNDERSTORMS RAPIDLY EXPAND IN
COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. A SEPARATE (BUT
LESS INTENSE) AREA OF SEVERE WEATHER IS ALSO POSSIBLE TODAY OVER
PORTIONS OF THE OHIO VALLEY AND NORTHEAST THIS AFTERNOON AHEAD OF
A WEAKENING LEAD COLD FRONT. BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON, STORMY SKIES
WILL BE COMMONPLACE ACROSS MUCH OF THE NORTHEAST AND MID-ATLANTIC
AS THE MAIN COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST, WHICH COULD
PRODUCE SCATTERED SEVERE WIND GUSTS. EVENTUALLY, ORGANIZED
THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF BOTH SEVERE WEATHER AND EXCESSIVE
RAINFALL WILL RE-FOCUS OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS ON SATURDAY AS THE
MAIN COLD FRONT STALLS AND BEGINS TO MEANDER NORTHWARD.
THUNDERSTORMS ASIDE, HAZARDOUS HEAT REMAINS A CONCERN OVER THE
SOUTHERN AND EASTERN U.S. OWING TO THE COMBINATION OF HIGH
HUMIDITY, HOT DAYTIME TEMPERATURES, AND WARM OVERNIGHT
TEMPERATUES. IN FACT, BY TOMORROW MANY DAILY HIGH TEMPERATURE
RECORDS COULD FALL ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD FROM GEORGIA TO NEW
YORK AS TEMPERATURES CLIMB TOWARDS TRIPLE DIGIT READINGS. AS SUCH,
THE LATEST EXPERIMENTAL NWS HEATRISK OUTLOOK SUGGESTS MAJOR TO
LOCALLY EXTREME HEAT IMPACTS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH SATURDAY FROM
THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TO THE NORTHEAST AS THE POTENT HEAT
SETS IN.
