...SEVERE WEATHER AND FLASH FLOODING THREATS CONTINUE ACROSS
PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL AND SOUTH-CENTRAL U.S. THE NEXT FEW DAYS
...
...INTENSE HEAT PERSISTS ACROSS PARTS OF THE WEST, THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS, AND FLORIDA THROUGH MID TO LATE WEEK...
...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER FOR PORTIONS OF THE GREAT BASIN AND FOUR
CORNERS THROUGH THIS EVENING...
AN ACTIVE SUMMERTIME WEATHER PATTERN WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT
DAILY THREATS OF SEVERE WEATHER AND FLASH FLOODING ACROSS PARTS OF
THE CENTRAL AND SOUTH-CENTRAL U.S. THROUGH MID TO LATE WEEK. A FEW
SLOWER-MOVING DISTURBANCES AND FRONTAL BOUNDARIES WILL INTERACT
WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF GULF MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY, SETTING THE
STAGE FOR SEVERAL CLUSTERS OF THUNDERSTORMS THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THE
STRONGEST STORMS WILL HAVE THE HEIGHTENED POTENTIAL TO BECOME
SEVERE, ESPECIALLY FROM THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS TO THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS. ANY SEVERE STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DAMAGING
WINDS, LARGE HAIL, AND A FEW TORNADOES. IN ADDITION TO SEVERE
WEATHER, STORMS WILL ALSO CONTAIN HEAVY RAINFALL WHICH COULD LEAD
TO SCATTERED INSTANCES OF FLASH FLOODING. FARTHER EAST, SEVERE
WEATHER AND LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED
ALONG A COLD FRONT PUSHING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN MID-ATLANTIC THIS
AFTERNOON AS WELL.
IN CONTRAST TO AN UNSEASONABLY COOL AND DRY AIR MASS ADVANCING
FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS TO THE GREAT LAKES, NORTHEAST, AND
MID-ATLANTIC IN THE WAKE OF A COLD FRONT, PARTS OF THE WEST, THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS AND FLORIDA WILL CONTINUE TO BAKE UNDER INTENSE
HEAT THE NEXT FEW DAYS. HIGH TEMPERATURES ACROSS THESE
HEAT-STRICKEN REGIONS WILL CONTINUE TO RUN SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL, PROMPTING NUMEROUS HEAT ADVISORIES AND EXTREME HEAT
WARNINGS.
THE INTENSE HEAT COUPLED WITH GUSTY WINDS AND DRY FUELS WILL LEAD
TO CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS PARTS OF THE GREAT
BASIN AND FOUR CORNERS THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. ONGOING
FIRES ALONG WITH ANY NEW FIRES THAT DEVELOP WILL HAVE THE
POTENTIAL TO SPREAD QUICKLY AND CAN EXHIBIT EXTREME FIRE BEHAVIOR.
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS SHOULD WANE LATE THIS EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT, THOUGH ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER MAY LINGER INTO WEDNESDAY.
