A front extending from the Northern Plains to the Northern Rockies and
Great will move eastward to the Lower Great Lakes/Ohio Valley then
westward to the Central Rockies by Friday. The boundary will trigger
showers and severe thunderstorms over parts of northern Minnesota.
Therefore, the SPC has issued an Enhanced Risk (level 3/5) of severe
thunderstorms over parts of the Upper Mississippi Valley through Thursday
morning. The hazards associated with these thunderstorms are frequent
lightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a few tornadoes. In
addition, there will be an added threat of large hail, two inches or
greater over Minnesota to northwestern Iowa.

Furthermore, a stationary front with waves will extend across northern
Florida and across the Gulf Coast, and the combination of tropical
moisture over Florida will produce showers and thunderstorms with heavy
rain over parts of southern Florida. Therefore, the WPC has issued a
Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall through Thursday morning.
The associated heavy rain will create mainly localized areas of flash
flooding, with urban areas, roads, small streams, and low-lying areas the
most vulnerable. Also, showers and thunderstorms will develop along parts
of the Western Gulf Coast and Central/Southern High Plains. Furthermore, a
cold pool of air over New England will trigger daytime showers with
embedded thunderstorms.

On Thursday, the Midwest front will move over parts of the Ohio Valley,
creating showers and severe thunderstorms. Therefore, the SPC has issued a
Slight Risk (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms over parts of the Great
Lakes/Ohio Valley, Middle Mississippi Valley, and Central Plains from
Thursday through Friday morning. The hazards associated with these
thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts,
hail, and a few tornadoes. The system will also produce showers and
thunderstorms over parts of the Northeast on Thursday evening into Friday
morning. Showers and thunderstorms will develop over parts of the
Central/Southern High Plains.

In addition, the tropical moisture will continue to produce showers and
thunderstorms with heavy rain over parts of southern Florida. Therefore,
the WPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall from
Thursday into Friday morning. The associated heavy rain will create
mainly localized areas of flash flooding, with urban areas, roads, small
streams, and low-lying areas the most vulnerable.

Elsewhere, onshore flow will contribute to the development of rain over
parts of the Pacific Northwest Coast on Friday morning. Meanwhile,
upper-level ridging will strengthen over California and the Southwest on
Wednesday, and a subtropical high will form over North-Central Mexico,
leading to Excessive Heat Warnings and Heat Advisories over
Northern/Central California and Southwest and Excessive Heat Watches in
western Texas. It is crucial for residents and individuals involved in
outdoor activities to stay informed and take immediate and necessary
precautions.

…Threats for severe weather and flash flooding for portions of the
Central Plains into the middle/lower Missouri River Valley through
Saturday…

…Excessive heat over the West and Southwest through Saturday but some
relief coming on Sunday…

Most of the active weather across the lower 48 will focus across the
central portion of the nation through the weekend in the form of severe
thunderstorms and potential for flash flooding. Anomalous moisture will
pool in the vicinity of a pair of frontal boundaries located over the
Central Plains this evening. Severe thunderstorms are expected to increase
in coverage through this evening near a stationary front currently in
place across Nebraska, with threats for large hail and damaging straight
line winds in addition to tornadoes. An organized thunderstorm complex is
likely to form tonight and translate toward the southeast toward the lower
Missouri Valley, carrying a risk for flash flooding with high rainfall
rates and possibly 4-5 inches of rain by Saturday morning.

Severe weather (mainly hail and wind) and flash flood potential will focus
a little farther south on Saturday as a cold front moves through the
central Plains. The threat region will extend from the central High
Plains, through southern KS into the middle Mississippi and lower Ohio
Valleys. Spotty rainfall totals in excess of 3 inches will be possible in
addition to the severe thunderstorms.

Out West, an upper level ridge in place over the western U.S. will
maintain the hot weather on Saturday that has been impacting the region
over the past couple of days. However, the upper level ridge will be
displaced and weakened with the approach of an upstream trough axis and
associated surface cold front. The cold front is forecast to arrive early
on Sunday and advance south and east during the day which will lower the
magnitude of hot weather. Temperatures however, are still likely to remain
up to roughly 10 degrees above average on Sunday.

Across the Great Lakes region into the Northeast, temperatures will run 5
to 15 degrees below average beneath the influence of upper level troughing
this weekend. The region will remain unsettled however, with multiple
rounds of showers and thunderstorms beneath the upper trough and with a
surface low/cold front tracking eastward through Sunday. East of the
Appalachians, from the Mid-Atlantic to Southeast, high pressure will keep
temperatures near to slightly above average for the weekend but with
little to no chances for precipitation. The one exception will be across
the Florida Peninsula where high temperatures in the middle to upper 90s
may challenge a few daily maximum temperature records on Saturday and
Sunday. In addition, diurnally driven thunderstorms are expected each day
but with a focus across southern Florida where access to better moisture
will reside.
