Severe Weather and Flooding Threats for the Central U.S.; Dangerous Heat in the Southern and Western U.S.

Severe weather and flooding threats will continue for portions of the central U.S. over the next couple of days, with multiple rounds of thunderstorms expected. Dangerous heat will persist across the southern and western U.S. through mid-week. Hot and dry conditions will fuel fire weather concerns for the Intermountain West, where dry thunderstorms may spark additional wildfires. Read More >

Severe weather potential persists the next couple of days for much of the Panhandles. We will continue to fine tune the extent of these risks as we get closer, so please check back for updates!
Multiple rounds of storms are expected today, starting as early as this morning lasting through tonight. Initial storms will be across the east, with better severe storm potential spreading further west this afternoon-evening. How the morning storms evolve will greatly impact where & when storms develop later.
This graphic shows the best timing for severe storms. However, under the current weather pattern this timing graphic is not all encompassing, and severe storms may still form outside of these times.
Rain chances and attendant heavy rain probabilities are highest across the eastern Panhandles, where multiple rounds of storms will be possible through early Wednesday morning. This spells low to medium chances for 1 or more inches of rain that could lead to localized flooding.
Severe thunderstorms chances continue again Wednesday with best chances holding through the west. Meanwhile, there are doubts on how far east storms will survive. However, any activity that can survive will be capable of large hail up to 1 inch and wind gusts upward of 75 mph.
More rounds of storms remain possible to close out the work week. However, drier air and sweltering heat will take over the region with highs potentially reaching up to 107 by this Saturday. This heat could break records, but we will keep an eye on just how hot we may get as we get closer.
