Severe Storms and Flooding Threat in the Central Plains; Heat Continues in the South and West

Severe thunderstorms may produce damaging winds, large hail, and numerous instances of flash/urban flooding over parts of the central Plains and lower Missouri Valley. Hazardous heat will continue in the South, Desert Southwest and the California Central Valley this weekend. Isolated dry thunderstorms may increase the risk of fire starts and spread across the Four Corners region and vicinity. Read More >

Tomorrow (Saturday) will feature 2 chances for thunderstorms: one in the early afternoon (35-50% chance) and another later in the afternoon into the evening (50-70% chances). Lightning will be the primary concern with this activity. Saturday is not a complete wash by any means, particularly with the dry weather in the morning and the relatively low rain chances early into the afternoon. That said, if you're planning outdoor activities, be sure to have a plan to reach safe shelter if necessary, and when thunder roars, go indoors!
