…Areas of heavy rain and the potential for flash flooding forecast
throughout the south-central U.S. over the next couple of days…
…Above average temperatures in the West begins on Tuesday…
…Critical Fire Weather for parts of the Central Great Basin and Northern
Plains through early evening…
Tropical moisture present over the Gulf will interact with a front draped
along the Gulf Coast and produce periods of showers and thunderstorms
across the region over the next several days. Storms will focus over
portions of Texas beginning this evening. There’s a Slight Risk of
Excessive Rainfall leading to Flash Flooding over parts of central Texas
through Tuesday as storms capable of producing high/efficient rain rates
impact the area. The focus for showers and storms shifts to the Gulf Coast
and Lower Mississippi Valley on Wednesday.
Elsewhere, an amplifying upper-level ridge will support warmer air to flow
into the West this week. Temperatures in the 90s to 100s up and down the
West Coast will represent +10-20 degree departures from normal. Excessive
Heat Watches are in effect for much of the Desert Southwest ahead of what
will be a hot mid-end of the week for the region. Critical Fire Weather
day continues into the early evening across portions of the Central Great
Basin and Northern Plains where strong winds associated with a pair of low
pressure systems propagating through the region and drier than normal
conditions will could promote fires. Temperatures remain around or below
average across the Eastern U.S. this week beneath an area of surface high
pressure centered over the Midwest.
