087 FXUS01 KWBC 062007 PMDSPD Short Range Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 405 PM EDT Mon Jul 06 2026 Valid 00Z Tue Jul 07 2026 - 00Z Thu Jul 09 2026 ...Heavy rainfall to continue across Long Island and southern New England as coastal low drifts offshore... ...Strong to severe thunderstorms possible over parts of the Mid-Atlantic and the Plains... ...Elevated to critical fire weather concerns across the Interior West... ...Dangerous heat and humidity to persist across the Southeast while heat builds in the Southwest... A slow-moving area of low pressure will continue to produce areas of locally heavy rainfall as it drifts eastward off the northern Mid-Atlantic coast. Additional heavy rainfall is expected into tomorrow, particularly across Long Island and southern New England as the low gradually moves offshore. Farther west, unsettled weather will persist through the early part of the week along a trailing frontal boundary extending back through the Mid-Atlantic to a lingering area of low pressure over the Ohio Valley. This includes late-day thunderstorms expected to develop across the Mid-Atlantic today, which may produce another round of damaging winds across parts of the region. From the southern Plains to the Southeast, summertime heat and humidity will fuel showers and thunderstorms today and tomorrow. Some of these storms may produce damaging wind gusts, especially those that develop near the ArkLaTex region later today. Across the northern Plains, a frontal boundary will linger through tomorrow, providing a focus for showers and thunderstorms. Some of these storms may produce damaging winds and large hail, especially across parts of Minnesota and the eastern Dakotas today, with the threat shifting into southern Minnesota and South Dakota tomorrow. Mostly dry conditions are expected west of the Rockies. Dry conditions combined with gusty winds will create elevated to critical fire weather conditions across parts of the Cascades and Sierra Nevada, Great Basin, and Four Corners region. Above-normal temperatures and high humidity will continue to pose an elevated risk of heat-related illnesses across the Southeast through midweek, while heat gradually builds across the southern Plains. In the Southwest, temperatures are also expected to climb, with Extreme Heat Warnings and Heat Advisories beginning tomorrow and remaining in effect through midweek across parts of Arizona and southern California.
