The Nation's Weather for Friday, August 4, 2023

_____

NATIONAL SUMMARY

As a cool front approaches the Northeast, a slight surge in

humidity levels will help to trigger thunderstorms today. A

few of the storms are likely to turn severe with strong wind

gusts and hail, as well as the potential for localized flash

flooding. More drenching storms will dampen the Southeast as

the likelihood of flash flooding will continue from the

southern Appalachians to the Tennessee and mid-Mississippi

Valley and central Plains. Some of the storms in the Central

states will also trigger high winds and hail. Another pocket

of both severe storms and flash flooding will target the

northern Rockies, including some of the popular national

parks. A few storms are also forecast to erupt over parts of

interior Oregon. Meanwhile, extreme heat will build from

Texas and Oklahoma to Arizona and Nevada.
