Severe Thunderstorms and Heavy Rain from the Plains to the Mid-Atlantic; Ongoing Heat in the South

Severe thunderstorms and showers pose a risk for excessive rain, localized flash flooding, strong gusts and/or large hail across portions of the northern and central Plains, the Lower Missouri to Lower Ohio Valleys, and across the Mid-Atlantic this afternoon and evening. Extreme heat is ongoing over the Desert Southwest and the Southeast U.S.. Read More >

We have extended the Lake Wind Advisory for the San Luis Reservoir and along Highway 152, as well as Lake Isabella and the Kern River Valley through 11 PM Friday (Jul 10). Sustained winds 15-20 mph from the west with gusts to 35 mph are expected. Gusts this high are capable of producing whitecap waves dangerous to small watercraft and are dangerous to drivers, particularly those in high-profile vehicles. Exercise caution if recreating at San Luis Reservoir and Lake Isabella or driving in the area.
High pressure over California will continue to warm temperatures through this week. The hottest days of the week (Friday & Saturday) will experience region-wide triple digit heat as well as the first 110 degree days in lower elevations of the Mojave Desert. Reduce time outside and take steps to reduce risk of heat illness if outdoors!
