Flood Watch Through Friday Morning

Dangerous Heat Potential Next Week

6/21/2026 Tornado Summary

A Flood Watch is in effect this afternoon through Friday morning. While much of the region is forecast to see a swath of 1-2" of rain, localized amounts up to 5" will threaten flash flooding and rises on creeks and streams. Stay alert if traveling, and heed road closures and alerts.

Sunday will mark a noticeable warmup. This heat, combined with the already-humid air, will lead to heat index values exceeding 100°F next week. Prolonged heat with little to no relief overnight increases the chance of heat related illness, especially for vulnerable populations.

A total of 4 tornadoes were surveyed from thunderstorms on 6/21/2026. Three were rated EF0 and one was EF1. Most damage was confined to trees, though some tree limbs did fall onto structures causing roof damage.
