Areas of Severe Thunderstorms and Excessive Rainfall; Heat Wave Builds in the Intermountain West and Plains

A slow moving front will bring rounds of strong to severe thunderstorms and heavy rainfall to the central Plains eastward to the east-central U.S.. The first widespread significant heat wave of summer for the Intermountain West and Plains is expected to develop today and expand through next week. Dangerous heat will continue to impact portions of the Southwest and Southeast. Read More >

 

A Flood Watch remains in effect for all of our East Tennessee, southwest Virginia, and western North Carolina counties. Multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms will affect the area through the weekend. As a result, flooding could become an issue, especially for any areas that see repeated heavy rainfall from thunderstorm activity.
Showers and storms will be more widespread today, continuing into the weekend. While it will not rain the whole time, multiple rounds of showers and storms will lead to an increased threat for flash flooding. A few storms may also bring strong, gusty winds at times.
