Northeast
A frontal boundary is forecast to move through the region today and tonight bringing a chance of thunderstorms to most of the region by sunrise on Saturday.
A few severe storms are possible primarily in the interior sections this afternoon and possibly this evening.
Thunderstorms are expected in the Megalopolis this evening and overnight.
Another round of storms, including some severe, will move into the interior tomorrow and tomorrow night, while areas near the coast should stay mostly dry and hot.
More showers and storms are possible in western Pennsylvania, western New York, and Northern New England on Sunday.
Highs today will range from the upper 70s in parts of Maine and Northern New Hampshire to the upper 90s in the Washington, D.C. metro area.
Midwest
Showers and thunderstorms are possible along the same frontal boundary bringing storms to the Northeast from the central Great Lakes through the Ohio Valley and into the Ozarks.
Another system will begin to move into the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest tonight and tomorrow bringing the chance of storms to the Upper Mississippi Valley tomorrow, spreading east to the western Great Lakes tomorrow night then through the Great Lakes and Mid-Mississippi Valley on Sunday.
This next system is expected to stall early next week, leading to a chance of storms from the Northern Plains to the Mid-Mississippi Valley and into the Ohio Valley early next week.
Cooler, or at least closer to average, temperatures are expected by early next week.
Highs today will range from the upper 70s in northern Minnesota to the upper 90sin in parts of the Western Plains.
South
The frontal boundary moving south from the Midwest will bring a chance of storms from the Texas Panhandle eastward to the Mid-Atlantic Coast, with more typical of summer storms expected ahead of this boundary across the Southeast.
The front is expected to stall and die out over the weekend, but the chance of storms should continue near the Gulf Coast and across the Southeast.
Another boundary is expected to approach from the north on Monday bringing more storms to the Tennessee Valley and Southeast.
Temperatures are expected to be near seasonal averages in most places, with pockets of hotter than average temperatures expected Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and along the Texas/Louisiana border.
Highs today will range from the 80s in the Southern Appalachians to the 100s in parts of Texas and central Virginia.
West
Hot weather is expected to continue across the region today, except along the Pacific Northwest Coast.
A few thunderstorms are possible in the Southwest this afternoon and this evening.
The chance of storms should mainly be confined to the higher elevations of the Interior West over the weekend, while temperatures should begin to cool from the Pacific Northwest through the Northern Rockies into the Northern High Plains, while the Southwest stays hot.
However, the heat should begin to relax a little by early next week.
Highs today will range from the 60s along the Pacific and Northern California Coast to near 120 in Death Valley.
