Weather Report 07/16/2025

Heavy rainfall and flash flood threat continues for portions of the Mid-Atlantic west into the Ohio Valley Wednesday.

Heavy downpours and flash flooding expected with a tropical disturbance moving along the north-central Gulf Coast through mid-week.

Potent summer storm system to bring flash flooding and severe weather threat to the Midwest and northern/central Plains Wednesday.

Heat threat building across much of the eastern U.S. through at least mid-week.

A potent summer storm system moving through the central U.S. will be another focus area for more widespread thunderstorms with the threat of both flash flooding and severe weather. A complex convective scenario will unfold Wednesday as ongoing overnight thunderstorm complexes along a cold front stretching from the Upper Midwest southwest through the Missouri Valley and into the central Plains will help influence further thunderstorm development into the day.

Increasingly uncomfortable and potentially dangerous heat is expected across the eastern U.S. west to the Lower Mississippi Valley the next couple of days as temperatures rise into the 90s and the moisture-rich, muggy airmass remains. Widespread Moderate to Major Heat Risk (levels 2-3/4) is in place indicating a level of heat dangerous to anyone without access to air conditioning or adequate hydration. A cold front will bring some relatively cooler temperatures to the interior Northeast Thursday.

WYOMING

Cooler temperatures across the area today, especially east of the Divide, in the wake of Tuesday’s cold front. Showers and thunderstorms will be possible again across Sweetwater County this afternoon. Elevated fire weather conditions will return to southwestern portions. with west-northwest wind gusts of 25 to 35 mph.

NEBRASKA

There is a marginal threat for severe thunderstorms late this afternoon into the evening hours. The main area of concern is generally southwest of a line from Lisco to Hayes Center. Hail up to quarter size and wind gusts to 60 MPH are possible.

COLORADO

The threat for dry lightning continues today, primarily across Utah and far western Colorado. Thunderstorms may produce more wetting rain across higher elevations along the Divide and in the San Juan mountains. Ultimately, any storm that does develop today has the potential to produce strong outflow winds and new lightning-started fires.

Have a fantastic day!
