Storms Target Great Lakes to Northeast with Damaging Winds and Flood Risks

A potent thunderstorm system will sweep from the Plains into the Great Lakes and then toward the Northeast, bringing damaging winds up to about 85 mph, hail, and heavy rain that could trigger flash flooding and travel disruptions along the I-95 corridor from New York City to Raleigh; wet conditions are expected to linger Buffalo to Boston through Tuesday, with severe weather possible in New England by Wednesday. Separately, heat indices of 105–115 F are forecast across much of the central and southern U.S.
