Millions brace for weekend of severe storms on the East Coast

More than 90 million Americans are under a Level 2 (and higher) severe weather threat this weekend as a slow-moving cold front sweeps from the Ohio Valley into the Northeast, bringing widespread thunderstorms, damaging winds, heavy rain and the possibility of tornadoes. Flash-flood threats are in place for parts of the Ohio Valley Friday and for New York City and neighboring areas Saturday, with the Northeast likely to bear the brunt on the weekend. The pattern comes amid a heat dome and wildfire smoke that could affect temperatures, but forecasters expect the front to bring relief by Sunday.

Arthur Brings Heavy Rain, Flash Flood Threat as Season's First Named Storm

Tropical Storm Arthur, the first named storm of the season after forming off Texas, is expected to bring 5–10 inches of rain (with isolated totals up to 20 inches) from Texas across the Southeast, triggering flash flood concerns and prompting disaster declarations in parts of Texas; forecasters say rainfall duration and movement will largely drive flooding risk, even as El Niño keeps overall hurricane activity relatively subdued for the year.

Unseasonable heat and storms threaten millions as summer arrives early across the U.S.

Unseasonably hot conditions grip much of the U.S. this weekend, with temperatures reaching up to 108°F in several cities and about 26 million people facing extreme heat across the West, Plains and Southeast. The West Coast is also bracing for 80s to 100+ degree days with heat alerts in areas like Bakersfield, Redding, Portland and Seattle. Separately, severe thunderstorms and flash floods threaten 22 million from Texas to Kentucky, including cities such as Kansas City, Tulsa, Wichita and Springfield, MO, with the potential for nocturnal tornadoes and damaging winds. By Sunday, showers could push into the mid-Atlantic and Ohio Valley, potentially affecting as many as 54 million in NYC, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, D.C. Some of the warming may be linked to El Niño.”,
