The Northeast will finally get some relief from the hot temperatures as a slow-moving front will bring rain. However, some of the storms ahead of the front will be severe, with the primary threat being damaging winds. The Storm Prediction Center has issued a SLIGHT risk (below) for Philadelphia, Baltimore, Charlotte, and Washington. Flooding will also be a concern as the frontal boundary slowly pushes east.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/1-1752113064326.png">The flood watches come after Chantal, a Tropical Storm that produced heavy rainfall across the Carolinas, therefore some of these areas are already saturated.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-09 041120-1752055892540.png">Over the next few days, some locations can pick up between 1-3" of rain with some heavier totals focusing around the Mid Atlantic region!<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/1-1752113138027.png"><h1>Severe Outlooks</h1><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/1-1752113240739.png">Tonight, as the front slides east, the risk is SLIGHT (level 2 out of 5) for severe storms across the Carolinas, Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware. On Thursday, SPC has highlighted a SLIGHT risk for parts of Georgia and the Carolinas.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/tomer east thr svr outlook-1752083815178.jpg">Friday SPC keeps a MARGINAL risk from the Southeast back into New England.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/1-1752099578986.png"><h2>Timing</h2>Storms will happen along and ahead of the frontal boundary. Over the next few days, strong to severe storms can develop, and during peak heating is when the risk for damaging winds and large hail will be the greatest.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/New Baron Video 3-1752113401958.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>Tune into WeatherNation :10 the hour for the Eastern Regional Forecast for more details.

Multiple lobes of energy spinning off of the Rockies is keeping the Plains states active this week. Each of the next 3 days will have severe storms somewhere around the area.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/tomer plains svr risk tonight-1752113135201.jpg"><h1>Thursday</h1>A slight risk for severe weather includes the Central Plains. There will be two zones to watch out for thunderstorm development. The first area will be thunderstorms redeveloping from Iowa eastward from Wednesday storms. Secondly, more thunderstorm development will be likely along the cold front across the Northern Rockies and Upper Midwest!<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/tomer plains svr risk thursday-1752113165894.jpg"><h1>Timing</h1><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/New Baron Video 3-1752098438670.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><h1>FRIDAY</h1>Sensing a theme? The overall picture won't change much: very unstable with the potential that a few storms survive from the night previous. South of those storms, we'll expect redevelopment of thunderstorms that will pose a threat.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/1-1752098484082.png">With multiple rounds of storms, flooding will be of some concern, with a few inches of rain likely. The tough thing about uncertainty in severe forecasting is that it brings uncertain rainfall amounts. This is a look at what the Weather Prediction Center is thinking.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/tomer plains rain forecast-1752113256930.jpg">As we continue to iron out the details, check back with us if you have any interests around the Plains states.

A slow-moving monsoonal thunderstorm developed over the burn scars from last year’s South Fork and Salt wildfires west of Ruidoso. In a short period of time, 2-6" of rain fell directly over a burn scar generating a flash flood emergency.<div class="twitter-tweet" style="display: flex; justify-content: center" data-twitt-post-id="1942924195832213932" src="https://x.com/WeatherNation/status/1942924195832213932"></div>The Rio Ruidoso rose explosively, jumping nearly 19 ft within minutes and cresting at a staggering 20.24 ft, approximately 5 ft above the previous record of 15.86 ft set on July 20, 2024. This is a new record for the river.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Web 1-1752066478299.png">Ruidoso is a tourist town but the area has been plagued with active wildfires, in past years and these scarred terrain lead to flash flooding due to lack off vegetation, significantly reducing soil absorption and boosting surface runoff. Flood watches remain in place for the day today as more afternoon monsoonal storms are expected to develop in the area.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Web 2-1752066541392.png">

WEST - Heat alerts have been issued across the western U.S.. The cause of this heat wave is an upper-level ridge building in from Mexico. This will be responsible for the intense heat in the southwest.Heat advisories (orange), extreme heat warnings (pink), and extreme heat watches (red) have been issued for portions of California, Nevada, and Arizona through Thursday. Temperatures may rise to 110-116°F in some of these locations. Too hot for the human body to handle. Unfortunately, heat is the deadliest weather phenomenon in the USA.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-09 041818-1752056317453.png">Here's a look at our forecasted temperatures in comparison to the average.

Tropical Storm Chantal formed Saturday morning and made landfall early Sunday morning with sustained winds of 50 mph. Winds have knocked down some palm fronds and lead to a foot or two of storm surge so far. Chantal turned into an inland flooding threat, especially in North Carolina.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-07 073731-1751895631663.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-07 074408-1751895856913.png"><h1>Forecast</h1>The remnants of Chantal will continue to move Northeast and eventually get picked-up by an inbound cold front and carried back out to sea. Until that happens, efficient rainfall could produce some localized areas of flooding Monday. <video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/tomer chantal futurecast-1751848909743.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>A narrow band of heavy rain accumulation is possible through Tuesday morning.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-07 074157-1751895727202.png">Catch more details on the southeast during your Southeastern Regional Forecast, :10 past the hour on WeatherNation.
