<p>A stalled boundary over the Carolinas will keep storms in the forecast into the weekend, leading to an increased risk for flash flooding. While we do have severe weather chances, models are showing high rainfall rates and a flood risk for the area.</p><div class="twitter-tweet" style="display: flex; justify-content: center" data-twitt-post-id="2080088002332872753" src="https://x.com/WeatherNation/status/2080088002332872753"></div><h1>Flooding</h1><p>With the front sticking around for the long haul, rainfall chances will be in the forecast daily. This stretch makes it all the way out to the weekend! Rainfall totals across the South will average between 3-6 inches of rain. Localized heavier amounts are possible. Make sure you have a plan of action if high water becomes an issue in your neighborhood.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot 2026-07-24 063420-1784896464133.png">With a large amount of rain in the forecast, the risk for flash flooding will be present.

Dry air and increasing shear mean the storm is expected to weaken some through the weekend as it approaches the Hawaiian Islands. It's too early to determine if the storm will track over the islands or head north, but some impacts can be expected. Large swells and strong currents will impact the islands next week, but wind and rain impacts from the system itself cannot be ruled out.

<p>The upcoming stretch of hot temperatures will be a talker across parts of the Plains and Midwest. As the upper high builds northward, we will keep an eye on a couple of cold fronts and jet stream energy riding the blocking high resulting in severe chances Friday-Monday. Let's talk about Friday first.</p><p>Friday<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/1-1784857563832.png">The Storm Prediction Center has highlighted a Slight risk for severe storms on Friday across North Dakota and Northern Minnesota. The primary threats will be damaging winds and an isolated tornado or two. Storms will get going during the afternoon heating and continue past sunset.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/BARON 5-1784857772948.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p></p><h1>Sunday-Monday</h1><p>The storm fuel on Sunday and Monday looks a lot better for the next round of severe storms. With temperatures in the 90s and 100s ahead of the next front, severe weather is looking likely.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/1-1784858014872.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/1png-1784857337380.png"></p><p>The current thinking of the forecast shows a couple of rounds of strong to severe thunderstorms. The thunderstorm threat will be highest in the afternoon and evening hours, however, storms could still be strong after the sun sets. The biggest threat will likely be damaging winds and heavy rain but we will keep an eye out on the tornado threat too.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/BARON 5-1784858223296.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>

<p>Are you over the summer heat yet? Well, more impactful heat is in the forecast over the next seven days in parts of the Southwest, Northern and Southern Plains. The Weather Prediction Center's 6-10 Temperature Outlook favors most of the country in seeing above average temperatures except for the Northeast. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/1png-1784845647365.png"></p><h1>Southwest</h1><p>Extreme Heat Warnings and Advisories have been issued for parts of the Desert Southwest into Monday. Now, this region is used to seeing hot afternoons. However, the fact that overnight temperatures are only cooling off into the 90s can be dangerous at night if you don't have proper cooling sources. The very hot temperatures are expected to expand into the Northern Four Corners states of Utah and Colorado with highs approaching 100 degrees. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/1-1784846127694.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/1-1784846396913.png"></p><h1>Central U.S.</h1><p>As high pressure expands westward, the upper high also expands northward into the High Plains. In Montana, extreme heat warnings and advisories have been issued for this weekend for high temperatures exceeding over 100 degrees. The high heat will move east into the Central Plains for this weekend too before a cold front moves in early next week.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/1-1784846828775.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/1-1784846849817.png"></p><p>Lastly, for the Southern Plains the high heat sticks around for the weekend and most of next week because of high pressure.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/1-1784847018984.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/1-1784847042572.png"></p><p>For everyone across the country dealing with the intense, practice heat safety, take frequent breaks, and stay hydrated as best as you can in the days upcoming.</p>

Very Hot Temperatures For the Western and Central United States

<p>Conditions have been really dry out west. We've been tracking some major fires across the state of Oregon. With multiple fires burning in the same general region, they form complexes. We have two large ones we're tracking now with containment improvements.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot 2026-03-29 062044-1784814484684.png"></p><p>One of the biggest issues we're going to track with these fires will be the smoke. Unfortunately, upper-level winds will send this moderate to even dense smoke across the Pacific Northwest.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot 2026-03-29 062205-1784814510315.png">This smoke is expected to lower the air quality considerably across the area through the week. Red Flag warnings will be in place the next few days, so be mindful of anything that could spark a new fire over the weekend. </p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot 2026-03-29 062330-1784814589706.png"></p><p>Stay tuned to the forecast here on WeatherNation at :50 past the hour for your full Western U.S. breakdown!</p>

Another Round of Severe Weather for the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes

We now have our first hurricane of the 2018 Atlantic Hurricane Season.  Hurricane Beryl has formed and is moving towards the Lesser Antilles.  According to the National Hurricane Center, Beryl is a very compact hurricane with hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 10 miles (20 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km).  Here is the latest information.
<h2>Beryl Stats</h2>
<img class="alignnone wp-image-93634 size-full" src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2018/07/7day2-1.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />
<h2>Beryl Forecast Track</h2>
<img class="alignnone wp-image-93635 size-full" src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2018/07/7day3-1.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

Beryl should maintain category 1 strength through Saturday before wind shear helps weaken Beryl to a tropical storm.

<img class="alignnone wp-image-93636 size-full" src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2018/07/7day4-1.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

Tropical forecast models are in very good agreement of pushing this system towards the Leeward Islands.
<h2>Beryl Impacts</h2>
<img class="alignnone wp-image-93637 size-full" src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2018/07/bad-1.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

The Lesser Antilles and especially the Leeward Islands will need to be on high alert for some of the impacts that Beryl will bring.

&nbsp;

The National Hurricane Center says that hurricane watches could be required for some islands in the Lesser Antilles by Friday night.
