The Nation's Weather for Saturday, July 10, 2021

NATIONAL SUMMARY

In the wake of Elsa, a non-tropical storm system is forecast

to produce a zone of rain and thunderstorms in New England

with spotty storms trailing as far to the south as the

Florida Peninsula today. Farther west, the combination of a

developing dip in the jet stream and a stalled front will

cause an area of heavy, gusty and severe thunderstorms to

expand from the northern and central Plains to the Midwest.

Within this zone, there is the potential for flash flooding,

as well as strong wind gusts, hail and isolated tornadoes.

Farther south, an area of showers and thunderstorms that has

lingered in southeastern Texas and Louisiana is forecast to

slowly dwindle over the weekend. Meanwhile, much of the West

is forecast to remain dry, sunny and very hot. Only the

immediate Pacific coast will be cool due to a sea breeze.
