The Nation's Weather for Sunday, July 11, 2021

_____

NATIONAL SUMMARY

Record heat will continue to build across the interior West

today, and smoke from wildfires can lead to poor air

quality. Time spent outside should be limited in the extreme

heat. There will also be an elevated fire risk due to dry

vegetation. Late-day thunderstorms are expected to produce

damaging wind gusts and dust storms across southern New

Mexico. Showers and thunderstorms will also overspread much

of the eastern half of the nation as a potent storm moves

into the Ohio Valley. Thunderstorms from northern Louisiana

to southwestern Tennessee can bring hail and damaging winds,

while storms from western Tennessee through Lake Erie can

bring torrential downpours, damaging wind gusts and even an

isolated tornado. High humidity will rule the mid-Atlantic

and South Central today.
