The Nation's Weather for Saturday, August 13, 2022

_____

NATIONAL SUMMARY

Most of the eastern third of the nation can expect

conditions more typical of mid-September with low humidity

and cool air today. Sticky air will hold on near the Gulf

coast, where showers and thunderstorms will linger with

locally heavy rain and isolated urban flooding. A

disturbance near Texas may take on tropical characteristics

later today or tonight, before moving inland over South

Texas with heavy rain and the risk of flooding on Sunday. As

heat remains over the southern Plains, thunderstorms will

fire on the rim of the heat. Storms will drop across the

western Great Lakes. Much of the West can expect dry and

seasonable conditions. Thunderstorms are forecast to dot

areas from Arizona to eastern Idaho and western Wyoming. A

heat wave is expected to build in the Northwest next week.
