The Nation's Weather for Wednesday, August 23, 2023

_____

NATIONAL SUMMARY

A massive area of high pressure, or heat dome, will combine

high temperatures near 100 with high humidity levels to make

for dangerous conditions over much of the central United

States today. Severe thunderstorms will occur from southern

Michigan to western Maryland and West Virginia. The main

threats from the storms will be strong wind gusts and hail.

A batch of cool air with low humidity will remain in the

Northeast as hot and humid air is pushed out of the

Carolinas. Downpours from Tropical Rainstorm Harold will

extend northwestward across the Rio Grande Valley. Spotty

thunderstorms will extend from Arizona to Idaho and Montana

as much of the Pacific Coast states can expect sunshine. Dry

weather will continue to greet areas that were hit hard by

Hilary's torrential rain and flooding.
