Overview

• Parts of New York and the Southeast will see strong thunderstorms, hail, damaging winds and heavy rain.
• Central and southern Texas are expected to reach triple-digit temperatures that could break records and threaten public health.
• The severe weather is the result of a low-pressure system that will bring rain to much of the East Coast over the next couple of days.
• The extreme heat in Texas increases the possibility of wildfires that could spread rapidly.
• The rain in the Great Lakes and Northeast will provide relief from drought conditions and help clear smoke from wildfires in Canada.
