NATIONAL SUMMARY
Heavy thunderstorms tomorrow will tap into ample moisture
over the region and lead to a risk for flooding across

severe thunderstorms across Minnesota and Wisconsin. The
main hazards associated with these storms will be damaging
winds, flooding downpours and even isolated tornadoes.
Monsoonal thunderstorms will erupt across the Southwest,
leading to a localized flash flood threat. Parts of northern
New England will be wet as well with periods of showers. The
Pacific Northwest will continue to be gripped by dangerous
heat. Portland, Oregon, will approach triple digits, while
