 To the north, rain in
upper New England will wind down by Thursday afternoon as the low pressure system over Maine lifts slowly into southeastern Canada.
In the Midwest, the frontal system extending across the upper Midwest will advance eastward and reach across the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley through the
central Plains. Showers and thunderstorms are anticipated along and ahead of this front as the disturbance progresses. Thunderstorms are also expected along the tail of this disturbance in the
central Plains and central High Plains through the evening.
Meanwhile, areas from the Ohio Valley and southern Upper Great Lakes through the
central and southern Plains will remain hot Thursday, with temperatures reaching near and past the century mark. Residents are encouraged to take proper precautions against the heat and follow local
heat advisories and excessive heat warnings.
To the west of this activity, monsoon moisture will spread across the Southwest and the
central Rockies and create chances of showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon.
Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Wednesday ranged from a morning low of 23 degrees at Stanley, Idaho, to a high of 113 degrees at Hill City, Kan.
