It’s stormy and steamy in the Northeast today as a frontal system sweeps through while downright blistering Out West with potential monsoonal thunderstorms spreading out of Mexico into Arizona, Nevada and Utah.

Moist air takes up the entire southern and eastern US stretching from Desert to New England.

Frontal energy sliding east is lifting warm, humid air north up the Eastern coastal plain and is triggering showers and storms today.

Sultry day from Arizona to Maine… plenty of t-storm fuel!

Severe weather, mainly of damaging wind and hail is likely.

Any rain is welcome rain in the Northeast.

Temps climb over the East once the front and atmosphere clears out today.

It’s warm in the Northeast but downright HOT in the Southwest with once again 110s for Phoenix, 120s in Death Valley. It reached 124 there yesterday but factor in 60-degree dew points, it feels very unpleasant in Arizona in particular.

Temps rise once the front and atmosphere clears out over the Northeast while the thermostat drops some in the Southwest.
