It is expected that strong and potentially destructive thunderstorms this weekend parts of the Midwest, Central Plains and Southeast will pummel this weekend, with heavy rainfall and floods in the next few days.
Early rain and powerful gusts of wind on Saturday left more than 50,000 people without electricity in Nebraska, according to Poweroutage.us. According to the National Weather Service, more difficult weather can be on the road.
The agency predicts “countless nocturnal thunderstorms” in parts of the midwest until the weekend and until Monday.
According to the National Weather Service, clusters from strong to severe thunderstorms, especially in the night hours, can drop “very heavy rain” along a corridor that extends from Noord -Missouri through South -iowa and to the Southwish Consin.
“Hournly Rain is 2.5”, along with multi-day rain totals locally up to 9 “,” said the office on Saturday in his short-distance speech discussion.
As such, there are threats of dangerous floods in the region.
In the southeast, Stormen were able to develop this weekend and linger over North Florida and South georgia, causing heavy rainfall to be fueled over the area.
“Conducted daily rounds of heavy rainfall on saturated land will bring a localized flood risk throughout the weekend, especially in the coast of Southeast -Georgia,” said the local branch of the NWS in Jacksonville, Florida, in his weekend forecast.
In Central and South Florida, countless showers and slowly moving storms can be able to produce harmful wind and heavy rain showers, the NWS said.
In the meantime, the southwest continues to swell through record -breaking heat. Temperatures far into the triple figures were widespread in Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico. Phoenix reached 118 degrees Fahrenheit on Thursday and set a new daily and monthly record for the city.

Although the weekend temperatures in Arizona and other parts of the Southwest desert are expected to be less intense than in recent days, the NWS said that high temperatures that are approaching or from 110 degrees F are still possible.
In Albuquerque, the high temperature of Friday reached 101 degrees F and defeated the previous record of the city of 98 degrees F that according to the NWS was determined in 2011.
