A potent storm system will continue moving east, putting areas from the Southeast to the Northeast at risk for severe storms on Monday.
Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop during the afternoon hours and bring the risk of strong winds, large hail and tornadoes.
Major Hurricane Dora continues to trek through the Pacific. And while the hurricane is expected to stay well south of Hawaii, forecasters have issued High Wind Watches for the Hawaiian Islands.
“The gradient between high pressure north of the main Hawaiian Islands and Hurricane Dora passing safely south of the islands may drive very strong and gusty easterly winds across the area in the coming days,” the NHC said.
Further east, Eugene continues to pull away from Baja California coast but has triggered Hurricane Warnings because of wave heights reaching up to 18 feet in the Eastern Pacific.
The heat wave that won’t end continues this week, with millions of people from California to the Carolinas under heat alerts, but further north, a cool-down will keep temperatures between 10 and 20 degrees below average.
