The East Coast is going to get a break from the heat this weekend. In the meantime, temperatures will be in the 90s to just over 100 and the humidity will be high. A cold front will plow from the Great Lakes across the East Coast Saturday, chopping a solid 15 degrees off the temperature - and smack the area with some severe weather. But the break will be short-lived as the extreme heat returns by Wednesday, July 14.
Heavy rain will be problem over the lower Mississippi River Valley today through early Thursday. Louisiana and south Arkansas may wind up having the biggest issues with flooding.
The western U.S. will heat up and the risk of wildfires will increase through the next couple of weeks. The heat will spread eastward across the Plains by next Tuesday and then reach the East Coast 24 to 48 hours later - Wednesday and Thursday. Temperatures will be in the 90s, slopping over to the low 100s over most of the country, except for the Pacific Northwest and the northern Rockies where it will be considerably cooler.
The 3rd week of July is typically the hottest of the year and this year will be no exception.
