In the rains wake are widely separated showers and thunderstorms, also capable of producing flooding downpours. Wet weather is also occurring in the Pacific Northwest currently. It has been raining on and off in Seattle since yesterday morning and Portland since this morning. Rainfall in Seattle over the last 48 hours already is within a few hundredths of an inch. The potential for flooding will continue through tonight, although the rain will lessen in coverage and intensity tonight as the front moves inland.
High pressure is situated across most of the eastern third of the nation.
As a result, it is a very warm, but not all that humid day across the Carolinas with plenty of sunshine. High will be generally in the 80s, but some 90s will show up farther south. Texas continues to bake with triple and the Desert Southwest is having typical summertime heat as well. Right along the coast, the rain has been the heaviest. Some regions received over an inch of rainfall yesterday.
