NATIONAL SUMMARY
As rain from Marco continues to drench the central Gulf
Coast states tomorrow, Laura will be gaining strength over
the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Laura is expected to make
landfall as a hurricane along the Louisiana or southeastern
Texas coast at midweek. Meanwhile, a robust cold front is
forecast to spark severe thunderstorms across the Northeast,
with damaging winds and downpours being the primary threats.
In the wake of these storms, cooler, less humid air will
arrive by midweek. Heat will build across the northern
Plains and expand toward the upper Mississippi Valley, with
a few storms erupting along the northern rim of heat.
Intense heat and dry lightning dangers will persist across
the wildfire-ravaged West.
