By Sunday, the front will push closer to the I-95 corridor,focusing the chance for thunderstorms (some severe per the StormPrediction Center) toward the coast in the Northeast, but also into theMid-Atlantic and central/southern Appalachians. Isolated flash flooding ispossible in some areas that experience heavier rainfall in a short amountof time. Farther south, the frontal boundary will slip into the Mid-Southand TN Valley, with scattered showers and thunderstorms on Sunday. Fartherwest, tail-end of the same frontal boundary will help fire off mainlyafternoon showers and storms over the Four Corners region and across muchof the Rockies. Flash flooding is possible in some areas, especially inmore sensitive regions with steep terrain.Over the northern Rockies, a system will bring an expanding area of rainand thunderstorms tonight into Sunday, moving into eastern Montana wheresome severe weather is possible. By late Sunday into Monday, potentiallyheavier rainfall will push into the Upper Midwest/Corn Belt where FlashFlooding will be possible over areas that have seen well above normalrainfall recently. Isolated flash, urban, and small stream flooding alongwith new and renewed river rises are possible per the National WaterCenter.Temperatures will be quite variable across the Lower 48 over the next twodays. Much of the northern tier -- from the northern Plains eastward tothe Great Lakes -- will see below normal temperatures on Sunday intoMonday with highs generally only in the 70s. Ahead of the front to theeast, warm/hot temperatures in the 80s/90s on Sunday near the East Coastwill be replaced by 70s/80s on Monday. The hottest temperatures will belocated over much of the southern Plains to the Southeast, as well as intothe Desert Southwest. Though daytime maximum temperatures may not breakdaily records, overnight low temperatures will remain quite warm (only inthe 70s to around 80 degrees) due to high levels of humidity. This will bereflected during the day by high heat indices in the low 100s.
