...More active weather across the mid sections of the nation, with
additional rounds of thunderstorms, heavy rains, flash flooding
and severe weather...

...Heat to continue across Southwest to South Texas and much of
Florida, while building across the inland valleys of California...

...Cooler than average temperatures for the Plains and large
portions of the eastern U.S...

No let up to the recent very active weather pattern across the mid
section of the nation over the next few days.  Heavy rains, flash
flooding and severe weather that has been focusing across the
Southern Plains over the past two days will be re-focusing farther
to the north Wednesday evening across the Northern to Central High
Plains ahead of a strong cold front pushing eastward across this
area.   This thunderstorm activity has the potential to produce
severe weather, heavy rains and isolated flash flooding overnight
into early Thursday across the Northern to Central High Plains as
the thunderstorms push eastward.  By late Thursday afternoon,
strong southern stream mid to upper level disturbances are
expected to push into the Southern Plains, initiating another
round of active and potentially impactful thunderstorms.
Additional heavy rains, flash flooding and severe weather are
possible across a large portion of the Southern Plains from North
Texas, across much of Oklahoma, Kansas, southern Nebraska and
eastern Colorado.

No big changes expected to the recent heat across Southwest to
South Texas and across much of Florida, with much above average
temperatures expected to persist across these regions over the
next few days.  There will continue to be the potential for record
high afternoon temperatures across portions of central to
Southwest Florida Thursday and Friday along with record high
morning low temperatures across the Florida Keys Thursday and
Friday mornings.  Hot temperatures also expected to be expanding
across the interior valleys of California over the next two days
with high temperatures reaching the middle to upper 90s.  These
temperatures, however, will remain below record values for these
dates.  In contrast to the above mentioned hot temperatures,
cooler than average temperatures are forecast across much of the
Plains due to the ongoing wet weather and cloud cover.  Cooler
than average temperatures are also expected to persist large
portions of the eastern U.S. from the Lower Lakes, through the
Appalachians, Mid-Atlantic and Southeast.
