_____
NATIONAL SUMMARY
Most of the eastern third of the nation can expect
conditions more typical of mid-September with low humidity
and cool air today. Sticky air will hold on near the Gulf
coast, where showers and thunderstorms will linger with
locally heavy rain and isolated urban flooding. A
disturbance near Texas may take on tropical characteristics
later today or tonight, before moving inland over South
Texas with heavy rain and the risk of flooding on Sunday. As
heat remains over the southern Plains, thunderstorms will
fire on the rim of the heat. Storms will drop across the
western Great Lakes. Much of the West can expect dry and
seasonable conditions. Thunderstorms are forecast to dot
areas from Arizona to eastern Idaho and western Wyoming. A
heat wave is expected to build in the Northwest next week.
