The Nation's Weather for Saturday, August 17, 2024

_____

NATIONAL SUMMARY

Thunderstorms can bring flooding downpours and localized

damaging wind gusts from eastern Arkansas and northern

portions of Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia northward to

southwestern New York tomorrow. Any thunderstorm in Utah and

parts of Arizona could produce flash flooding. Much-needed

rain will fall in western and central Washington and Oregon

and northwestern California. No rain is expected just to the

east, and gusty winds and excessively dry weather will

result in a high fire threat. Smoke from distant wildfires

can cause reduced air quality and hazy skies in northwestern

Minnesota. Although Hurricane Ernesto will be well offshore,

unusually rough surf and rip current will affect East Coast

beaches from southern New England to Florida. Those

conditions will expand northward later in the weekend.
