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.
