NEW YORK — Potentially deadly weather conditions are affecting millions of Americans from coast to coast.
Extreme heat, poor air quality and severe storms bringing flash flooding threats will be plaguing regions all over the country on Sunday.
It has been the hottest first two weeks of July on record for Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona, as well as on the other side of the country in Tampa, Fort Myers and Key West, Florida. Elsewhere in the country, daily record-high temperatures are expected to be broken in at least 38 cities from Oregon to Florida, including cities in California like Palm Springs, Fresno and Sacramento; cities in Arizona from Flagstaff, Phoenix and Tucson; Las Vegas and Reno in Nevada; El Paso, Houston, Austin and Corpus Christi in Texas; and Salt Lake City.
The smoke that has been over the upper Midwest the last couple of days is about to make a push eastward as 900 wildfires continue to burn in Canada, the vast majority in British Columbia. More than half of the fires in Canada are characterized as “out of control.”On Monday at 7 a.m. ET, the smoke will still be heavy from Montana to Nebraska, while the eastern plume of heavy smoke reaches along the East from western New York to the Smoky Mountains and Asheville, North Carolina.
The influx of precipitation is a continuation of flash flooding conditions that plagued the region on Saturday. More than 3 inches of rain fell in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, which caused flash flooding and killed at least three people.
