The greatest risk of severe thunderstorms

with high wind, hail and even isolated

tornadoes will extend from the central

Appalachians to the Mid-Atlantic coast.

A weak tropical system may take shape

over the central Gulf of Mexico on its way

to the Texas coast late in the week.

Storms will dot parts of the Rockies and

deserts.

Much of the rest of the western half of

the nation will have dry weather and sun.

Heat will build from the northern Rockies

to the northern Plains.

Humid air flowing across the region will

bring an increase in cloud cover, along

with potential showers and thunderstorms

from the Jersey Shore north to the New

England beaches. Farther south, the day

will be hot and humid, with sun and thun-

derstorms in spots. Storms could be

heavy and gusty.
