## Resource

A surge of early-season heat will build across the Southeast and mid-Atlantic this week, with some areas nearing record highs, while storms and wildfire risks complicate the forecast. Rounds of thunderstorms will bring a multi-day risk of heavy rain and severe weather to the central US, with Tuesday bringing the highest threat for damaging storms. Storms moving into the West through the early week will bring beneficial rain and mountain snow, causing difficult travel in the passes. Learn more about your ad choices.
