The primary risks include damaging wind gusts, localized hail, and heavy rainfall, which could lead to flash flooding in some areas. Southeastern Arizona faces a heightened risk of microbursts, while the Texas Panhandle and western Oklahoma may experience isolated severe wind gusts. The Midwest, particularly Missouri and Illinois, could see storms fueled by a stationary front. Wildfire smoke in the Pacific Northwest poses health risks, especially for sensitive groups such as children and individuals with respiratory conditions.
