The northeast faces life-threatening flash flooding, with up to 12 inches (30 cm) of rain forecast in some areas, including western Connecticut and Massachusetts. Floodwaters have trapped vehicles and prompted high-water rescues, while power outages and flight cancellations add to the disruption. In the south, extreme heat poses significant health risks, particularly for those without access to cooling or hydration. The southwest's record-breaking temperatures and gusty winds elevate wildfire risks, threatening communities from California to Oregon. Tornado activity in Wisconsin has already caused injuries and property damage.
