[Music] 0:06 Hello, you're watching it's tomorrow 0:07 news. I am R. Sriram. Heat wave expected 0:11 to shatter records across central US. 0:14 A prolonged heat wave is building across 0:16 much of the central United States this 0:18 week with temperatures forecast to soar 0:21 15 to 20° above average for 0:23 midepptember. 0:25 Some areas could set new records through 0:27 midweek. Officials recently unveiled a 0:30 ultraviolet resistance sculpture 0:32 designed to lower temperatures 0:33 underneath as part of the Sombra 0:36 experiments in shade project. 0:38 Forecasters say the heat wave will 0:40 worsen drought conditions affecting 0:42 rivers and water levels in Mississippi. 0:45 By Tuesday, strong to severe storms are 0:47 possible across portions of the central 0:49 plains, including much of Nebraska, as 0:52 well as parts of Ka and Colorado. 0:54 According to the Storm Prediction 0:56 Center, the storm threat has renewed 0:59 concerns about wildfire danger near 1:01 Arvvada, Colorado, where a house fire 1:04 spread into nearby grasslands last week. 1:07 Forecasters say thunderstorms will 1:09 remain isolated, but could bring heavy 1:11 rain, damaging winds and hail. Later 1:14 this week, temperatures are expected to 1:17 ease as the jetream dips across the 1:19 western US. That shift could also 1:22 channel tropical moisture from the 1:23 Pacific Ocean into the Southwest, 1:26 raising the risk of heavy rainfall. In 1:28 California, a dry storm last week 1:31 produced more than 16,000 lightning 1:33 strikes, sparking nearly two dozen 1:35 wildfires across the Sierra Nevada 1:38 region and forcing evacuations. 1:41 Scattered thunderstorms swept across 1:43 parts of the Western Plains on Saturday 1:45 afternoon, bringing the potential for 1:47 flash flooding in some pockets. 1:50 The rain is a result of what's known as 1:52 monsunal flow which continues to draw 1:55 ample moisture from the Gulf and the 1:57 Pacific. 1:58 A level two or four threat for excessive 2:01 rainfall is in place for parts of 2:03 eastern New Mexico and western Texas due 2:06 to rainfall rates of 1 to2 in per hour 2:08 possible in the heaviest storms. A flood 2:11 watch is also in effect for Ruidoso, New 2:14 Mexico, where there is an elevated risk 2:17 of flash flooding due to wildfire burn 2:19 scare areas. 2:21 If heavy rain impacts that area, flash 2:24 flooding could quickly develop. 2:25 Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms 2:27 are possible in parts of New Mexico and 2:30 Colorado on Saturday evening, bringing 2:32 the threat of damaging winds and large 2:34 hail. Earlier parts of the high plains 2:38 saw spotty storms on Friday, one of 2:40 which produced a weak visible tornado in 2:43 a very rural part of northwest north. 2:45 Scattered storms are possible for parts 2:47 of the Midwest as well. Today from 2:50 Wisconsin down to Indiana, including 2:53 Milwaukee and Chicago, where one to two 2:55 ines with the heaviest storms could 2:57 produce spotty flash flooding. 3:00 These storms in the Midwest are not 3:02 associated with monsunal moisture and 3:04 will fire up from an unrelated front in 3:06 the area. 3:08 That's all for now.
