If it's the final weekend of the Summer for you, Mother Nature doesn't seem to want to cooperate. From rip current risks at the beaches from Ernesto, to rain chances, it might be tough to do much outdoors. This is the same system currently bringing active weather to the Plains and Midwest, with heavy rain and a risk of severe storms. The area of low-pressure responsible will move through the Great Lakes on Friday and into New England on Saturday.

Hello there. Thanks for reading this national forecast report for August 11th, 2024; there is a lot to discuss in this discussion. If you have been paying attention to the weather news recently, you may have seen that Hurricane Debby caused severe flooding in the Southeast. Well, for parts of the Carolina coast, more rainfall is expected through tomorrow, adding to the flooding situation. Moving further southwest, heat is expected to inundate parts of the Southern Plains and the Florida-Georgia border. Moving westwards now, the four corners regions should expect numerous thunderstorms, thanks to the seasonal monsoonal moisture. Looking further north, parts of the Innermountainwest are experiencing drier than average weather, leading to wildfire concerns for the region.
