A storm system is moving across the country, bringing a chance for more severe storms from New Mexico all the way to the Northeast.
Severe storms brought flash flooding near Washington, D.C.Damaging winds near 60 mph were reported near Richmond, Virginia, where trees fell on cars and a gas station was destroyed.
In the Midwest, more than a half a foot of rain fell in parts of Iowa and produced flash flooding there. Severe storms could also develop all along the Gulf Coast from Houston to New Orleans as well as in the Northeast from Virginia to Pennsylvania and western New York where some of these thunderstorms could become severe with damaging winds being the biggest threat.
The heaviest rain over the next two days will be in eastern Texas and along the Gulf Coast where some areas could see more than 5 inches of rain bringing with it possible areas of flash flooding. This heat and localized gusty winds are making firefighting difficult, especially in the Tucson area where the Bighorn Fire is now 58,553 acres and 33% contained.
