Originally Published by: Flash flood threat expands across Central, Southern US after inches of torrential rain Tropical Storm Cristina nears El Salvador, bringing heavy rain and flood risks Hottest temperatures of the year set to roast more than 100M across East Coast cities A multiday severe weather threat is expected to intensify Wednesday, affecting more than 135 million people across the Midwest and Northeast through Thursday, with storms capable of producing large hail, damaging wind gusts, and tornadoes. A large dip in the jet stream is now positioned over the Midwest, helping trigger daily thunderstorms as it slowly moves eastward through the week. Dew points in the 50s and low 60s, paired with strong daytime heating, will help fuel all modes of severe weather, while also raising the risk of localized flash flooding.
