Some areas may also experience large hail, damaging winds, and isolated tornadoes. Meanwhile, an oppressive heatwave gripping Texas is poised to spread eastward across the Southwest and Southeast, prompting excessive heat warnings and advisories.

Adding to the weather concerns, smoke originating from Canadian wildfires is projected to deteriorate air quality and visibility across the Midwest, Great Lakes, and Ohio Valley. This smoke plume is expected to drift towards the Northeast later in the week.
