The surface map from this morning reveals significant smoke across the eastern regions of the country, primarily caused by forest fires in Western Canada. This smoke is impacting areas from the Plains all the way to the East Coast. Although the Northeast hasn't yet experienced the smoke, it will likely arrive later this week. A low-pressure system moving through the Northern Plains today will trigger severe thunderstorms in the High Plains of Nebraska and Kansas, potentially producing damaging winds, large hail, and even a few tornadoes. Meanwhile, unsettled weather will persist in the Four Corners region as an upper-level low brings more showers and thunderstorms today. The eastern part of the country will finally start enjoying more summer-like temperatures this week! ☀️🌧️ #SmokeAlert #ForestFires #EasternRegions #WeatherUpdate #SevereThunderstorms #NebraskaWeather #KansasWeather #TornadoWatch #SummerTemperatures #FourCornersWeather #WeatherForecast #ClimateChange #StaySafe #NatureWeather 🌩️🌪️☀️
