How’s the Weekend Ending? Sunday Forecast's In
Published Jul 27, 2025
Strong storms from Maine to Kentucky may trigger flash flooding and damaging winds today, with scattered storms in Texas, the Plains, Florida, and New Mexico. Most other areas stay dry. Heat builds east of the Rockies, running 5–10°F above normal. The West remains sunny and seasonable, but fire danger is high from Arizona to Utah due to wind and dry brush.
Mixed conditions from thunderstorms to pleasant temperatures
As the weekend draws to a close, let's take a look at what Sunday's weather has in store across the United States. Be prepared for a mixed bag of conditions, ranging from severe thunderstorms to elevated wildfire risks and pleasant temperatures.
Eastern U.S. at risk for thunderstorms
A significant portion of the eastern U.S. is under the gun for strong thunderstorms. Stretching from Maine all the way down to Kentucky, these storms pose a risk of flash flooding due to heavy rainfall. In addition, isolated damaging wind gusts are possible, so residents should secure outdoor objects and be prepared to take shelter if necessary.
Isolated storms in Texas, Montana, Minnesota
Isolated thunderstorms aren't just confined to the East Coast. Southeastern Texas may also experience a few pop-up storms during the day. Later, as the day progresses and into the night, a line of storms is expected to develop and move from Montana through Minnesota. Residents in these areas should stay alert for changing weather conditions.
Much of the country will be dry
Aside from scattered afternoon storms in parts of New Mexico and Florida, much of the country will enjoy dry weather on Sunday.
Temperatures rising east of the Rockies
Temperatures will be on the rise east of the Rockies, with readings expected to climb 5 to 10 degrees above normal for this time of year. This means warmer-than-usual conditions for many across the central and eastern states.
Sunny and comfortable in the West
In stark contrast, the western U.S. will bask in sunny skies and comfortable conditions. Temperatures will be close to seasonal averages, with highs along the Pacific Coast hovering near a pleasant 70 degrees. It's a perfect day for outdoor activities in the West.
Elevated wildfire risk from Arizona to Utah
However, even in the West, there's a weather-related concern. From Arizona to Utah, dry vegetation combined with gusty winds will create an elevated wildfire danger. Residents and visitors in these areas should exercise extreme caution with any potential ignition sources, such as campfires or machinery.
Varied weather, stay informed and take precautions
In summary, Sunday's weather across the U.S. will be quite varied. Stay informed about the specific forecast for your area and take necessary precautions to stay safe and comfortable.
