The Midwest and Northeast United States are bracing for more rounds of intense storms in the coming days.
Since last week, these regions have been experiencing almost daily torrential rains and damaging thunderstorms.
Meteorologists warn that this pattern will continue until early next week.
According to reports, the heat in the East and cold conditions in the West will shift before the end of the month.
WHERE WILL MORE INTENSE STORMS OCCUR?
This will create more opportunities for severe storms from the Upper Midwest to the Northeast during this transition.
“The front, with its much-needed relief from warm and humid weather, will stretch across the Northeast until Monday,” said meteorologist Brandon Buckingham from AccuWeather.

However, this relief came with a strong risk of intense storms until Sunday night.
Parts of New England and upstate New York could face an elevated risk of tornadoes until Sunday night.
Moreover, from Maine to Kentucky, more than one round of thunderstorms could impact the area to close out the weekend.
It was recommended that anyone spending time outdoors closely monitor the sky to be aware of the forecasted start and stop times of rain and thunderstorms in their location.
Buckingham explained that the storms would form along a boundary that separates hot, humid air from less humid conditions, intensifying their impact.
In the strongest storms, damaging wind gusts, hail, and some tornadoes can be expected.
Motorists traveling on Interstates 29, 35, 90, and 94 should be prepared to face thunderstorms with strong winds, destructive hail, and a risk of tornadoes.
These conditions can reduce visibility and increase the risk of hydroplaning, leading to slower travel times.
As the front moves southeast, the risk of severe thunderstorms will increase, according to AccuWeather.
On Tuesday, localized intense storms can occur from the Great Lakes region to the Central Plains, affecting densely populated cities like Chicago and Detroit.
