Severe storms threaten the East for Fourth of July holiday travel

Americans in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Ohio, Mississippi, Missouri and one county in North Carolina were under a severe thunderstorm watch through the evening, according to meteorologists.

The overall risk zone for severe thunderstorms stretched from Arkansas to New Jersey, as several clusters of storms were expected to flare up as the afternoon progressed into the evening. Chicago saw more rain Sunday than throughout the months of May and June combined, meteorologists said. The Midway Airport picked up nearly four inches of rain on Sunday.

The southwest won’t see a cooldown anytime soon, meteorologists said. The 7-day forecast in Phoenix, Arizona, is calling for temperatures above 110 degrees every day next week, with temperatures on Monday expected to reach 115 degrees.
