derek van dam, what is the latest?'re following three major weather stories across the u.s., nask namely the pacific heatwave and also the flash flood threat and potential of severe weather. here it is, a moderate risk of flash flooding across northern missouri, portions of nebraska, and into the kansas region. we have a slight risk of flash flooding extended all the way to just outside of the chicago suburbs. rainfall accumulation really loading up, 4 to 6 inches locally, maybe even higher amounts for some of those slow moving thunderstorms that produce the heftier rainfall totals. and so enhanced risk of severe weather across kansas and nebraska, damagingwinds, large hail. and it is looking like a christmastime radar here, a lot of colors, but the point to take from this is that the storms will be moving over the same location hence our floor flood potential across the area. the other big story, the heat building across the pacific northwest. we're flertingflirting with all record heat. we've already tied or broke ov

our derek van dam is standing by to give us the news on this. e forecast? >> yeah, it's difficult because the search and rescue crews have already been halted at some stage during this process. friday morning, a hit or miss thundershower moved through the region. obviously search and rescue crews can work through rain but they can't work through lightning. that poses all kinds of hazards for people on the ground, not to mention the gusty winds from thunderstorms that do move through during this kind of summertime environment that we have across southeast florida just north of the miami beach region. the gusty winds that are associated with these thunderstorms that move onshore could potentially knock down debris that still standing on the structure that remains. so that obviously is a concern for the search and rescue crews on the ground. i want to show you current conditions. 78 degrees. this is indicating mostly clear skies. you can see the easterly winds at 5 miles per hour. i want to get in hyper local because we have the ability to do that w

we're going to bring in meteorologist derek van dam who's been following all of this quite closely.it's so difficult for the people who live there as well. this is a part of america that doesn't have air conditioning. it doesn't have the usual means to cool itself do you know. when you start talking about record temperatures, even on the overnight minimums, you have problems. when temperatures don't drop below 75 degrees, your body doesn't allow yourself to cool down overnight when it normally does to readjust the heat. these are all-time june record highs. you can see them from portland all the way to hillsboro, oregon. then when we talk about seattle, a large population density. they set a daily and record high of 102. this is an interesting thing for the mt. rainier national park service. that's the mountain in the distance from the city of seattle. they said that the freezing level if you go up in the altitude of the earth, 18,000 feet up, that's where the freezing level is. it's not 2340r78ly that high. the water and the ice is melting significantly faster than it normally woul
