WeatherA dome of hot and humid conditions continues to sit across the eastern half of the country for Thursday. Like the last few days, we'll see scattered showers and thunderstorms along the edge of it from the southwestern Plains up through the Upper Midwest and across the northern Great Lakes. An additional boost in the strength and coverage of the storms moves through the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest, which will be a focal point for extremely strong winds and some hail. Additional showers continue to spread northward from the Gulf into the southern Midwest as the humidity becomes too much for the atmosphere to handle.
