Severe thunderstorms which can bring large hail, damaging winds, and isolated tornadoes will be possible over parts of the central U.S. through this weekend.
Thunderstorms with heavy to excessive rainfall moving from Texas into the mid-Mississippi Valley through this weekend may produce areas of flooding.

Scattered severe thunderstorms capable of large to very large hail, damaging winds with potentially significant gusts, and perhaps a couple of tornadoes are expected Friday afternoon into night across portions of the central Plains into upper Great Lakes. Thunderstorms with heavy to excessive rainfall may produce flooding over a part of the Midwest Friday. https://t.co/qk3BcVP5M8

.@NOAA experts say the record-breaking fourth global #CoralBleaching event likely ended in mid-2025 after heat stress impacted 84% of the world’s #CoralReef areas. Scientists are now studying reefs that showed signs of resilience despite the extreme heat exposure.
Although this event appears to have subsided, global heat stress still persists as ocean temperatures remain unusually warm. NOAA is forecasting continued bleaching risks for this summer and fall in the Northern Hemisphere.
