A significant weather shift, known as the "death Ridge," is expected to occur in the US, bringing severe weather, heavy rain, and potentially tornadoes. A large high-pressure ridge will block storms from entering the plains, leading to a severe weather outbreak in the central and eastern US, particularly in the Midwest.
The severe weather events are expected to start on Tuesday, with a chance of scattered showers and storms across the central and eastern US. On Wednesday, the storms will intensify, with a higher risk of severe weather, including large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes.
By Thursday, a dry line event will occur, with a sharp boundary between dry and moist air, leading to an increased risk of severe weather, including tornadoes. The storms will continue into Friday, with a slight risk of severe weather, before diminishing over the weekend.
The "death Ridge" will also lead to a heatwave, with temperatures reaching up to 30 degrees above average in the western US. The weather pattern is expected to play a significant role in the weather as we go into next week, with a chance for quieter weather in some areas battered by heavy rain recently.
