North – Severe storms are expected in Northern states from Pennsylvania to Connecticut and from West Virginia to North Carolina. Maine will have sunny weather on July 4th, but will have cloudy and rainy weather for the rest of the week. Storms in the North will not last all day and there will be pop up thunderstorms.

Midwest – States from South Dakota to Ohio can expect severe thunderstorms for today. Be prepared for heavy rain and damaging winds and potential tornadoes.

Northwest – A volcano in Alaska just erupted and is growing very fast. The Bogoslof volcano created its own Island, and grew three times its size in only 4 months. The volcano is not expected to reach mainland, but it is 850 miles Southwest of Anchorage. The ash clouds are reaching 20,000 feet which will delay or cancel flights between Asia and North America, and may cause potential harm to airliners.
