A series of severe thunderstorms and heavy rain are expected to hit several U.S. regions this coming weekend, followed by a significant increase in temperatures.

預計本週末美國多個地區將受到一系列嚴重雷暴與強降雨襲擊，隨後氣溫將顯著上升。

Weather patterns suggest that unstable conditions will move across the country in stages. Initially, storms will affect a corridor from Colorado and Wyoming through New Mexico, Kansas, Kentucky, and Tennessee, with wind gusts between 60 and 70 mph and the possibility of tornadoes. At the same time, the Mid-Atlantic region, including New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina, will likely experience similar activity. By Saturday, the storms will move toward Virginia and Georgia, before shifting south on Sunday to cover Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and the Carolinas.

天氣模式顯示，不穩定狀態將分階段橫跨全國。起初，風暴將影響從科羅拉多州和懷俄明州經過新墨西哥州、堪薩斯州、肯塔基州和田納西州的走廊，陣風時速介於 60 至 70 英里，並有可能出現龍捲風。與此同時，包括紐澤西州、賓夕法尼亞州和北卡羅萊納州在內的中大西洋地區，可能也會經歷類似情況。到週六，風暴將移向維吉尼亞州和喬治亞州，隨後於週日向南移，覆蓋路易斯安那州、密西西比州、阿拉巴馬州和卡羅來納兩州。

Experts emphasize the high risk of flash flooding, especially in cities where concrete surfaces prevent water from soaking into the ground. Consequently, the National Weather Service has issued flood warnings for several states, such as Iowa, Missouri, and Colorado. In Middle Tennessee, the risk is even higher because the soil is already soaked. For example, Davidson County is under a flash flood warning, as an additional 3 to 5 inches of rain are expected. Officials in Nashville asserted that storms on July 11 may be more intense than previous ones.

專家強調山洪爆發的風險很高，尤其是在水泥路面導致水分無法滲入地底的城市。因此，國家氣象局已向愛荷華州、密蘇里州和科羅拉多州等數個州發布洪水警告。在田納西州中部，由於土壤已經飽和，風險更高。例如，戴維森郡目前處於山洪警告狀態，預計將增加 3 至 5 英寸的雨量。納什維爾的官員聲稱，7 月 11 日的風暴可能會比之前更劇烈。

Once the rain stops, a high-pressure system is expected to arrive. This will create a 'heat dome,' which is projected to push temperatures up to 115 degrees Fahrenheit across the Midwest and East, returning the region to extreme heat.

一旦雨停，預計將有一個高壓系統到達。這將形成一個「熱穹頂」，預計會將中西部和東部的氣溫推高至華氏 115 度，使該地區恢復到極端高溫狀態。

The United States will experience a sequence of severe storms and flooding risks over the weekend, which will then transition into a period of extreme heat.

美國將在週末經歷一系列嚴重風暴與洪水風險，隨後將過渡到極端高溫時期。
