T​emperatures are also continuing to fall for Labor Day in the Northwest, but their cooldown comes without any thunderstorms or major strings attached.

Thunderstorms could cause delays for holiday travelers from heavy rain and strong winds.

T​he Gulf Coast of Texas and Louisiana should be on the lookout for flash flooding as tropical moisture is brought northward to coastal regions.

M​onday is also expected to be the coolest day of the weekend across the country thanks to the cold front pushing the record heat out of the eastern U.S. and a pattern change bringing cooler air to the Pacific Northwest.

H​ighs in the Midwest have fallen from the mid- to upper 80s to the mid-70s over the course of the weekend, and Portland, Oregon, could see a high in the low 70s on Monday in comparison to the upper 90s measured on Sunday.
