Central U.S. Flooding Triggers Water Rescues as Heat Builds; Red Flag Warnings Span the Southwest; CISA Flags Two Actively Exploited Vulnerabilities

Northern Plains tornado and flooding threat persists; Mid-Atlantic and Northeast heat builds; CISA adds two exploited vulnerabilities and Southwest Red Flag Warnings spread.

Today’s brief covers a continuing severe weather and flash flooding threat across the northern and central Plains, a Tornado Watch reaching from North Dakota into northwestern Minnesota, and building hazardous heat from the Mid-Atlantic into the Northeast with a New York City Heat Advisory. We track the national fire picture at Preparedness Level 2 with 11 uncontained large fires, Red Flag Warnings across the Southwest, and the Seven Cabins Fire holding at 94 percent containment. We also note two new CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities, three industrial control systems advisories, a paused Kilauea eruption, and FEMA assistance deadlines in Washington and Hawaii.

Central U.S. Flooding Triggers Water Rescues as Heat Builds; Red Flag Warnings Span the Southwest; CISA Flags Two Actively Exploited Vulnerabilities

A slow-moving storm system drove roughly two dozen flash floods and water rescues across Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma on June 8, with flood watches stretching into the Tennessee Valley and severe storms threatening the central Plains. Heat advisories take hold June 9 across parts of the Mid-South as a broader heat wave builds. Red Flag Warnings cover southern Nevada, northwestern Arizona, and much of Utah, with the national preparedness level at 2 and six uncontained large fires burning. CISA added two actively exploited vulnerabilities, in BerriAI LiteLLM and Check Point Security Gateway, to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. State updates include the Sorrento Fire evacuations in San Diego, a command transition on New Mexico’s Seven Cabins Fire, and a lifted boil water advisory in West Columbia, South Carolina.
