The combination of heat, humidity, light winds and sunshine will make it feel like the temperature is over 100 in many areas. Steamy air and a stalled front will fuel locally drench- ing thunderstorms from Florida to part of the interior South. As a cool front slices into the hot and humid air, showers and locally heavy, gusty thunderstorms will stretch from the northern Texas Panhandle to Michigan. The northern Plains will be windy and cool.

On a violent day, Turkish fighter jets pounded rebels from the Kurdistan Work- ers Party, or PKK after sol- diers were fired on with heavy weaponry in Sirnak province, according to a military statement. Turk- ish soldiers also came un- der attack in two other in- cidents. Meanwhile, NATO allies met in a rare emergency meeting at Turkey's request and proclaimed "strong sol- idarity" with the country's fight against the Islamic State group. "The security of the alli- ance is indivisible," ambas- sadors from all 28 NATO nations declared in a joint statement after the meet- ing. But a NATO official said members also used the closed-door meeting to call on Turkey not to use exces- sive force in reaction to ter- ror attacks, while urging it to continue peace efforts with representatives of the Kurdish minority. The offi- cial was not authorized to speak on the record and spoke on condition of ano- nymity. The special session of the alliance's main politi- cal decision-making body, the North Atlantic Coun- cil, was held at Turkey's re- quest under a clause of NA- TO's founding treaty that empowers member coun- tries to seek consultations if they believe their security, territorial integrity or polit- ical independence is at risk. It was called after Turk- ish warplanes last week started striking militant targets in Syria in response to an Islamic State group suicide bombing in south- ern Turkey that left 32 peo- ple dead, and another IS attack on Turkish forces, which killed a soldier. But in a series of cross- border strikes, Turkey has also targeted Kurdish fight- ers affiliated with forces battling IS in Syria and Iraq. The Syrian Kurds have been among the most ef- fective ground forces in the fight against IS and have been backed by U.S.-led air- strikes, but Turkey fears a revival of the Kurdish in- surgency in pursuit of an independent state. The spike in violence in recent days has prompted concerns that a promising peace process between Tur- key and Kurdish rebels is falling beyond repair. German diplomats said Tuesday it would be a mis- take for Turkey to break off the peace process with the PKK now. "We believe that it's right to continue the process of rapprochement and to build on the positive steps of the past years," a diplomat said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue. As the ambassadors were gathering at NATO head- quarters, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told a news conference in An- kara that it was impossible to advance a peace process with the Kurds as long as attacks on Turkey continue. The Kurds are an eth- nic group with their own language living in a region spanning present-day Tur- key, Iraq, Syria, Iran and Armenia. The Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, has fought Turkey for autonomy for Kurds in a conflict that has claimed tens of thousands of lives since 1984. In the past few days, the PKK has launched a num- ber of attacks on Turkish security forces and Turkish jets have targeted both the PKK's mountainous head- quarters in Iraq and Kurd- ish fighters in a Syrian vil- lage, a Kurdish militia and an activist group said. On Tuesday, a Turkish soldier died after he was shot in the head by a Kurd- ish militant near the border with Iraq, Turkey said.
