Most clouds and showers will retreat to northern New England. Much of the Southeastern states will remain cooler than average with low humidity. An exception will be part of the Florida Peninsula, where humid air and tropical downpours will linger. A heat wave is forecast to unfold over much of the Central states with highs in the 90s in many areas. Rounds of showers and gusty storms will prevent or limit the heat in the Upper Midwest.

The counterterrorism troops fought house-to- house battles with the mili- tants in the Shuhada neigh- borhood, and the operation to retake the city is expected to be one of the most diffi- cult yet. "Daesh are concentrat- ing all their forces in this direction," said Gen. Haider Fadel, one of the command- ers of the counterterrorism forces, using the Arabic ac- ronym for the Islamic State militants. Prime Minister Haider al- Abadi promised a swift vic- tory when he announced the start of the operation on May 22 to liberate Fallujah, about 40 miles (65 kilome- ters) west of Baghdad. But the complexity of the task quickly became apparent. Although other secu- rity forces from the federal and provincial police, gov- ernment-sanctioned Shiite militias and the Iraqi mil- itary have surrounded the city, only the elite counter- terrorism troops are fight- ing inside Fallujah at this stage of the operation. And they are doing so under the close cover of U.S.-led coali- tion airpower. "We expect to face more resistance, especially be- cause we are the only forces entering the city," Fadel said. The Islamic State group has suffered setbacks on several fronts in the region where it captured large swathsofterritorytwoyears ago. In northern Syria, U.S.- backed rebels made a fi- nal push Wednesday in the town of Manbij — a key way- point on the IS supply line to the Turkish border and its self-styled capital of Raqqa. And in Libya, forces loyal to a U.N.-brokered government have advanced deep inside the coastal city of Sirte, the main stronghold of the IS group's local affiliate. Fallujah is one of the last IS strongholds in Iraq. Government forces have slowly won back territory, although IS still controls parts of the north and west, as well as the second-largest city of Mosul. The sky above Fallujah's Shuhada neighborhood on Wednesday filled with fine dust and thick gray smoke obscuring minarets and communication towers as artillery rounds and volleys of airstrikes cleared the way for Iraqi ground forces. At a makeshift command center, Iraqi forces coordi- nated the operation via hand-held radios, with Aus- tralian coalition troops sta- tioned at a nearby base. One of the Australians listed the casualties among the mili- tants. "Two KIA (killed in ac- tion), one wounded with a missing arm — his right arm," the unidentified Aus- tralian radioed after calling in an airstrike on Islamic State fighters. A frontier city on the easternmost edge of An- bar province, Fallujah has long been a bastion of sup- port among its mostly Sunni population for anti-govern- ment militants following the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hus- sein. It is symbolically impor- tant to both sides: Many of the Iraqi forces fought al- Qaida in Iraq — the prede- cessor to IS — in this same territory, and the city was the scene of some of the bloodiest urban combat with U.S. forces in 2004. Its high value is one of the reasons IS has deployed well-trained snipers and built extensive networks of tunnels to defend it. "We are having to fight two battles — one above the ground and one below," said Iraqi Maj. Ali Hamel of the military's intelligence wing. While Fallujah's sparsely populated northern out- skirts were recaptured quickly by Iraqi forces, IS used the initial days of the operation to pull the ma- jority of its fighters into the city center, taking about 50,000 civilians with them for use as human shields. Once Iraq's special forces began trying to punch in- side the city limits, the pace of operations slowed. In past battles with IS in places like Ramadi, Fadel said, one of the signs that the militants were losing their grip on territory was when civilians begin fleeing the city center.
