EAST - Heat Advisories and Extreme Heat Warnings continue across the eastern U.S. But, cooler temps are coming by the end of the week for most of the Northeast with a 20 degree temperature drop (or more). Boston, MA set an all-time June record high of 102 degrees on Tuesday. Philadelphia, PA hit 100 degrees for the first time in 13 years.Why? A massive, high-pressure heat dome is in control of the East. Temps are baking beneath this high.<h1><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-25 122516-1750875922137.png">Records</h1><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/tomer east record highs wed-1750886327792.jpg">And, you can't forget about the heat index.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/tomer east heat idex records-1750886357343.jpg">On Tuesday (6/24) Boston, MA set an all-time June record high:<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/tomer boston record all time-1750809581845.jpg"><h1>What lies ahead?</h1>Forecast highs stay at record or near-record levels today, then cooler air begins to move into the Northeast, including Boston and Philly.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-25 194756-1750902503835.png">Stay with WeatherNation for the latest.

<h1>ATLANTIC</h1>The Atlantic hurricane season began at the beginning of the month and now has something to monitor. Tropical Storm Andrea formed in the open Atlantic and is now gone, and as we look ahead, we have no tropical cyclone formation expected in the next 7 days.<h4>WHY HAS IT BEEN SO QUIET?</h4>The Saharan dust, which often travels westward from Africa, can suppress tropical development by introducing dry, stable air into the atmosphere. In addition, wind shear is disrupting the organization of tropical waves and disturbances, preventing them from developing into more significant systems. While sea surface temperatures are warm enough to support storm formation, they are not as favorable as in recent years, further limiting activity.&nbsp;<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-24 205325-1750820028669.png">Although the Atlantic is off to a slow start, this is not unusual for June. Historically, tropical activity in the Atlantic does not typically ramp up until later in the summer, particularly in August and September, with the peak occurring around the 15th of September.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-24 082217-1750774988465.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot 2025-05-29 104849-1748537876634.png">For now, the quiet beginning to the season is considered perfectly normal.&nbsp;The early season will more often see more tropical storms than hurricanes, but hurricanes can form and impact the United States, so it's <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.weathernationtv.com/news/hurricane-prep-week-2025">always best to be prepared</a>. Andrea is the first name on the list in the Atlantic in 2025.NOAA and Colorado State are expecting an above-average season in the Atlantic Basin. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.weathernationtv.com/news/noaa-predicts-above-average-2025-hurricane-season">Click here to read more.</a><h1>EASTERN PACIFIC</h1>The 2025 Eastern Pacific hurricane season is off to a record-breaking start, with five named storms: Alvin, Barbara, Cosme, Dalila, and Erick. This level of early activity is well ahead of the seasonal average, which typically sees the first named storm by June 10, the second by June 24, and the third by July 6. Dalila forming on the 13th marked the fastest four storms to be named in the basin since record keeping began, beating 1974, which saw Dolores form by the 14th of June.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-22 205029-1750647070946.png">Now, there is a new area of concern in the Eastern Pacific. An area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms has roughly a 70 percent chance of development within the next 7 days. This area is currently located offshore of Central America and Southern Mexico.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-25 193219-1750901559209.png">

Alana Cameron was born and raised in Canada in the city of Mississauga, just outside of Toronto. Alana is the oldest of 4 siblings, all close in age, and grew up playing outside with them in all types of weather. After graduating high school, Alana moved to study at the University of British Columbia in Kelowna for a year before transferring to Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia where she completed a Bachelor of Science in Physics and Atmospheric Science. Upon completion, Alana moved back to Toronto where she completed a post-grad degree in Meteorology at York University. After her post-grad, she went on to complete another post-grad in Broadcast Journalism - TV News at Fanshawe College in London, Ontario. During her final year of studies she had the privilege of interning with the best in the business in Canada at The Weather Network. Once she finished her internship, she got the call from small-town Denison, Texas where she accepted a job as an on-air meteorologist at KTEN-TV, right in tornado alley, covering severe weather from Sherman/Denison (North Texas) to Ada (Southern Oklahoma). After the most active tornado season Oklahoma had seen in May 2019 (105 tornadoes!) Alana is excited to join WeatherNation to cover weather all across the nation.

NEW MEXICO - A conveyor belt of moisture will bring heavy rain and storms to New Mexico over the next few days. A ridge of high pressure to the east and a trough to the west will help to funnel this moisture northbound. Some of this moisture is from the remnants of Erick.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/2025-06-24 08-11-37-1750767132922.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>A rich feed of moisture will keep the risk of flash flooding in the forecast through Wednesday.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/tomer nm flood threat-1750816936500.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>Rainfall totals may reach upwards of 3-5" across New Mexico, which has warranted the moderate risk of flash flooding. Some of these areas are also scarred from wildfires, and the burn scars will be sensitive to flash flooding.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/tomer rain forecast-1750817070511.jpg">The best timing for thunderstorms will be during afternoon heating, but some will continue overnight in these regions.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/tomer nm futurecast-1750810137737.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>

Monsoon Season is Here As New Mexico's Flood Threat Increases

tomernmfloodtonightjpg-1750817020565.jpeg

Sounds like something out of science fiction, right? These are relatively rare, but sometimes, the temperature can jump rapidly in the early morning hours, like it did this morning in Perham, MN. So, how does it happen? What do you need to see the thermometer jump almost 20° without much warning? There are two big ingredients you'll need: a dying storm and some warm air just off the surface.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/08/Heatburst explained-1724599653047.png">As that storm falls apart, the rain-cooled air will shove the warmer, drier air down to the surface. The temperature shot from about 80 all the way up to 97 in a matter of 30 minutes between 7:00 and 8:00 AM.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-22 114637-1750614405520.png">Usually, these happen in the morning hours, when an inversion will displace the warmer air aloft as we cool off overnight.

A Heat Burst Happened Sunday Morning: What Is It??

Heatburstexplainedpng-1724600057365.png

Record highs are likely across the Northeast starting today and lasting through at least Wednesday. Over 200 locations could tie or break records during this stretch! That heat is helping fire another batch of storms over the next few days. Wind and hail are the major impacts expected with the storms today, however a few tornado warnings were issued early Sunday AM.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-22 110511-1750611918938.png">A Flash Flood Emergency was issued for Chenango County in New York for significant rainfall and dangerous flooding. Water was reported to be approaching homes in the area. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-22 084016-1750603251527.png">A strong high-pressure system will begin building today and strengthen through the week, sending temperatures soaring. With a little more rain in the forecast Sunday, the Weather Prediction Center upgraded this area's expectation of excessive rainfall. <video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/2025-06-22 11-17-47-1750612771028.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>Monday and Tuesday a front will scoot closer to the area, keeping the threat of severe weather around. Damaging winds look to be the most likely threat, especially Tuesday with the front. If it's not a little stormy, it's going to be really steamy. Highs in the mid to upper 90's will be easy to come by towards Tuesday. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-22 111351-1750612528516.png">

Taban Sharifi grew up in Southern California between Los Angeles and San Diego. She is a Certified Broadcast Meteorologist (CBM) with the American Meteorological Society (AMS). She has a B.S. in Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Environmental Sciences with a minor in Environmental Systems and Society from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Go Bruins! While in school, Taban was a meteorology intern with NBC LA. There she helped forecast daily weather for the greater Los Angeles region and created a playbook to deploy weather sensors for NBC owned-and-operated stations across the country. Her first on-air job took her to San Angelo, Texas, where she was a morning meteorologist and co-anchor. Working in West Texas gave her knowledge and experience covering severe storms. From there, she moved to Palm Springs, California. People think forecasting in California is sunshine all the time, but with temperatures in the 120’s, wildfires, damaging winds, floodings, and earthquakes, the forecasting kept her very busy! She also worked there as a general assignment reporter and told community stories. Taban is excited for the challenge and opportunity to forecast nationally with WeatherNation. She also looks forward to exploring all that Colorado has to offer!
