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. If you're interested in following her on social media she can be found @alanacameronwx!

<p>An upper-level low is bringing cooler air to the Northeast and helping to transport in plenty of wildfire smoke too. A surface low-pressure system will keep showers around for the Northeast over the next few days while smoke pushes into the Midwest and Upper Great Lakes.</p><h2>Temperatures</h2><p>Temperatures stay on the cool side as a reinforcing push of cold air moves into our region. A surface front overnight and an upper-level low mid-week will work together to bring in some cooler Canadian air for New England to keep temperatures slightly cooler than average.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/06-05_rne_fcst remps-1686000402140.jpg"></p><h1>Rainfall</h1><p>A cold front moves through overnight through Tuesday to bring in some scattered showers and storms, but in the meantime, our coastal low will continue to flow in some Atlantic moisture for northern New England.

Texas Storms Wrap Up Overnight

0605_rscovnjpg-1686010915389.jpeg

<p>A weak boundary drifting over the Mid-Atlantic will fire up daily showers and storms this week. Later in the forecast period, we will see more widespread rainfall, which is desperately needed for the Carolinas following a relatively dry Spring. Each day is a low-end, but non-zero severe weather threat.</p><h2>Overnight</h2><p>The Southern Appalachian region can expect a few more storms through this evening with the help of daytime heating. A few storms could turn severe with the risk of damaging winds and large hail.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/spc today-1685986502334.jpg"></p><h2>Tuesday - Wednesday</h2><p>Additional severe storms will be possible on Tuesday, but this time they should be confined to the State of South Carolina. We have a marginal risk (lowest level threat) to cover the damaging wind and hail concerns.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/06-05_east_spc tue-1686000798437.jpg">Storms develop through the heat of the day. By no means will storms be widespread, but if you get underneath one of the storms, be prepared for heavy rain and the threat of damaging winds. Some storms continue into the overnight hours, especially along the coastline, so have a way to get alerts before you go to bed.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/tue wed svr-1685974256161.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>On Wednesday another round of severe storms will impact the Atlantic shores of the Carolinas.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/PIC 3-1685964745728.jpg">You can get the latest details on this top weather story along with the Southeast regional forecast, at :10 past the hour on WeatherNation!</p>

Daily Storms in the Southeastern U.S.

0605_next3daysjpg-1686000688546.jpeg

<p>A cutoff area of low pressure is migrating from the Pacific into the Four Corners region in the Southwest U.S. This storm system is overall weak but will still provide enough upper-level energy to assist with daily thunderstorm development over the Southwest.</p><h2>Severe Threats</h2><p>Over the next three days we have the potential for severe weather in the western United States. Today the risk is along the spine of the Sierra Nevada with the potential for damaging winds and hail. By Tuesday this risk migrates into northern California and Nevada along with the Snake River Valley with similar storm threats.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/cali sopc-1686001720044.jpg"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/spc tue-1685990909938.jpg">On Wednesday the severe weather threat is centered through southern Oregon, northern Nevada and southern Idaho. Winds in our upper level of our atmosphere will be from the east and southeast while at the surface we expect westerly winds. This shear, or turning of wind with height will support storm development, especially over the higher terrain. Our primary threat will be damaging winds but we could see marginally large hail as storms develop.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/spc wed-1685990935283.jpg"></p><h2>Forecast</h2><p>Thunderstorms develop in the heat of the day over the higher terrain, some of which will be severe. Most, however, will be heavy rainstorms with lightning as well. Expect daily showers and storms that mostly develop over the higher terrain, and while we may only get a quick 0.5" of rain, it can overwhelm the ground. While storms won't likely reach severe criteria (58 mph winds or 1 inch hail), they will still be capable of producing gusty winds, small hail, and the threat of frequent lightning. Remember, "When thunder roars, head indoors".</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/fcst rain west-1686001738844.jpg"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/06-05_west esxce-1686001781650.jpg">For more on the Southwest forecast, join us for your Western Regional Forecast, always :50 past the hour.</p>

Cutoff Low Produces Severe Weather in the Western U.S.

cutoffjpg-1685990702839.jpeg

<p>A persistent pattern is keeping the radar active in the Northern Rockies. A strong ridge of high pressure parked over the Upper Midwest and an area of low pressure near the Pacific Northwest are working together to produce a strong southerly flow, bringing moisture from the Gulf of Mexico as far north as the Canadian Border.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/06-04_west moisture-1685932315240.jpg">Showers and storms become widespread each afternoon with heavy rain, lightning, and gusty winds. If you have outdoor plans, the mornings will definitely be your best chance of staying dry.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/06-05_rnw_12z-1686001937433.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>For the latest Flash Flood Warnings, download the WeatherNation app. Warnings will always be scrolling at the bottom of the screen.

Northern Rockies Flood Threat and Strong Storms

0605_rnw_spcjpg-1686001861485.jpeg

<p>The multi-day flood threat is back for the Great Plains and Front Range from Denver to Amarillo as a constant stream of moisture works in from the Gulf of Mexico. This moisture then hits the Rockies, producing daily thunderstorms, some of which will be severe. The grounds are overly saturated (above) meaning additional moisture will be difficult to absorb. Denver and Colorado Springs saw their 4th and 6th wettest May, respectively with the Texas panhandle experiencing equally soggy conditions. In fact, Dalhart and Borger saw their wettest May month on record!</p><h2>Flood Threat</h2><p>The Weather Prediction Center (WPC) has highlighted the risk for excessive rainfall over the next three days, from Wyoming through southern Texas with the marginal risk (lowest threat level) and a SLIGHT risk of flooding over the Texas Panhandle and eastern New Mexico. Any thunderstorm that develops could quickly put down 1-2" of rainfall, overwhelming soils and creating flood concerns.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/06-05_exc-1686001650538.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>Indications are for anywhere from 1-3" of rainfall over the next three days. While this may not seem like a lot of rain for other parts of the country, this much rainfall in a short period of time in the Great Plains can cause major issues. The other thing we will be watching will be for rainfall over recent area burn scars, especially in New Mexico where rainfall could cause mudslides and debris flow.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/06-05_west rAIN-1686001672895.jpg"></p><h2>Severe</h2><p>In addition to the flood threat we also have the risk of severe storms, developing along the dryline both Tuesday and Wednesday. There is a MARGINAL (level 1 out of 5) threat for most of New Mexico and the Texas Panhandle both days. Primary threats are damaging winds and hail. Storms don't look to be as intense compared to last week's severe weather, but they will be widespread, meaning the flood concern will be elevated.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/spc tue-1685973473937.jpg"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/spc wed-1685973481306.jpg">Showers and storms develop in the afternoon and evening hours, using the terrain and the dryline to develop, moving into the Plains as the evening progresses. Some of these storms will linger into the overnight hours, pushing into central Texas as MCS's or Mesoscale Convective Systems, producing heavy rain and lightning. More storms develop in the hills on Wednesday with similar threats.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/day 2 bams-1685973372508.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>For more on the flood risk and severe weather concerns, join WeatherNation for your central and western regional forecasts, always :30 and :50 past the hour, respectively.</p>

Flood Threat from Colorado to Central Texas this Week

saturatedjpg-1685972766757.jpeg

<p>Hurricane Season is underway in the Atlantic and we have our eyes on potential development in the Northeast Atlantic with a low, but non-zero, threat of development over the next week. We've already had our first named storm of the season - Arlene - named the first day of the Atlantic Hurricane Season. This was our second storm of the season, with a subtropical low from January registering as our first tropical system of 2023. The next name up on the list is Bret if this system in the Atlantic gets organized. The placement of this area of low pressure is a bit unusual for tropical development - we typically see June storms form in the Caribbean and move into the Gulf of Mexico. Not to say development elsewhere in the Basin is rare, its just climatologically not favored. </p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/june-1685991554952.jpg">As a reminder, both NOAA and forecasters at Colorado State University are calling for a near normal season, balancing the impact of warmer than average sea surface temperatures and the El Nino conditions expected to develop by the peak of hurricane season. They will play tug of war with the potential for storm development this year. </p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/NOAA-1685991570866.jpg"></p><p>Stay with WeatherNation for the latest in the tropics throughout hurricane season which runs through late November. </p>

Atlantic Hurricane Season: Watching the Tropics

All fires have fairly low containment at 22-33% with 8 fatalities reported as of 6:30AM August 1st in California. Smoke is an issue for people near the fires with air quality alerts out for the The San Joaquin Valley until the fires are extinguished. Smoke from the fires can be seen across most of California, Nevada and even parts of Oregon. A few more fires to the E are creating smoky conditions for N AZ, Utah, W Colorado and NW New Mexico.
