<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/wpc 3 day-1685973504650.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/sw rain-1685973492830.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

<p>After an active weekend in the Lone Star State, more severe storms are possible today - this time in Deep South Texas, or the Rio Grande Valley. By Tuesday and Wednesday the severe threat will focus back into West Texas where the dryline helps to prompt daily afternoon and evening storms. We have a small MARGINAL risk of severe storms through south Texas including Corpus Christi, Laredo and Brownsville. All modes of severe weather are possible, including the potential for an isolated tornado. </p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/spc mon-1685971320260.jpg"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/tor today-1685973234683.jpg">Storms will develop through the afternoon and evening hours, over the southern Rockies and along a dryline. We will see the potential for a few storms reaching severe criteria in addition to the flood threat. Some storms linger into the overnight hours, but most die down by sundown. </p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/day 1 bams-1685972653544.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>For more on the severe weather and flood threats, stay with WeatherNation for the latest in your Top Weather Headlines always streaming 24/7.</p>

<p>An upper level low and coastal low that developed as a result, has brought and will continue to bring unseasonably cool air and periods of rain to the region through today (ABOVE). In fact, record low temperatures were broken Sunday morning in New York including Kennedy Airport and LaGuardia where temperatures barely surpassed 50 degrees, brrr!</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/06-04_rne_tie record lows-1685921750759.jpg">Also, a record-cold high temperature was broken in Portland, Maine, only reaching 49 degrees!</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/06-04_rne_record cold high-1685932563049.jpg">Other spots across New England had a raw and chilly Sunday, by early June standards. However, more chilly weather is set to come into the upcoming work week.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/1-1685970483382.jpg">Due to the area of low pressure off New England's coast, cooler air will be funneled in with winds out of the north. It will be cloudy, breezy, and chilly across New England due to the influence of the low. A gradual warmup begins Wednesday as the low drifts away. Temperatures will reach the 60s on Wednesday and Thursday in Burlington, VT but these temps are still below average. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/2-1685970619823.jpg">This cooling trend will continue for next week. The Climate Prediction Center (CPC) favors cooler than average temperatures for the Northeast, and much of the eastern and central US in general.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/3-1685970569162.jpg">For more on temperature trend, join WeatherNation for the latest top weather headlines, always streaming 24/7.</p>

Kara has always been passionate about weather and knew from an early age that she wanted to become a meteorologist. Living in different regions of the country and experiencing weather events ranging from ice storms to tornadoes drove her to pursue a bachelor's degree in meteorology from the University of Oklahoma. Throughout college, storm chasing became a regular event for Kara, where she saw first-hand the power of the atmosphere. Kara graduated cum laude from OU and decided to further her meteorology education with a Master's degree from Mississippi State University. The deadly April 27, 2011 tornado outbreak struck while Kara was studying at MSU; her first “Dixie Alley” tornado event and an up close glimpse into the destruction of the storms she so closely studied. Her broadcast career began in Elvis’ birthplace, Tupelo, Mississippi, where she earned her Certified Broadcast Meteorologist seal from the American Meteorological Society. Kara's career has included coverage of all types of severe weather including tornado events, flooding and tropical systems across multiple southern states. Recently she helped cover the 2020 Easter Sunday deadly tornado outbreak in southeast Mississippi. In her free time, you can find Kara outdoors exploring new areas with her mini poodle,Truffles. Kara is also an avid runner and frequently races in 5Ks, 10Ks and half marathons. Say hi to Kara on <a href="https://twitter.com/wxkara">Twitter</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/karajameswx">Facebook</a>!

<p>The first named storm of the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season was a tropical storm for less than 24 hours. Arlene has now weakened to a post-tropical cyclone. This system will continue to move south and no further advisories will be issued from the National Hurricane Center.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/POST TROPICAL ARELEN-1685825219078.jpg">There are currently no other areas of interest for potential tropical activity in the Atlantic basin at this time, either.</p><p>Southern Florida can continue to see heavy rain Sunday as lingering moisture from what's left of Arlene moves over the Keys and south Florida and interacts with the sea breeze. Scattered showers and storms, some with torrential downpours, are likely again Sunday afternoon. However into Monday as the system moves into the Atlantic, dry air on the west side of the low will wrap in and give a brief dry day with minimal storms.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/6-3 FL moisture-1685848025302.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>Generally, Florida's soils can handle this amount of moisture, but isolated flooding is possible especially in southeast Florida.
