Okay. Explanation needed. Dr. Jim is the only father at WeatherNation. That's why I chose to jar you, the reader, with his headshot. Capeesh? Alright, let's get into that forecast for dad! Here's what we're looking at for highs on Sunday

SWEATY DADS

As a ridge of high pressure builds in the desert southwest, temperatures have started soaring. By Saturday and Sunday, areas like Phoenix will top out beyond 110°, prompting heat alerts. While this likely won't threaten any record highs for the area, it is still the hottest temperatures we've seen. Make sure dad's drinking water early and often!

TOUGH TIME LIGHTING THE GRILL

It's a little difficult to get the details down 5 days ahead of time, but it helps to monitor trends. So far, the Northeast, Midwest, Southern Plains, and Southeast are looking at solid rain chances. In the coming days, check back in as we narrow down who might see afternoon vs morning rain.

Of course, the Northeast is used to this, so they assumed this was going to happen I'm sure. Syracuse hasn't seen a weekend yet in 2025 that hasn't had at least a trace of precip.

US OPEN

A big tradition with Father's Day weekend is the U.S. Open, often thought of as the hardest major golf tournament. With the way the forecast is shaping up, it could be tougher than normal - with good chances for rain Saturday and Sunday, there's a chance the tourney lasts into Monday.
