<p style="margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; color: #454545;">Rob grew up in South Florida, where daily afternoon storms and hurricanes piqued his interest in meteorology early on. That interest was fostered by his teachers and his father, who one time brought him onto the roof of their home to watch a funnel cloud move through the Everglades several miles away. Years of filmmaking and tv production in high school gradually pushed him toward broadcast meteorology at Florida State University, where he joined and eventually led the student run daily weather show. After graduating with a Bachelors of Science in Meteorology, he began his career at KESQ in Palm Springs, California before heading to KFSN in Fresno and WLOS in Asheville, North Carolina. He has covered a diverse array of extreme weather events, including haboobs and flash flooding in the desert, extreme snow in the Sierra, hurricanes, and Appalachian ice storms. He also enjoys telling stories and reporting about weather issues.

<p>A ridge of high pressure is pushing moisture into the Front Range of Colorado along a cold front. Upslope (easterly) winds are expected to aid in the development of heavy rain through early next week, while an upper-level low provides wind shear from the southwest.</p><h1>Outlooks</h1><h2>Overnight</h2><p>Showers and storms will continue into the early morning hours of Sunday. Model data shows that many areas will receive at least 1-2" of rain. Isolated flash flooding issues are possible, along with nuisance flooding (roads and poor drainage areas).</p><p>The SPC has highlighted the severe weather threat from the eastern Plains of Colorado to western Missouri. A few thunderstorms could produce 60 mph wind gusts and 1" thick hail. The more widespread threat will be from the flooding, however.</p><h1><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot 2023-06-10 190751-1686445680834.jpg">Sunday</h1><p>Colorado will continue to see a combination of upslope flow and upper-level winds lead to a severe weather threat Sunday for southern Colorado and northern New Mexico. The Weather Prediction Center (WPC) has highlighted similar areas for the risk of flooding. Upslope flow in southern Colorado generally leads to non-severe storms, but rain and small hail do remain possible in this typical June pattern.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot 2023-06-10 190459-1686445512124.jpg">However, along with the chance of heavy rain Sunday, a few severe thunderstorms will be possible.

<p>More Rain is on the way for the West. Another area of Low pressure is off the Southwestern coast of California. Unfortunately, this equivalates to more rainfall and cooler temperatures for the Southwest. Also, snow for the Sierra Nevada mountains, yes, in June. Elevations over 8,000' may see a bit of fresh snowfall, on the order of 3-6."</p><p>An active pattern will persist across California, Nevada, and the Four Corners through Monday. These areas can get rainfall totals of 1-2", with isolated areas seeing higher totals due to the abundance of moisture. Flood alerts continue through area rivers, creeks, and streams due to snowmelt. Over the next few days, flood concerns for the foothills and the Sierra Nevada are a concern.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot 2023-06-10 190005-1686445215696.jpg">Showers and even a few thunderstorms will be possible over the weekend. Snow will be likely overnight into Sunday as moisture continues throughout the weekend. Sunday starts out with isolated showers and by the afternoon storm coverage will increase. Monday an area of low pressure will remain around Southern California which will bring isolated showers to North Nevada and North California.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/califun-1686445317449.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>This area of low pressure will not only bring rain but will keep temps a tad below average.

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.

<p>Severe weather will be possible tomorrow so for any Sunday Funday plans, grab an umbrella and make sure you are staying in tune with the weather!</p><p>As the low pressure that caused severe storms on Saturday in Texas moves east into the warm and humid air of the Mid-South and Southeast, another round of severe storms will be possible Sunday and Monday. The main threats will be damaging winds and hail, but as always an isolated tornado can't be ruled out either.</p><h2>Sunday</h2><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot 2023-06-10 185042-1686444654826.jpg">Scattered severe storms are expected in this area, with the primary threats being gusty winds and large hail.

<p>Over the next few days, flood alerts are in place for parts of Montana, Idaho, and Washington. Moderate to heavy rainfall is possible as a system lingers over this part of the country. Heavy rainfall can lead to flash flooding, ponding on roadways, and the rising of streams, creeks, and rivers. Some of the storms may have localized rainfall rates of 1-2" per hour. Avoid driving through flooded roadways.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot 2023-06-10 103513-1686414952668.jpg">It's been a busy week, and more storms are expected to develop each day this weekend. Daytime heating, moisture that has streamed in from the Gulf, and an area of low pressure alongside a frontal boundary will provide enough lift, moisture, and energy for storms to develop, especially during the afternoons and evenings. A few storms will stick around tonight, and expect more storms around mainly in the Northern Rockies.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/nwstorms-1686415116587.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>There will be the potential for heavy rainfall. Rainfall totals can reach up to four inches in some places over the next five days. Montana has the best potential of seeing some of the heaviest rainfall. The Weather Prediction Center (WPC) has issued excessive rainfall risks for the next few days in the Northwest. According to the WPC, there are a few areas of central MT over 90% saturated (based on NASA Grace imagery). This will help increase flooding potential with already saturated soils.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/4-1686412620545.jpg">Despite the rain, many places in the Pacific Northwest will feel above average through the weekend and into next week.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/5-1686412631332.jpg">For more information and updates on the flood threat in the northern Rockies and Pacific Northwest, join WeatherNation always streaming 24/7 and with the latest alerts always scrolling at the bottom of your screen.</p>

<p>Extremely hazardous air has been impacting the Eastern Seaboard as wildfire smoke pours south from Canada. Hazardous air quality has been shifting south and offshore since Wednesday, improving the air quality in some locations. However, we still have alerts in effect for poor air quality in parts of Ohio Valley down to Northern portions of Georgia.</p><p>While air quality is expected to improve for many areas this weekend, lingering unhealthy air quality is still possible. An upper-level low with northerly flow is the culprit, bringing intense wildfire smoke but also cooler conditions and slightly unsettled weather in terms of showers this week. The thickest smoke will be across the mid-Atlantic with improvements toward NYC and New England.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/1-1686410754291.jpg"></p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/2-1686410810577.jpg"></p><p>For specific city by city information on air quality in your area - please visit the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://fire.airnow.gov/"><strong><em><u>EPA's website</u></em></strong></a>.</p><p>The low pressure will finally move offshore a bit on Saturday, changing the wind direction and thinning the smoke in the Northeast. This will also help reduce the cloud cover and rain chances for many outside of New England, and temperatures will start to rise as well.</p><p></p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/2023-06-10 09-27-06-1686410871050.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>Saturday the low edges into the Atlantic and pulls some of the moisture that direction too, leading to a drier afternoon through the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/3-1686410939035.jpg"></p><p>Isolated showers are still possible through New England, but more spots will stay dry than get rain.

Drastic Improvement Across the Northeast as Smoke Moves Out

Moderate to severe drought conditions continue across the South Plains and there won't be much rain to be happy about this week.  There will not be any drought relief anytime soon.
<h1>Wind Forecast</h1>
<img class="alignnone wp-image-103629 size-full" src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2019/02/camp-fire-update.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

Take a look at the winds forecast! Wow...persistent winds of 25-30 mph will be possible, but these are just the wind speeds.  Wind gusts could exceed 50 mph!  Winds this strong will easily help strengthen and spread a wildfire.  So please use caution if you are outdoors doing anything that can create sparks or flames.

Here you can see the lack of rainfall over New Mexico and West Texas through Friday.  This means the fire weather risk might continue into the weekend if the gusty winds continue to stay in the forecast.
