While the heat builds into the Northeast, rounds of thunderstorms are possible through the rest of the week. Through the rest of Wednesday evening, a Marginal Risk has been issued across portions of the Ohio Valley, Northeast, and western North Carolina (above). <video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/06/eaststorms-1781117672917.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>Several boundaries, including a surface trough and cold front, will be the focus for thunderstorm development, particularly during the afternoon hours when the atmosphere reaches peak instability. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/06/Screenshot 2026-06-10 125118-1781117921912.png">A level 2 Slight Risk has been highlighted for Thursday. This includes the New York City area and down the I-95 corridor through Richmond, VA. The risk area extends west into the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/06/Screenshot 2026-06-10 125126-1781118023411.png">Many of the same areas will be under the threat of severe thunderstorms again on Friday, as the cold front finally sweeps across the entire region. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/06/Screenshot 2026-06-10 125404-1781118102149.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/06/Screenshot 2026-06-10 125318-1781118102151.png">Hot and humid afternoons, with daytime highs reaching temperatures 15°+ above-average, will help to fuel the severe thunderstorm potential. Heat Advisories are in place across portions of Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio, as well as the Northeast.

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.

Heat advisories have been expanding across the country as we prepare for dangerously hot temperatures. For some, heat index values could reach 105+ degrees!<h2>Eastern Heat</h2>We're still tracking a large ridge of high pressure. Previously, heat alerts were in effect across the Central Plains. This ridge eventually shifts East, and cities along the I-95 corridor could feel some of their warmest temps of the season.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/06/Screenshot 2026-06-10 035607-1781085379779.png">Newly issued Heat Advisories have been issued from the Great Lakes and into the Tri-State area. This includes New York City and the Philadelphia metro areas. These are in place for Thursday, where heat index values will make air temperatures feel as hot as 100 degrees.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/06/Screenshot 2026-06-10 124307-1781117017591.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/06/Screenshot 2026-06-10 124425-1781117073811.png"><h2>Western Heat</h2>Heat Advisories have now also been issued for portions of the Bay Area and Central Valley; temperatures up to the triple digits are expected here as well.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/06/Screenshot 2026-06-10 124506-1781117113543.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/06/Screenshot 2026-06-10 124532-1781117139291.png">Keep it locked in on the forecast for those high temps here on WeatherNation!

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!

<h2 style="text-align: center">WATCHING THE TROPICS</h2><h1>Atlantic</h1>The first disturbance out into the Atlantic was identified on Wednesday. In the latest outlook from the National Hurricane Center (NHC), it has a rather low chance of development.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/06/Screenshot 2026-06-10 062736-1781094468369.png"><h3>Eastern Pacific Becomes Focus of Early Hurricane Season Activity:</h3>While the Atlantic Basin remains quiet to start the 2026 hurricane season, forecasters are closely monitoring growing activity across the Eastern Pacific. The National Hurricane Center is tracking Tropical Storm Boris, and Tropical Depression Three-E, making the Pacific the most active tropical basin in the Northern Hemisphere right now. (See Above Image)<h3>Amanda Becomes First Named Storm of the Season:&nbsp;</h3>Tropical Storm Amanda formed on Wednesday, becoming the first named storm of the 2026 Eastern Pacific hurricane season.<h3>Tropical Depression Cristina </h3>Boris, the second named storm of the Eastern Pacific, is now post-tropical. Tropical Storm Cristina formed Monday morning and is now a Tropical Depression.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/06/DJDJDJDJDJ-1781113133370.png">A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for portions of the coast of Central America. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/06/Screenshot 2026-06-09 134450-1781034333532.png">Signs Point to an Active Eastern Pacific Season:The early burst of activity is occurring as sea surface temperatures across parts of the Eastern Pacific remain warmer than average. Combined with the development of El Niño conditions, forecasters expect the basin to remain favorable for tropical cyclone formation through much of the season. NOAA’s seasonal outlook calls for an above-average Eastern Pacific hurricane season, with between 15 and 22 named storms possible. Several of those storms could reach hurricane strength, including multiple major hurricanes. &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/06/Screenshot 2026-06-05 073331-1780666421832.png">Meanwhile, the Atlantic Basin is off to a slow start, with dry air associated with Saharan dust helping suppress tropical development across much of the region. While quiet conditions are expected to continue in the near term, the Eastern Pacific is already showing signs that the 2026 tropical season could be an active one. &nbsp;&nbsp;<h3>Stay With WeatherNation This Hurricane Season:</h3>Whether storms threaten land or remain over open waters, WeatherNation is your destination for around-the-clock tropical coverage.

Severe weather has continued to be a big talker in the Plains states these last few days, and the threat is expected to continue. Daily chances of storms will continue this week. Damaging winds, large hail, and torrential downpours will be possible with any storms that develop.<h1>SEVERE:</h1>An enhanced risk has been issued for Wednesday, this time closer to the Great Lakes, and yet another one on Thursday in the same region. All modes of severe weather are possible, and major cities like Chicago are under that severe weather risk for three days in a row! The threat of significant hail, winds, and even strong tornadoes is a possibility today! Make sure we've got multiple ways to get alerts.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/06/2026-06-10 04-00-06-1781085627707.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>In addition to the severe weather risk, there is a slight risk of flash flooding on multiple days. Thunderstorms are expected to produce heavy downpours, and some locations could see multiple rounds of rain over the same areas. This could quickly lead to flooded roadways, overflowing creeks, and dangerous travel conditions, especially in low-lying and poor-drainage areas.&nbsp;<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/06/Screenshot 2026-06-10 040152-1781085726669.png">Stay alert and keep a close eye on forecast updates. With storms expected to intensify quickly, having multiple ways to receive watches and warnings will be important. Drivers are also reminded to avoid traveling through flooded roads, as just a small amount of moving water can be enough to sweep away a vehicle!

Artemis III will be an extraordinary demonstration of what is possible when the greatest Aerospace companies across the United States alongside our European partners come together to showcase the technological might and ambition of the free world." said Jared Isaacman, NASA Administrator During Artemis III, NASA’s SLS (Space Launch System) rocket will launch the Orion spacecraft and its crew from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida to low earth orbit.After Orion systems checkouts, the spacecraft will, for the first time, demonstrate rendezvous and docking capabilities with commercial partners.While Artemis II brought ‘moon-joy’, Artemis III will bring ‘earth-joy’ by studying the earth’s atmosphere in ways we never have before."We will study earth's atmosphere, the environment around Orion during the mission, and the impact of space's influence within the Orion capsule... We'll be doing an observation campaign of the dynamic phenomena on the earth, on our sun and around the environment in space from Orion by using the processes we developed for Artemis II. Having the Artemis crew observe the earth, will be another great exercise for our teams to help guide the way for similar observations on the moon." "We'll be focused particularly on understanding our earth's atmosphere and the space environment in and around Orion through their observations. By observing earth's atmosphere and how space weather impacts it, we can better understand how to protect the critical space based technology there and all of that we rely on as well as our future astronaut crews travelling through that region." said Dr. Nicky Fox Associate Administrator, NASA Science. The mission will undertake a series of challenging tests in low earth orbit in 2027, essential for Artemis IV, the first planned crewed mission to the lunar south pole in 2028.
