<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 low pressure system will increase the risk for damaging storms this weekend in the Southern Great Plains, including the I-35 corridor from Dallas to Oklahoma City (ABOVE). Wind, hail, and a tornado or two are possible, with the most impactful storms expected during the afternoon on Saturday.</p><p>A low pressure system moving into the Southern Great Plains will increase upper-level winds to support more organized thunderstorms, including supercell thunderstorms delivering large hail. At the surface, Gulf of Mexico moisture and highs in the 90s provide plenty of energy at the surface for strong updrafts and severe thunderstorms.</p><h2><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/06-07 S PLains Moist-1686133107387.jpg">Saturday</h2><p>Saturday's risk (top of page) covers a large section of I-20, I-30, I-35 and I-45 in Texas. Damaging winds and very large hail are expected to be the more widespread hazards, though a tornado or two may be possible as directional shear increases Saturday afternoon.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/06-10 Wind Sat-1686393189549.jpg">In addition to the heightened wind and hail threats, significant hail (bigger than golf balls) will be possible Saturday from the Red River Valley through DFW and as far south as Austin. Be sure to protect or cover property before storms begin! A tornado or two is possible for a similar region of north and central Texas.</p><h1><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/06-10 Sig Hail-1686393127199.jpg"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/06-10 Tor-1686393133098.jpg">Forecast</h1><p>A few storms are likely to continue early from the previous night's convection. As daytime heating increases, more thunderstorms develop, including "supercell" thunderstorms across central and east Texas with the risk of damaging tornadoes &amp; large hail. Please think ahead to your weekend plans and the potential for hazardous weather. Multiple rounds of thunderstorms are also possible, so don't let your guard down just because a storm has passed.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/2023-06-10 05-03-12-1686395667281.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p></p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/06-10 TX Rain-1686395660223.jpg">Heavy rain is expected where strong thunderstorms form, leading to an isolated flooding threat Saturday. 1-3 inches of rain are possible where storms form, with higher totals in areas that see multiple rounds of storms.

<p>A ridge of high pressure is pushing moisture into the Front Range of Colorado and the Plains where surface low pressure systems are using the moisture to generate storms. This pattern will continue this weekend, with the ingredients working together in all levels of our atmosphere to produce more heavy rain and flood concerns through the weekend.</p><h2>Overnight</h2><p>The severe weather threat is focused through Kansas, southeast Colorado and Oklahoma, extending south into Texas. Most storms will be sub-severe, but a few could remain strong overnight. However the bigger threat is the heavy rain and flooding potential with these overnight storms. This is much-needed rain for the ongoing drought that's been building over the last year, but we don't need all of the rain at once! </p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/OVN Fri SPC Co-1686362033406.jpg">Some showers and storms continue overnight near the cold front, forming clusters of thunderstorms capable of producing gusty winds, heavy rain and lightning. We will be watching for these across Kansas with another MCS trying to survive in Iowa. That energy then leads into more storm development across the Midwest on Saturday afternoon and evening, although most will be sub-severe for the Midwest.</p><h2>Weekend</h2><p>As this system progresses to the east, expect more showers and thunderstorms on Saturday. Model data shows that most areas will receive at least 1-2" of rain. Isolated flooding issues are possible with ponding on the roads and in poor drainage areas. </p><p>Once again the SPC has highlighted the severe weather threat from the front Range of Colorado to the central Plains of Missouri. A few thunderstorms could produce 60 mph wind gusts and 1" thick hail. The more widespread threat will be from the flooding, though.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/spc sat-1686339106580.jpg">Rain and storms will be most numerous in the afternoon and evening, but some of the storms will be able to survive overnight. Gusty winds, hail, lightning and heavy downpours are expected with the strongest storms. Many storms will be non-severe but could be very electric at times, so if you have outdoor plans this weekend you may want to have a backup indoor venue!</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/2023-06-09 13-26-04-1686339263637.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>In the Four Corners we will see upslope flow and upper level winds from the south and southwest produce the 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 itself to non-severe but rain and small hail heavy storms, so this is a typical setup for June.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/wpc rain-1686339094607.jpg">Along with the chance at heavy rain Sunday, a few severe thunderstorms will be possible too. Colorado Springs to Pueblo to Trinidad will have an elevated likelihood of large hail and strong wind.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/sw spc-1686320301620.jpg">This area has been very wet lately. The ground is relatively saturated after two to three times the amount of normal rainfall.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/21-1686345422431.jpg">The western Plains will have an elevated chance of flooding due to the wet ground and new rain, but it is helping with the drought!</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/22-1686345455035.jpg">Tune in to WeatherNation 24/7 for all of your top weather headlines and regional forecasts.

<p>A stubborn area of low pressure that has been parked over the Southwest will weaken slightly today and move north ... only to be replaced by another, stronger low pressure system on Saturday. This means more rain, cooler temps and generally unsettled pattern across the Four Corners, California and Nevada. Flood alerts continue through area rivers, creeks and streams due to snowmelt. Over the next few days, incoming moisture will produce another 1-2" of rainfall which will create flood concerns for the foothills and Sierra Nevada. Meanwhile, elevations over 8,000' may see a bit of fresh snowfall, on the order of 3-6"!</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/28-1686346063271.jpg"></p><p>Pacific moisture will be pulled into the region on Saturday, keeping rain chances elevated for the next few days. Expect heavy rain and an increased risk of flash flooding (especially within burn scars). Snow will be likely overnight Saturday into Sunday as moisture continues throughout the weekend.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/Futurecast Now-1686366164285.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. Los Angeles normally has highs in mid 70s this time of year, but the cool air, moisture and cloud cover associated with the low will hold temperatures near 70 for the next few days.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/3 day temps cali-1686338646107.jpg"></p><p>For more on the Southwest forecast, tune in for the Western Regional Forecast, always :50 past the hour.</p>

<p>Over the next few days, flood alerts are in place for parts of Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon. 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 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/slot0-1686366375274.jpg">It's been a busy week and more storms are expected to develop each day into the 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/NORTHWEST VIDEO-1686345544569.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>There will be the potential for very heavy rainfall. Rainfall totals can reach up to 4 inches of some places over the next 5 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/NW rainfall-1686321303861.jpg">More widespread cooler temps arrive Friday and Saturday, back towards where we should sit for mid-June.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/fri=sun-1686261346135.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 this week. 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 Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Ohio, New York, Michigan, and Indiana.</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 some improvements toward NYC and New England.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/25-1686345727581.jpg"></p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/6-9 RNE smoke 4 pm-1686366239384.png"></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><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/2023-06-09 15-22-49-1686345792785.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/2023/06/26-1686345845212.jpg"></p><p>Isolated showers are still possible through New England, but more spots will stay dry than get rain. On Sunday we anticipate more of the same, but storms will have a bit more heat to work with, so there is a higher potential for severe weather.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/27-1686345889873.jpg"></p><p>Highs into the weekend will be below average but warming slightly as the upper level low providing cooler air pulls into the Atlantic Ocean.

<p>More strong storms are possible as a cold front moves through the Southeast Friday. This front produced isolated storms Thursday but a few were strong enough to produce gusty winds and hail in parts of Georgia and South Carolina. As the front dips to the south on Friday, more isolated severe storms are possible in southern Georgia and parts of Florida. Damaging wind and hail up to the size of quarters will be the main threats. </p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/spc today-1686316879439.jpg">A few showers are possible during the morning along the frontal boundary with activity become more widespread through the afternoon. Before the storms arrive, it will be hot and humid which will help to fuel stronger storms during the afternoon and evening. Make sure you have a way to receive weather alerts and pay attention to changing conditions if you have outdoor plans!</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/2023-06-09 07-20-03-1686316897398.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>Although widespread flooding is not expected, locally heavy rainfall is possible.

<p>After a multi-day flood threat for the Great Plains is starting to wind down as energy now shifts towards the Gulf Coast of Texas. In Central Texas, thunderstorms produced large hail around the Interstate 35 corridor... Golf ball size hail fell in Bulverde! Winds also gusted as high as 67 mph in Texas City!</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/slot0-1686256685032.jpg">Storms in Central Texas will continue to move towards the Gulf Coast overnight. Storms will be aided by a cold front dropping in from the north. This front is a more organized forcing mechanism and will start to switch up the nearly stagnant pattern we've been in across west Texas over the last few weeks. Although a few storms could still be strong, most will remain below severe limits overnight.</p><p>Grounds are saturated in areas, increasing the flood risk around the metros. Keep this in mind as a couple inches of quick rainfall will be possible with each storm cell that moves through.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/flood threat-1686230054305.jpg">For more on the flood risk and severe weather concerns, join WeatherNation for the Central and Western Regional forecasts, always :30 and :50 past the hour, respectively.</p>

Several states across the western United States are under Red Flag Warnings or Fire Weather Watches for the next few days.

These alerts are in place due to breezy, warm and very dry weather conditions, which will support the spread of wildfires. In particular, temperatures across much of the alert areas are forecast to reach into the upper 70s and 80s, with wind gusting up to 45 miles per hour.

The fire threat should subside at the latest by early next week as moisture is expected to move in the region.

Tune into WeatherNation for the very latest on this and other stories from across the nation.
