The southeast can not seem to shake the storms over the last few days! Since last Monday, there have been stormy conditions, even bringing some small hail across the Sunshine State. On Saturday, strong storms spun onshore in Florida leading to some damage - that damage has yet to be surveyed.<div class="twitter-tweet" style="display: flex; justify-content: center" data-twitt-post-id="1921339468071543250" src="https://x.com/WeatherNation/status/1921339468071543250"></div>Each year, Florida’s rainy season brings afternoon downpours, rumbling thunderstorms, and the occasional flash flood. Understanding this seasonal shift is especially important to visitors due to how energetic these storms can be&nbsp;(Hello, lightning). Unfortunately, these storms could be packing a punch the next few days, and not just in FloridaSUNDAY - MONDAYThe primary concerns are storms capable of producing large hail and gusty winds today and tomorrow. But a few tornadoes will be possible again. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot 2025-05-11 062104-1746966073393.jpg"> It's not just today to be weary of some thunderstorms, tomorrow will keep the threat around as this low continues to spin.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/05/2025-05-11 06-21-58-1746966144008.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>For the latest information, tune into WeatherNation.

While much of the western U.S. is feeling record-breaking heat over the weekend, a big change to the weather pattern is expected as we head into next week. As this transition occurs, Montana will see another round of thunderstorms, with some severe potential. Storms on Saturday kicked out some serious winds. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot 2025-05-11 063547-1746967021420.jpg">With temperatures pushing 80-90°F across Big Sky Country, sufficient instability will be available for thunderstorms to develop and strengthen. These storms could organize underneath strong upper-level winds. The upper-level dynamics are ahead of a significant trough that will ultimately impact the rest of the country in the days ahead.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/05/2025-05-11 06-47-09-1746967652904.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>While the northern Rockies will be looking at thunderstorms this weekend, the main core of the upper-low will move onshore by Monday morning, beginning the transition to a cooler and wetter pattern.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/05/ddddddssss-1746932648342.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>By the middle of next week, expect a significant cooldown along with widespread precipitation accumulation across the western half of the country. In fact, many of our mountains across the West could see significant snow!<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot 2025-05-10 183723-1746923854605.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot 2025-05-10 183809-1746923897591.png">We'll continue to update this developing story as more details come into focus here on WeatherNation!

Weekend Severe Risk in Montana Ahead of Pattern Change

We've been stuck in a pretty stagnant pattern recently. With a few cut-off lows and strong ridges of high pressure, the day-to-day pattern has struggled to change much. The trough in the Pacific Northwest will try to change that later this week.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot 2025-05-11 104518-1746982216457.png"><h1>OVERVIEW</h1>As this trough swings in, it will run into VERY warm temperatures. By Wednesday and Thursday, highs across the High Plains will get back to the 80's and 90's. The warm and humid air will more than likely help power strong to severe storms later this week.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot 2025-05-11 103741-1746981482962.png">While a few ingredients look to come together sometime around Thursday, a lot can still change between now and then. The Storm Prediction Center has highlighted areas around Chicagoland later this week.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot 2025-05-11 104542-1746982146842.png">As details become a little clearer throughout the week, things like timing and storm mode will become a little clearer too.<h1><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot 2025-05-11 105338-1746982488848.png">LONG-RANGE FORECAST</h1><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/05/2025-05-11 10-54-16-1746982519313.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>

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.

A break in storms for the Northeast is on the way this Sunday, but first, another round of heavy showers is expected. This follows heavy rain earlier in the week, leaving soils saturated and primed for additional flooding.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/05/through ffo-1746911006647.png">A few showers linger in Maine, and everything clears out as the low moves east.

On the other hand, the rain has been beneficial in helping with the ongoing drought.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot 2025-05-10 051735-1746875926099.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/05/1-1746845961342.png">Tune into WeatherNation:10 past the hour for the eastern regional forecast for more details.

Hail over the size of tennis balls and baseballs fell across the Mid-South and Southeast on Thursday! The storm system responsible is heading toward the coast, where the threat will persist through this evening.<h1><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot 2025-05-09 054322-1746791009234.png">Today's Risk</h1>The threat of severe storms will follow the cold front to the coast this afternoon, with a slightly higher risk for the Outer Banks, where wind and hail damage is more likely.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot 2025-05-09 134214-1746819810039.png">This morning's storms have given way to some clearing before the front taps into daytime heating.

Looking at the rain from a glass half full lens, the Four Corners has received beneficial rain and snow over the last several days. Rain and Snow totals have already started piling in for Colorado. In the past 24 hours the highest totals for rain have been over 2.50 inches for Rye and Denver has seen over an inch of rainfall. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot 2025-05-07 053642-1746617812907.png">The rain is not the only factor. So far, Colorado has seen over half a foot of snow, and totals will be on the rise Wednesday.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot 2025-05-07 053705-1746617844560.png">Clouds and rain will linger through mid-morning before another round of rain will move through in the afternoon. This slow moving storm system will also deliver a big cool-down. The temperature will drop by 10-20 degrees (or more). The heaviest snow across the Colorado Rockies will continue through Wednesday for elevations 8000 ft+, along with heavy rainfall in the foothills, front range, and plains.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/05/2025-05-07 05-40-05-1746618046345.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>This event could bring in some much-needed snow for the higher terrains to keep the ski resorts open a little while longer across parts of the Rockies. Snow totals will likely reach 2' in the high peaks of the Colorado Rockies. Pikes Peak under a Winter Storm Warning with up to 4 feet by early Wednesday. Late-season winter storms can pose a significant risk to hikers and outdoor recreationists unprepared for winter conditions.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot 2025-05-07 053756-1746617906825.png">The soaking rain is another issue, as well. Some areas will be picking up 1-3 inches of rain along the I-25 corridor. Parts of southeastern CO could see isolated flooding with these showers. The mountains will keep afternoon shower chances throughout the weekend, while the rest of the areas will start to dry out.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot 2025-05-07 053803-1746617915680.png">After Wednesday, temperatures will start to warm back up. The area will dry out as a ridge of high pressure moves in. By the end of the week areas in the Four Corners can see temperatures 80 degrees and higher with plenty of sunshine.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot 2025-05-07 053931-1746617979062.png">Stay with WeatherNation for the latest.
