<p>ABOVE: A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued this afternoon for South Texas. Mainly around the Rio Grande Valley, storms which form here could have winds up to 75mph, inch up to 2" in diameter, and a tornado or two.</p><p>After an active weekend in the Lone Star State, more severe storms are possible today - this time in Deep South Texas, or the Rio Grande Valley. By Tuesday and Wednesday the severe threat will focus back into West Texas where the dryline helps to prompt daily afternoon and evening storms. We have a small MARGINAL risk of severe storms through south Texas including Corpus Christi, Laredo and Brownsville. All modes of severe weather are possible, including the potential for an isolated tornado.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/spc tx today-1685986634917.jpg"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/tor-1685986643892.jpg"></p><p>Storms will develop through the afternoon and evening hours, over the southern Rockies and along a dryline. We will see the potential for a few storms reaching severe criteria in addition to the flood threat. Some storms linger into the overnight hours, but most die down by sundown.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/day 1 bams-1685972653544.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>For more on the severe weather and flood threats, stay with WeatherNation for the latest in your Top Weather Headlines always streaming 24/7.</p>

Severe Risk Favors South Texas Today

<p>An upper level low is bringing cooler air to the Northeast and helping to transport in plenty of wildfire smoke too. A surface low pressure system will keep showers around for the Northeast over the next few days while smoke pushes into the Midwest and Upper Great Lakes. </p><h2>Temps</h2><p>Temperatures are slightly warmer today than they were this weekend in the Northeast, and that warming trend continues into the next day or two around the interior Northeast. It beats the cold air from this weekend, when record low temperatures were broken Sunday morning in New York including Kennedy Airport and LaGuardia where temperatures barely surpassed 50 degrees, brrr! Also, a record-cold high temperature was broken in Portland, Maine, only reaching 49 degrees! Today we will reach for the 50s and 60s along the coast with 60s and 70s inland. This is still well below average for early June and temperatures stay on the cool side as a reinforcing push of cold air moves into our upper atmosphere mid-week. </p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/highs-1685985560522.jpg"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/3 day-1685985615246.jpg"></p><h2>Rainfall</h2><p>The other factor will be showers and storms that impact New England and the northeast over the next few days. By no means do these storms look to be widespread, but they will bring much needed rainfall to the region. Rain should also help to scour out some of the smoke that is thick through the Great Lakes region and the Northeast. </p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/2023-06-05 11-18-25-1685985647266.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><h2>Smoke</h2><p>Speaking of smoke, we have many communities that are experiencing unhealthy air quality due to northerly winds transporting thick smoke from the Canadian wildfires south into the Great Lakes region. Air quality alerts have been issued (by state health departments) but regardless of if you are under one of those alerts or not, the smoke will be widespread through the region. Some relief comes into effect Tuesday as the same cold front that produces showers in the Northeast slides through Michigan, Ohio and New York, pushing the smoke into the Mid-South. </p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot 2023-06-05 082911-1685975358523.png"></p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/0605-1685975414878.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>For more on temperature trend, join WeatherNation for the latest top weather headlines, always streaming 24/7.</p>

Low Pressure Transports Cool Air & Smoke to the Northern U.S.

<p>A weak boundary drifting over the Mid-Atlantic will fire up daily showers and storms this week. Later in the forecast period we will see more widespread rainfall, which is desperately needed for the Carolinas following a relatively dry Spring. Each day is a low end, but non-zero severe weather threat.</p><h2>Monday</h2><p>Severe storms will be possible in the Southern Appalachians later today and tonight. A few storms could turn severe with the risk of damaging winds and large hail. Daytime heating will be a huge factor in today's storms. That is why we are going to see them start to develop during the warmer afternoon hours.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/spc today-1685986502334.jpg"></p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/today sever-1685974424035.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><h2>Tuesday - Wednesday</h2><p>More severe storms will be possible on Tuesday, but this time they should be confined to the State of South Carolina. We have a marginal risk (lowest level threat) to cover the damaging wind and hail concerns.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/PIC 2-1685964727182.jpg">Storms develop through the heat of the day. By no means will storms be widespread, but if you get underneath one of the storms, be prepared for heavy rain and the threat of damaging winds. Some storms continue into the overnight hours, especially along the coastline, so have a way to get alerts before you go to bed.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/tue wed svr-1685974256161.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>On Wednesday another round of severe storms will be impact this region of the Country. This time it will focus more on the Atlantic shores of the Carolinas and Georgia.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/PIC 3-1685964745728.jpg">Rain totals will be around an inch, with locally higher amounts of 2-3" possible where showers and storms train over the same areas. Not everyone will get rain or storms, but where they form, downpours could be heavy at times. This is needed rain though, as much of the Southeast has not received much rain in the last 30 days. The golden colored areas are the spots in most need of rain, including east Tennessee, north Georgia, North Carolina, and the upstate of South Carolina. As of now, drought is minimal across the Southeast. But more sunny and warm days will continue to dry the soils out and drought can build, if we don't get much rain in the near future. You can get the latest details on this top weather story along with the Southeast regional forecast, at :10 past the hour on WeatherNation!</p>

Daily Storms in the Mid-Atlantic

carolinas3dayjpg-1685986479507.jpeg

<p>The multi-day flood threat is back for the Great Plains and Front Range from Denver to Amarillo as a constant stream of moisture works in from the Gulf of Mexico. This moisture then hits the Rockies, producing daily thunderstorms, some of which will be severe. The grounds are overly saturated (above) meaning additional moisture will be difficult to absorb. Denver and Colorado Springs saw their 4th and 6th wettest May, respectively with the Texas panhandle experiencing equally soggy conditions. In fact, Dalhart and Borger saw their wettest May month on record! </p><h2>Flood Threat</h2><p>The Weather Prediction Center (WPC) has highlighted the risk for excessive rainfall over the next three days, from Wyoming through southern Texas with the marginal risk (lowest threat level) and a SLIGHT risk of flooding over the Texas Panhandle and eastern New Mexico. Any thunderstorm that develops could quickly put down 1-2" of rainfall, overwhelming soils and creating flood concerns. </p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/wpc 3 day-1685973504650.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>Indications are for anywhere from 1-3" of rainfall over the next three days. While this may not seem like a lot of rain for other parts of the country, this much rainfall in a short period of time in the Great Plains can cause major issues. The other thing we will be watching will be for rainfall over recent area burn scars, especially in New Mexico where rainfall could cause mudslides and debris flow. </p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/sw rain-1685973492830.jpg"></p><h2>Severe</h2><p>In addition to the flood threat we also have the risk of severe storms, developing along the dryline both Tuesday and Wednesday. There is a MARGINAL (level 1 out of 5) threat for most of New Mexico and the Texas Panhandle both days. Primary threats are damaging winds and hail. Storms don't look to be as intense compared to last week's severe weather, but they will be widespread, meaning the flood concern will be elevated. </p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/spc tue-1685973473937.jpg"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/spc wed-1685973481306.jpg">Showers and storms develop in the afternoon and evening hours, using the terrain and the dryline to develop, moving into the Plains as the evening progresses. Some of these storms will linger into the overnight hours, pushing into central Texas as MCS's or Mesoscale Convective Systems, producing heavy rain and lightning. More storms develop in the hills on Wednesday with similar threats. </p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/day 2 bams-1685973372508.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>For more on the flood risk and severe weather concerns, join WeatherNation for your central and western regional forecasts, always :30 and :50 past the hour, respectively. </p>

Flood Threat from Colorado to Central Texas this Week

saturatedjpg-1685972766757.jpeg

<p>A cutoff area of low pressure is migrating from the Pacific into the Four Corners region in the Southwest U.S. This storm system is overall weak but will still provide enough upper-level energy to assist with daily thunderstorm development over the Southwest.</p><h2>Severe Threats</h2><p>Over the next three days we have the potential for severe weather in the western United States. Today the risk is along the spine of the Sierra Nevada with the potential for damaging winds and hail. By Tuesday this risk migrates into northern California and Nevada along with the Snake River Valley with similar storm threats.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/spc show-1685990919672.jpg"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/spc tue-1685990909938.jpg">On Wednesday the severe weather threat is centered through southern Oregon, northern Nevada and southern Idaho. Winds in our upper level of our atmosphere will be from the east and southeast while at the surface we expect westerly winds. This shear, or turning of wind with height will support storm development, especially over the higher terrain. Our primary threat will be damaging winds but we could see marginally large hail as storms develop. </p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/spc wed-1685990935283.jpg"></p><h2>Forecast</h2><p>Thunderstorms develop in the heat of the day over the higher terrain, some of which will be sever.. Most however, will be heavy rainstorms with lightning as well. Watch out for washes/ditches as they will fill quickly during these storms and low lying areas will flood quickly. Lingering snowpack and daily thunderstorm activity can lead to excessive runoff through our rivers, creeks and streams. Please do not drive through flooded roadways and watch out if you live near a recent area burn scar. Expect daily showers and storms that mostly develop over the higher terrain, and while we may only get a quick 0.5" of rain, it can overwhelm the ground. While storms won't likely reach severe criteria (58 mph winds or 1 inch hail), they will still be capable of producing gusty winds, small hail, and the threat of frequent lightning. Remember, "When thunder roars, head indoors". </p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/qpf-1685990952920.jpg"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/wpc 3 day-1685990944671.jpg">For more on the Southwest forecast, join us for your Western Regional Forecast, always :50 past the hour.</p>

Cutoff Low Produces Severe Weather in the Western U.S.

<p>Hurricane Season is underway in the Atlantic and we have our eyes on potential development in the Northeast Atlantic with a low, but non-zero, threat of development over the next week. We've already had our first named storm of the season - Arlene - named the first day of the Atlantic Hurricane Season. This was our second storm of the season, with a subtropical low from January registering as our first tropical system of 2023. The next name up on the list is Bret if this system in the Atlantic gets organized. The placement of this area of low pressure is a bit unusual for tropical development - we typically see June storms form in the Caribbean and move into the Gulf of Mexico. Not to say development elsewhere in the Basin is rare, its just climatologically not favored. </p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/june-1685991554952.jpg">As a reminder, both NOAA and forecasters at Colorado State University are calling for a near normal season, balancing the impact of warmer than average sea surface temperatures and the El Nino conditions expected to develop by the peak of hurricane season. They will play tug of war with the potential for storm development this year. </p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/06/NOAA-1685991570866.jpg"></p><p>Stay with WeatherNation for the latest in the tropics throughout hurricane season which runs through late November. </p>

A storm system is pushing across the central Plains today (Thursday), bringing a round of accumulating snow from the Front Range to the Mississippi River. Winter weather alerts have been issued for parts of Colorado, Nebraska, and Kansas. 2" to 6" of snow will accumulate, with isolated areas in the Winter Storm Warning seeing 5" to 9". Roads may become slippery in some areas, creating travel issues.
