An upper-level ridge is building into the Desert Southwest. This feature will bring intense heat to portions of Arizona and southern California, particularly by Monday afternoon.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-28 164500-1751150853250.png">Extreme Heat Warnings have been issued for much of the Sonoran Desert, along with the bottom of the Grand Canyon!<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-28 164512-1751150928554.png">Monday looks to be the hottest day, as several locations could top out at over 115°! Even though Phoenix is, of course, hot in the summertime, these are temperatures running 10 degrees above average. Even those who are experienced in hot climates may struggle to deal with this type of heat.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-28 164527-1751151097274.png">Major and Extreme heat impacts will be possible across Arizona and southern California on Monday, but the Northwest too could be impacted by the rising mercury.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-28 171523-1751152531992.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-28 164600-1751151174213.png">Well above-average temperatures will be felt to start next week here, with the Willamette Valley reaching well into the 90s, and a few locations potentially topping out in the triple digits.We'll continue to watch this developing story, as well as keep an eye on when things might cool off a bit!

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 cold front has been spurring severe storms across the northern tier of the country over the last several days. On Friday, severe storms moved across parts of the Great Lakes and the Northeast. A few wind gusts topped over 50-60 mph across Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-28 053721-1751110856216.png"><h1>Outlooks</h1>The cold front takes aim at the East Coast this weekend, which will allow for additional severe storms packing gusty winds. Saturday's outlook stretches from SW New Hampshire into Ohio and Virginia.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-28 163146-1751149945078.png">As the front stalls on Sunday slightly farther south, a few additional severe storms will be possible from the northern Chesapeake and western Delaware into southern Virginia.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-28 053607-1751110837895.png">Another storm system will begin moving into the region on Monday, possibly leading to a few more severe storms along its warm front. A marginal risk for severe storms has been issued from central Pennsylvania into North Carolina.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-28 053611-1751110847713.png"><h1>Forecast</h1>The afternoons look to be the most active, with some storms persisting into the evening hours. The storm threat will shift south after Saturday, out of New England, stalling in portions of the Mid-Atlantic and North Carolina.

While the Eastern Pacific has made most of the headlines in the western hemisphere so far this hurricane season, activity in the Atlantic is starting to make some waves. After the quick formation and dissipation of Andrea in the central Atlantic earlier this week, Tropical Depression Two has now formed in the Bay of Campeche. <h1>ATLANTIC</h1>Tropical Depression Two is expected to make landfall in Mexico on Sunday night. Heavy rain and isolated flash flooding will be the main impacts of this system. As far as rainfall totals, Tropical Depression Two is expected to produce rainfall totals of 3 to 6 inches, with some areas seeing up to 10 inches.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/new deprssion-1751149499425.png"> Barry is the next name on the list in the Atlantic this season. As a reminder, systems only get names if they reach tropical storm status (sustained winds over 39 mph) or higher.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-24 082217-1750774988465.png">Although the Atlantic is off to a slow start, this is not unusual for June. Historically, tropical activity in the Atlantic does not typically ramp up until later in the summer, particularly in August and September, with the peak occurring around the 15th of September. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot 2025-05-29 104849-1748537876634.png">For now, the quiet beginning to the season is considered perfectly normal.&nbsp;The early season will more often see more tropical storms than hurricanes, but hurricanes can form and impact the United States, so it's <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.weathernationtv.com/news/hurricane-prep-week-2025">always best to be prepared</a>.NOAA and Colorado State are expecting an above-average season in the Atlantic Basin. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.weathernationtv.com/news/noaa-predicts-above-average-2025-hurricane-season">Click here to read more.</a><h1>EASTERN PACIFIC</h1>The 2025 Eastern Pacific hurricane season is off to a record-breaking start, with five named storms: Alvin, Barbara, Cosme, Dalila, and Erick. This level of early activity is well ahead of the seasonal average, which typically sees the first named storm by June 10, the second by June 24, and the third by July 6. Dalila forming on the 13th marked the fastest four storms to be named in the basin since record keeping began, beating 1974, which saw Dolores form by the 14th of June.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-22 205029-1750647070946.png">The Eastern Pacific looks to remain active for the foreseeable future. Thunderstorm activity is gradually gaining organization and a organized low pressure system is expected this weekend, possibly becoming a depression or tropical storm.

SOUTHEAST - Strong thunderstorms have developed over the Southeast over the last few days, causing tornadoes, damaging winds, and hail. The upper-level "heat dome" that has been steering storms westward over the past few days is being replaced by an upper-level low. The lift associated with this feature will create thunderstorm development each afternoon with daytime heating. Northern Georgia and up through the Smokies remain under a Marginal Risk for severe thunderstorms overnight. Other areas will continue to see general scattered showers and thunderstorms. <video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/seweekend-1751066384167.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-27 204012-1751078418946.png"><h2>Temperatures</h2>Although there hasn't been an area highlighted for potential severe weather this weekend, high heat and moisture will continue to fuel at least general thunderstorms. Here's a look at the forecasted heat index values for Saturday. Many locations will once again reach triple-digit heat indices.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-27 172304-1751066594625.png">Join us at :10 past the hour for more on your eastern regional forecast.

NEW MEXICO - A conveyor belt of moisture will bring heavy rain and storms to New Mexico over the next few days. A ridge of high pressure to the east and a trough to the west will help to funnel this moisture northbound. Thursday's heavy rain resulted with Ruidoso, NM under another Flash Flood Emergency as some of the creeks near the former burn scars became overwhelmed with a slow moving thunderstorm!<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/2025-06-24 08-11-37-1750767132922.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>In the short term, the flood risk is very isolated across New Mexico heading into the weekend!<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/1-1750978118635.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/2-1750978123832.png">The best chance of thunderstorms will occur during the afternoon and evening hours!
