9:23PM: Today was a bit calmer across the country, but business will pick up again in the central Plains tomorrow. Here is a graphic I’ve not seen before, but it promises a busy day in Kansas and Nebraska

10:53PM: This is a mild version of what I expect eastern Texas to look like tomorrow. Stronger activity, maybe a little convection, but not organized, not scary.

10:04PM There has been a litany of thunderstorms across a big swath of the country this week, and even as the threat for tornadoes, wind and hail abate, the lingering effects of torrential rains remain, and will be enhanced by ongoing showers. Thus, we are looking at ongoing flood advisories in the mid-South.

12:17AM: Hello, Gen Z’ers and welcome to June 7th. Somewhat unusually, the main feature for the next several days will be a trough over western Canada. This is leading to severe weather in Montana and North Dakota tonight, and will keep the focus on that part of the world tomorrow as well, and then again by mid week.

11:15PM: The somewhat tepid looking June is living up to the forecast we discussed yesterday. The SPC is looking at isolated severe weather in the Northern Plains for the next few days, but nothing like a major outbreak. The Southeast looks dry. Not much is changing, but there isn’t anything overwhelming ongoing either

7:47PM: There are severe storms in the Dakotas this evening, but a bunch of dry air ahead of them. Fire danger is high in the Northwoods of Minnesota and into Wisconsin. It sure would be nice for the weather to reach this area (the rain, not the severe stuff), but it is not to be.

11:51PM: As I noted earlier this week, El Nino should render the Atlantic hurricane season a bit milder. But it’s going to be busier in the Pacific, starting…. now.

9:01: Happy meteorological summer, everyone! 6/1 is the beginning of meteorological summer, and probably closer to the beginning of what the lay person calls summer. Astronomical summer, of course, begins on June 21st. That’s a sad day, though, as days start getting shorter then. Hooray daylight! Hooray Pennsylvania, without a cloud in the sky! Well, too late, I guess. It is 10 there now.

12:33AM: We’re looking at a busy week of storms. High pressure hangs over the mid-Atlantic, with warm air pumping into the Plains. Storms are a consistent threat in the middle of the country for the next few days.

4:55PM With the gusty winds found posrt frontally, and it being as dry as it is regionwide, expect an elevated fire risk for the Plains all week. Red flag warnings are out for many spots

10:53PM Storms are dying out in Texas this evening, but good luck getting sleep. Look at all this lightning

10:35PM: The burden for above normal warmth has shifted to the southeastern US for the time being. Instead of heat out west, there is a chance for mountain snow early next week in the northern Rockies.

7:35PM: There is a “minor heat risk” for the Central Valley in California. At least it’s minor. But what’s this? There is also a winter weather advisory in the Sierras. California contains multitudes.

1:50PM: The map is pretty quiet today. The closest thing to action is this area, being watched by the SPC in Florida. The area could use the rain, so as long as the activity isn’t severe, this might qualify as good news.
