Weekly Highlights June 1st to 7th

This week the East will see some warmer temps come in while we deal with a chance for severe weather almost every day this week. To start areas in the Plains, Midwest, through the Mississippi Valley and into parts of the Northeast will experience a haze from the smoke caused by all the wildfires in Canada. Some area could see some poor air quality from the smoke. Warmer weather ison tap this week for much of the US and especially the Northeast, as they have been seeing cool wet weather. 

The chance for severe weather this week will be almost daily, as we will see multiple days of storms. Monday, storms will form in the Upper Plains and set the stage on Tuesday for more storms to form. Tuesday, we could see severe weather from the Great Lakes all the way down into Texas. With these storms developing all hazards will be in play, and we could see a tornado outbreak across several states. Milder temps along with increased dew points will help aid the threat for storms and tornadoes. Tuesday looks to be a dangerous weather day. The severe weather threat will continue through Thursday for the Great Lakes into Texas, as everyday there will be a chance for some severe weather. Wednesday and Thursday storms will develop across Florida and parts of the Southeast. Also on Wednesday, the western part of Texas will see some showers and thunderstorms form, and some of those storms could become severe. Friday, more storms will develop across the Plains into parts of Texas, and another line of storms looks to affect parts of the Northeast through the Ohio and Tennessee Valley’s into parts of the Southeast. Saturday, storms will continue to develop out across the Plains. The Plains as well as parts of the Midwest could see a chance for some localized flooding with all the rain they could see this week.
