They call it June-uary

June-uary ⭐

• An upper-low is planted off the West coast

• The results are widespread cloud cover and rounds of showers this week in the Northwest and into northern California, especially by the coast

• Temperatures stay cool and the late rainy season rain gets named "June-uary"

• But the Northwest is dealing with some drought conditions, Oregon alone is 95% abnormally dry and 81% in some level of drought

• So additional rain like some of us saw this past weekend is welcomed

Great Lakes Severe Storms ⭐⭐

• A strong storm threat has started in Michigan and around the Great Lakes today

• The SPC shows a risk of damaging winds today and at least some threat for tornadoes

• This is part of the extratropical remnants of Cristobal that was shoved north after landfall earlier this week

• Storms will be moving pretty quickly, 50+ mph forward speeds

• An isolated severe storm risk continues tomorrow on the East Coast but should be limited

A Wave of Heat ⭐

• Ridging builds in the middle of the country and warmer temperatures come with it

• Warm highs move from the West to the Plains this week and into next week

• Significant fire potential will stay above average in the Southwest
