After days of intense flooding in Florida, that state and many others are bracing for an intense heat wave, while the Pacific Northwest will experience unseasonably cold weather and the potential for late-season snow in the Rocky Mountains early next week.
The chaotic weather map includes the potential for severe thunderstorms developing in between the hot and cold fronts. Forecasters said the colliding fronts could lead to areas of flash flooding between eastern Nebraska and northern Wisconsin on Saturday night, as well as strong storms across parts of eastern Montana into North and South Dakota.
Meanwhile, a plume of tropical moisture will reach the central Gulf Coast during the next couple days, with heavy rain expected to start Monday morning, according to the National Weather Service.
Forecasters said the threat of heavy rains in Florida continues to dissipate, but some thunderstorms could cause local flooding given the already saturated soil. Some areas between Miami and Fort Lauderdale were left underwater in recent days as persistent storms dumped up to 20 inches (50 centimeters) in southern parts of the state.
The damaging no-name storm system coincided with the early June start of hurricane season, which this year is forecast to be among the most active in recent memory amid concerns that climate change is increasing storm intensity.
In Atlanta, where temperatures were forecast to near 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius) on Saturday and Sunday, city officials opened a cooling center to provide relief from the heat. The city announced that a “Family and Friends Field Day” had been postponed because of the high temperatures forecast.
And in the west Texas city of El Paso, Saturday highs were expected to approach 105 F (40.6 C) and the National Weather Service issued a heat advisory through Monday morning for the region.

OMG HEAT WAVE!
Predicted high of 95F here in the ATL area. Yeah, it’s hot. It’s also mid-June.
So tired of this crap.
Hazy, Hot & Humid in Wisconsin. Starts around Father’s Day each year. Hey! That’s TODAY!
We can FINALLY put away our winter Parkas and get out the Flip Flops...or the Bermudas, white ankle socks and sandals for all the Dads who will be bar-b-quing on the back deck, today. :)
This proves that everyone should give all their money to wealthy oligarchs.
:-)
Ah, weather.
Always proof of human malfeasance.
Heat wave and flooding during ‘Pride Month’...hmmm.
Just signs of the times perhaps...
Screw “climbit change.” If you don’t like the weather, wait fifteen minutes and drive 20 miles.
I skimmed the story quickly and thought “this is good — no climate fear mongering.” So I searched for “climate” just to be sure and found “… amid concerns that climate change is increasing storm intensity..”
Oh no....not heat in summer...I’m in Upstate NY...we’ve been freezing for the last month. We need sun and heat. There’s crops to grow.
>There’s crops to grow.
Funny about that - CO2 is a plant growth stimulant!
And THAT is real Science.
I always ask leftists who promote the climate change scam, what is their idea of perfect weather? No storms, no hurricanes, 70 degrees year round? I was reading a ridiculous article yesterday about “carbon catchers” as if carbon is suddenly some criminal element that must be captured and destroyed.

Once we’ve solved the GlowBull Climate warming/cooling Crisis, we’ll have a new monster...
GlowBull Climate Sameness.
I’m not bracing.
North Central Florida here. AccuWeather (I know...) predicts low 90’s as the highs here for the next 7 days. That’s normal (if Lefties have any idea what “normal” means).
Oh, and we only got a little rain. Enough for the grass, but no flooding...
March-June have had multiple 5-15 day periods when the high daily temperature is below normal.
Yesterday - June 15 - my heat clicked on around 10 AM because the temperature was 50 degrees F.
I’ve always said there’s a correlation between co2 and population...more food means we need more co2
I am bracing for the heat.
Drinking extra water.
Making sure I have extra shorts and tees.
Spray sun tan lotion.
I hope I will survive!
