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.

our records don’t go more than a couple hundred years back...
Just checked radar, appears small lines approaching in perhaps one hour, with heavier larger formations still in the Gulf, and moving in a northwesterly direction towards us. Probably be upon us in 3 to 4 hours with moderate to light rains for 3 more days following today. But it's mid June, so that is pretty par for this area at this time of the year.
So we should only see another 2 degrees to make the high 89. By Tuesday the high temp. should drop to 74, but then resume to the low 80s Wednesday
God.
Looking back 12,000 years (an eyeblink in geologic time and not that many human generations ago), we find our northern states were buried under mile-thick ice sheets.
>Heat wave and flooding during ‘Pride Month’...hmmm.<
Your correlation skills are exquisite.

112 here yesterday in Fortuna Foothills. AC held it to 87 inside😂
We had snow on the mountain passes last week, and yesterday the peaks showed some white stuff as well. There was 2 degrees of frost last Wednesday.
It’s literally the middle of June, and we’re in the middle single digits (celcius) this morning. +6 C, which is 43* F
North Idaho was about 30 this morning. Global warming causes cold in summer...
its been rainy for the past few weeks here in Burl Vermont.This weekend has been nice. This week th heat is on along with
the humidity
yep, very hot here on the Colorado Front Range too ... just like every year about this time ... i’ve heard some people refer to this as “summer” ...
If extreme weather is being caused by “climate change” crappola then our planet is cooling. ‘Cause warming decreases extreme weather.
Make up your bloody minds, yah arsholes.
Science is racist!
Next 7 days: Hi 83 Lo 74. Breezy.
Snow in the Rockies, good. Hot in South in the summer, so what?
Oooops!
I forgot to put on my black sox to go with the rest of the ensemble. I feel like one of the Bidens dressed me.
My area N. Alabama had a lot of rain — until I laid 2000 sq ft of sod. Now, it’s in a drought for now and for the long range forecast. Some possible rain 7 to 9 days out :(
They’ve gone from “global warming” to “climate change” to “extreme weather.”
Yup. I ran the wood stove last night. Hope that doesn't make me a Weather Denier...
You, personally, are making the sea level rise!!
So you’re saying you caused the drought?
