Today's Weather Outlook

June continues to be off to a sunny start for some, while the rest of the nation will see showers and storms. 

Today’s weather will primarily be shaped by multiple high and low pressure systems, along with an extended stationary front in the Southern U.S. 

Throughout the day, scattered showers and thunderstorms could be anticipated throughout the Great Plains and the Southeastern U.S. along with extending into Texas and New Mexico. There is a possibility that these thunderstorms may be severe. The greatest chance of dangerous storms will be in central North Dakota, western South Dakota, northwestern Nebraska and far eastern Wyoming. The main concerns associated with these thunderstorms will be damaging winds and hail. However, an isolated tornado should not be ruled out. 

Additionally, the tallest peaks of the Rockies in Montana, Idaho, and northwestern Wyoming could pick up some wet snow or a mix of rain and snow. Northwestern Montana and northeastern Idaho may face continuous showers throughout the day. 

Eastern New England may also see isolated showers, especially in the afternoon and evening hours. 

Meanwhile, the rest of the U.S. can expect clear or partly cloudy skies and to remain dry. 

Temperatures will reach the 50s and 60s in the coolest spots of the northern Rockies and northern New England. In the Pacific Northwest, Great Basin and extending into the Northern Plains, the Midwest, Mid-South and the Mid-Atlantic, high temperatures are anticipated to be in the 70s and 80s. Meanwhile highs in 90s are expected in the Desert Southwest, the South-Central U.S., and in the Gulf Coast states.
