Weekend Weather Preview for 06-25-22

June 23, 2022
By WeatherBug Meteorologist, Alyssa Robinette
One large weather system will cause plenty of chaotic weather across the central and eastern parts of the nation this weekend. At the same time, monsoonal moisture and sea breeze thunderstorms will also play a role in the soggy, stormy weekend.

Saturday

The main weather story on Saturday will be a low pressure system that will be moving from the northern Plains into southern Canada. This will drag a cold front across the northern half of the Rockies and Plains, Upper Mississippi Valley and Midwest. Rain showers and thunderstorms will be likely along this front, with the potential for a few strong to severe thunderstorms in the central Plains and Mid-Mississippi Valley.

Meanwhile, monsoonal moisture will flow northward into the Four Corners region. Rain showers and a few thunderstorms will soak Arizona, New Mexico, southern Utah and southwestern Colorado.

A second cold front will be draped over the South and Southeast for the start of the weekend. This will also result in showers and thunderstorms across Alabama, Georgia, Florida, eastern Tennessee and South Carolina.

There could also be a few light showers in northern New England on Saturday morning.

Otherwise, drier and much more settled weather will be in the forecast across the West Coast, southern Plains and Lower Mississippi Valley and the Ohio Valley into the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.

High temperatures will be in the 50s and 60s for the northern Rockies and far northern Plains on Saturday. Seventies and 80s will be in the forecast for the Pacific Northwest, Great Basin, central and southern Rockies and central Plains into the Upper Mississippi Valley, Upper Midwest and interior New England. The rest of the U.S. will generally see 90s and 100s, with a few 110s in the Southwest and southern Plains.

Sunday

The main low pressure system in Canada will continue to slide to the northeast on Sunday. As a result, a cold front will continue to advance east across the Ohio and Tennessee valleys into the southern Plains, Lower Mississippi Valley and Deep South. Showers and thunderstorms will continue to be likely ahead of and along this cold front. A few gusty thunderstorms cannot be ruled out.

Monsoon moisture will stream even farther northward by the end of the weekend. It will likely be a wash out for outdoor plans in New Mexico and western and southern Colorado, while a few rain showers and thunderstorms will still be possible in Arizona and southern and western Utah.

Besides some sea breeze showers and thunderstorms in Florida, the Eastern Seaboard will be dry to close out the weekend.

The Western U.S. into the northern Rockies and Plains and Upper Mississippi Valley will also see a relatively quiet Sunday.

Temperatures will only peak in the 50s across the central Rockies on Sunday, with 60s and 70s from the northern Rockies to as far east as the Upper Midwest and as far south as the southern Rockies, central Plains and Mid-Mississippi Valley. Eighties and 90s will be found across the rest of the West into the south-central U.S. and then the Eastern U.S., with 100s and 110s in the San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys in California, the Desert Southwest, southern Plains and the Lower Mississippi Valley.
