Short Range Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 312 PM EDT Mon Jun 09 2025 Valid 00Z Tue Jun 10 2025 - 00Z Thu Jun 12 2025 ...Showers and thunderstorms from Texas through the Southeast... ...Record heat in the Northwest will ease a bit by midweek; cool temperatures in the Northeast will moderate... A pair of frontal boundaries will generally be the focus for showers and thunderstorms the next couple of days. The northern system will push through the Northern Plains tonight and into the Upper Midwest tomorrow (Tuesday) and Great Lakes on Wednesday. Rainfall will generally be light except within thunderstorms that may develop, especially over eastern Montana and into the Corn Belt. The southern system will have more moisture at its disposal and will see much higher rainfall totals over a larger area. Texas will be the focus for showers/storms through Wednesday as the stationary front separates cooler air over northern areas and very hot temperatures over South Texas. The front extends eastward into the Carolinas where some heavier rainfall is possible this evening and perhaps overnight. Flash flooding is possible where heavier rainfall occurs, especially in urban areas but also where it has been wet recently. Over the Northwest, record heat today and Tuesday will pose an increased risk for heat-related illnesses. Take precaution during the warmest part of the day. High temperatures will soar well into the 90s and low 100s over the interior and lower elevations away from the water. In addition, breezy conditions pose an increased fire weather risk. Tuesday will still see some new or near record highs from Spokane to Boise to Reno and possibly into Las Vegas. Regardless, HeatRisk values will be Moderate over northern areas and major over the Southwest Deserts (Death Valley may near/exceed 120F). Extreme heat warnings are in effect through Tuesday for the lower elevations. Over the Northeast, clouds and showers today will give way to drier and warmer weather Tuesday and especially Wednesday as readings climb back into the 80s.
