Weather Monday June 3 2024 Fair in the Northeast and California, central Texas t-storms north to the Dacotas

On Monday, the threat of severe thunderstorms moves east of the dryline asupper-level energy moves over the Southern Plains/Lower MississippiValley. Therefore, the SPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/5) of severethunderstorms over the Southern Plains/Lower Mississippi Valley fromMonday through Tuesday morning.  The hazards associated with thesethunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts,hail, and a few tornadoes.Moreover, the energy that produces the showers and thunderstorms willcause heavy rain over the Middle/Lower Mississippi Valley and SouthernPlains. Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) ofexcessive rainfall over parts of the Middle/Lower Mississippi Valley andSouthern Plains from Monday through Tuesday morning. The associated heavyrain will create mainly localized areas of flash flooding, with urbanareas, roads, small streams, and low-lying areas the most vulnerable.On Tuesday, the threat of severe thunderstorms will decrease slightly overthe Upper/Middle Mississippi Valley and Central Plains. Therefore, therewill be a Moderate Risk of severe thunderstorms over the area.However, the threat of excessive rainfall will continue over theUpper/Middle/Lower Mississippi Valley and Central/Southern Plains.Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessiverainfall over parts of the Upper/Middle/Lower Mississippi Valley andCentral/Southern Plains on Tuesday. The associated heavy rain will createmainly localized areas of flash flooding, with urban areas, roads, smallstreams, and low-lying areas the most vulnerable. Meanwhile, onshore flow and a steady stream of upper-level energy overthe Pacific Northwest will trigger rain and snow melt over parts of thePacific Northwest into the Northern Intermountain Region from Sunday intoMonday. Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) ofexcessive rainfall over parts of the Pacific Northwest through Mondaymorning. The associated heavy rain will create mainly localized areas offlash flooding, with urban areas, roads, small streams, and low-lyingareas the most vulnerable.Additionally, the heavy rain and snow melt will develop over parts of theNorthern Intermountain Region. Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight Risk(level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over parts of the Northern IntermountainRegion through Monday morning. The associated heavy rain will createmainly localized areas of flash flooding, with urban areas, roads, smallstreams, and low-lying areas the most vulnerable.Moreover, heavy rain and snow melt will develop over parts of the NorthernIntermountain Region on Monday. Therefore, the WPC has issued a SlightRisk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over parts of the NorthernIntermountain Region from Monday into Tuesday morning. The associatedheavy rain will create mainly localized areas of flash flooding, withurban areas, roads, small streams, and low-lying areas the most vulnerable.Furthermore, a developing upper-level ridging will build over Californiaand continue over southern/western Texas, aiding in spawning HeatAdvisories over western/southern Texas and Central California.
