Tens of millions of Americans from the Midwest to the Southeast are going to have another tense week as concerns grow that the U.S. could be rocked by another multiday severe weather outbreak.
March typically marks the beginning of the active spring severe weather season, and this renewed risk comes after a deadly severe weather outbreak swept across the nation last week.
This week, forecasters will monitor the potential for strong to severe thunderstorms as we approach the middle of the week and again as we get ready to welcome the weekend.
An arson investigation is underway after a series of brush fires on Long Island in New York injured at least two firefighters as flames consumed hundreds of acres in Suffolk County over the weekend.
The fires, which are now being called the Westhampton Pines Fire, ignited during the late-morning and early-afternoon hours on Saturday and appeared to be fueled by a combination of low humidity and gusty winds that reached speeds of up to 40 mph.
Suffolk County officials said the fire was fully knocked down and 80% contained as of Sunday afternoon.

What is the Florida weather forecast for Father's Day? What to know
Before you get ready to fire up the grill or make your Father's Day beach plans, it might be a good idea to check the weather. Dad's day comes right as Florida traditionally serves up afternoon thunderstorms and surprise rain showers. It also comes right after the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season starts, and the National Hurricane Center is currently watching three tropical waves out there. But experts aren't expecting anything to develop any time soon. "None of the reputable forecast models are showing a realistic chance of anything tropical forming on the Atlantic side of Central America through mid-month," said Dr. Ryan Truchelut, chief meteorologist with WeatherTiger. But this is Florida, so that doesn't mean dad won't get wet. Rain is possible across the state, but the Peninsula is forecast to have a greater-than-33% chance of precipitation from June 14 through the 18th, according to the National Weather Service's Climate Prediction Center. North and Central Florida are expected to have their historical amounts of rainfall and South Florida may be dryer than usual. For this time of year, that still means rain. Feeding dad: Father's Day 2025 food deals and specials for fast food, restaurant chains in Florida As of June 9, the NWS is forecasting: , western Panhandle: Showers and thunderstorms are expected all week into the weekend, with an 80% chance of rain on Sunday as of June 9. Weekend temps are expected to be in the mid 80s. , central Panhandle: Showers and thunderstorms likely all week, mostly in the afternoons. Chance of rain is 70% during the weekend, with highs in the low 90s. , North Florida: Chances of showers and thunderstorms will increase through the week with an80% chance of precipitation on the weekend. Weekend temps will be in the low 90s. across to and down to Stuart: Showers and thunderstorms possible in the mornings and afternoons all week, with a 50% chance Saturday and a 40% chance Sunday. Temps in the 80s. to : South Florida: Storms possible all week, with 50% chance of precipitation on Saturday and Sunday on the east coast, 60% on the Gulf Coast. Temps in the mid 80s. to , Southwest Florida: Scattered showers and thunderstorms possible all week, with high heat indexes around Fort Myers in the beginning of the week. By the weekend, expect isolated showers and a 50% chance of rain, with highs in the low 90s.. Father's Day is always the third Sunday in June. This year that's Sunday, June 15. Mother's Day started as a commercial holiday in 1908 and was made an official holiday in six years later by President Woodrow Wilson. Father's Day started in response to Mother's Day with the first celebration in 1910, but it took six decades to become official. According to the country's first event explicitly in honor of fathers occurred as a one-time event in 1908 in memory of the 361 men killed in the Monongah, West Virginia mining disaster that left more than a thousand children without a dad the year before. It had been suggested by Grace Golden Clayton, the daughter of a minister. A year later, Sonora Smart Dodd, who was one of six children raised by a twice married, twice widowed Civil War veteran, began advocating for a day to honor the "loving service" of fathers. In 1909, she talked the Spokane Ministerial Association to honor fathers nationwide for their dedication to their families and by 1910, Washington became the first state to celebrate a statewide Father's Day. Father's Day celebrations were slow to be accepted, with some calling a day for gifts and flowers unmanly and others calling for a single Parents Day. But shops promoted it during the Great Depression as a way to get people to spend money and it took off during World War II as a way to support the troops. Presidents Wilson and Calvin Coolidge both recognized it, but it wasn't until 1966 that President Lyndon B. Johnson issued a proclamation designating the date. President Richard Nixon made it a permanent national holiday in 1972. This article originally appeared on The Daytona Beach News-Journal: Father's Day forecast for Florida is stormy and hot.

Severe weather, flooding threaten millions from Gulf Coast to Northeast
A new workweek is ushering in a new severe weather threat for millions of Americans from the Gulf Coast in the Southeast northward into New York state in the Northeast. It's been a wild few days in terms of severe weather impacts, including deadly storms that tore across portions of Mississippi and Georgia over the weekend, and a reported tornado that tore through an Oklahoma city last week. And on Sunday, Texas was hammered by powerful storms producing 100-mph wind gusts and grapefruit-sized hail. There were also reports of possible tornadoes in Virginia on Sunday. How To Watch Fox Weather On the heels of another wet weekend in the Northeast, another area of low pressure will strengthen as it sweeps across Canada and moves off to the east as we enter into the new workweek. The cold front associated with the system will stretch across the Midwest and eventually push into the Northeast on Monday. The stronger front will move through the Great Lakes and into the Northeast, bringing more chances of rain and some strong to severe thunderstorms. The FOX Forecast Center said the main threat from storms that develop will be damaging wind gusts, but a tornado can't be ruled out in parts of the Ohio Valley and Northeast. Download The Free Fox Weather App Strong to severe thunderstorms are also possible across the Southeast on Monday, putting millions of people from the Gulf Coast to the Tennessee Valley at risk. However, the FOX Forecast Center said that the intensity of the storms won't be near what has been experienced over the last several days in the region. Storms were firing up in the Southeast early Monday, and more are expected as the storm system continues on its journey off to the east. Watch Vs. Warning: Here Are The Differences Between These Weather Terms That Could Save Your Life By Monday afternoon, the system should help trigger additional storms as it moves into a warm and humid environment. The best potential for severe storms may set up across parts of central Mississippi and Alabama, where conditions could become more favorable for stronger and more organized storms. However, there is still some uncertainty about how fast this system will move, which will impact where the highest risk will develop. How Public Safety Officials Notify You During Severe Weather Emergencies Depending on the evolution of the storms on Monday, there could be an increase in the severe weather threat level. The main threats from storms that develop will be damaging wind gusts. Cities at risk of severe storms on Monday in the Southeast include Jackson and Tupelo in Mississippi, Mobile and Montgomery in Alabama, Atlanta and Savannah in Georgia, Nashville and Chattanooga in Tennessee, Columbia in South Carolina and Charlotte in North Carolina. Advice For Dealing With Storm Anxiety When Severe Weather Threatens It's not only the severe weather that's putting millions of people on alert as the new workweek gets underway. Torrential rain could lead to some flash flooding across portions of the Southeast and Northeast. Noaa's Weather Prediction Center (WPC) has placed a large portion of the Great Lakes region and interior Northeast in a Level 2 out of 4 flash flood threat on Monday. How Heavy Is It Really Going To Rain? The FOX Forecast Center said a narrow band of deep moisture and instability will help to support periods of heavy rain, with rainfall rates of 1-2 inches per hour possible. The greatest risk of heavy rainfall and possible flooding will focus on Pennsylvania and western and central New York, which is where storms may train, or move repeatedly over the same areas. This will increase the risk of flooding. As a result, Flood Watches have been issued from north-central Pennsylvania, including Scranton, into much of western and central New York, including Syracuse. These Are The Rainiest Hour And Minute In American History There is also a growing flood concern in the Southeast on Monday. The WPC placed portions of six states in the Southeast in a Level 2 out of 4 flash flood threat on Monday. This threat zone includes cities such as Montgomery and Mobile in Alabama, Tallahassee in Florida and Atlanta in Georgia.

Hurricane Barbara forms in Eastern Pacific becoming first of 2025 season
Hurricane Barbara formed southwest of Mexico in the Eastern Pacific Ocean on Monday morning, making it the first hurricane of the 2025 season. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) said that Barbara's maximum sustained winds reached 75 mph, officially designating it as a hurricane. Once a tropical storm's winds reach 74 mph, it's called a hurricane and maintains the same name it had when it was a tropical storm. Hurricane Barbara is currently located about 155 miles southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico, and is being monitored by the NHC. The NHC said rainfall totals of 2-4 inches, with locally higher amounts, are forecast for the Mexican states of Guerrero, Michoacan, Colima and Jalisco through Monday, raising concerns of flooding and mudslides. In addition, large waves at local beaches are expected to cause life-threatening rip currents. A few hundred miles to the west of Barbara, Tropical Storm Cosme is forecast to intensify into a hurricane later Monday. Cosme is moving toward the west-northwest near 6 mph, and this general motion is expected to continue through Monday, the NHC said. A turn toward the north with a decrease in forward speed is expected Monday night, followed by a faster north-northeastward motion from Tuesday through Wednesday. Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 65 mph with higher gusts, the NHC said in its latest advisory. Rapid weakening is expected Tuesday night and Wednesday. Tropical Storm Cosme Forecast To Become Hurricane Later Monday In Eastern Pacific An area of low pressure is forecast to develop later this week south of southern Mexico. The NHC said environmental conditions appear conducive for some gradual development of this future low-pressure system, and a tropical depression could form late this week or over the weekend. According to the NHC, it has a medium chance of development over the next seven days. The Eastern Pacific hurricane season runs from May 15 to Nov. article source: Hurricane Barbara forms in Eastern Pacific becoming first of 2025 season
