Hot weather makes a brief appearance this week across Maryland
After a comfortable start to the week, temperatures are on the rise again across central Maryland, setting the stage for what could be the hottest day of the year before a shift to a stormier, cooler pattern heading into the weekend. Tonight, skies will be partly cloudy with lower humidity settling in behind a weak frontal boundary. Overnight lows will drop into the 60s, offering a pleasant and seasonable night for much of the region. Wednesday brings a return to sunshine and summer-like warmth. With high pressure building overhead, skies will be mostly sunny and temperatures will climb into the upper 80s by the afternoon. Humidity levels will remain manageable, but the heat will be noticeable, especially during the peak of the day. Thursday will mark the beginning of a much more humid stretch, with dew points rising and the air turning sticky once again. Partly cloudy skies will dominate, and highs will soar into the low 90s, making it potentially the hottest day of the year so far in the Baltimore area. Heat indices could push into the mid-90s during the afternoon, especially in more urbanized locations. Friday will remain hot and humid, with highs near 90 degrees. While most of the day will stay dry, the added moisture and daytime heating could trigger a few scattered storms in the afternoon and evening. Any storms that do develop may produce gusty winds and brief heavy rainfall. The weather pattern becomes more unsettled over the weekend, with better chances for rain and thunderstorms both Saturday and Sunday. High temperatures on Saturday will reach near 80, with scattered showers and storms possible throughout the day. On Father's Day Sunday, expect highs in the upper 70s to near 80, with continued opportunities for showers and thunderstorms—especially during the afternoon and evening hours. While not a washout, outdoor plans may need to be flexible depending on the timing of storm development. The unsettled weather continues into Monday, as a frontal boundary stalls nearby. Expect mostly cloudy skies, periods of rain, and the potential for a few embedded thunderstorms. Highs will remain in the low 80s. By Tuesday, a lingering shower is still possible early in the day, but conditions should gradually improve with partial clearing expected by the afternoon. Highs will again top out in the low 80s. Looking ahead to Wednesday, drier air returns with sunshine and warm temperatures. Highs will be solidly in the 80s, providing a brief return to fair weather before the next system approaches later in the week.

Flooding the main threat as showers, isolated storms move across North Texas in coming days
Good Tuesday morning! The First Alert Weather Team has been tracking a complex of storms to the west on Tuesday morning as they move into the area. The northern edge of the complex is breaking up as it heads east into Palo Pinto and Parker counties. Some of this activity may hold together as it nears Tarrant County. The southern edge of the line is more robust and is capable of small hail, gusty winds and heavy rainfall. The highest rain chances today are southwest of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and south of I-20. A few afternoon storms in DFW can't be ruled out as we are on the northern fringe of the activity. Temperatures on Tuesday will be cooler south of I-20 due to the rain and clouds, and warmer along the Red River where it remains drier. First Alert Weather days have been issued for Wednesday and Thursday as waves of heavy rain will move through the area. A slow-moving area of low pressure will track across North Texas tomorrow through Friday. Flooding is the main concern, but an isolated severe storm with hail and damaging winds can't be ruled out. Please remember "Turn Around, Don't Drown." Do not try and drive through water-covered roadways, as it is very hard to estimate how deep the water is, and you could put yourself in a life-threatening situation. The low-pressure system shifts east of the area this weekend, allowing for more sunshine, drier conditions and warmer temperatures.

It has never rained on June 11 in Phoenix. Could it happen this year? Here's what to know
Metro Phoenix's dry summer weather isn't surprising. However, residents may be shocked to know that there is one day it has never rained — June 11. Since the National Weather Service began keeping records nearly 130 years ago, Phoenix has only seen trace amounts of rain, meaning the moisture was so light that it was not measurable, according to meteorologist Mark O'Malley. That was in 1991. There are also two other dates — May 30 and June 16 — where just 0.01 inch of rain has fallen, O'Malley confirmed. Why is that? It's because June is the driest month in Phoenix. Here's why metro Phoenix sees such dry weather in June and what to expect this week. June is the driest month for metro Phoenix, O'Malley said. On average, only 0.02 inches of rain falls during the whole month. Most years, including 2023 and 2019, no rain falls during June. "Just to get rain on any single day is an uncommon occurrence," he said. This year, an early June storm system dumped more than an inch of rain around the northern reaches of metro Phoenix, hinting at more moisture ahead than the Valley has seen over recent summers. "The first part of monsoon is not as wet as later in the monsoon," O'Malley said. "You have to pull in a lot more moisture. For Phoenix specifically, we don't start to see thunderstorms due to monsoon until about the beginning of July." News alerts in your inbox: Don't miss the important news of the day.

"We're looking for seasonably warm conditions with high temperatures in metro Phoenix of 105 to 110 degrees and then getting hotter over the weekend," he said. Here is the weather forecast for Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, the official weather station, according to the weather service: June 10: Sunny during the day, with a high near 106. Light and variable wind becoming west 5 to 10 mph in the afternoon. Mostly clear at night, with a low around 81. West wind around 5 mph becoming calm after midnight. June 11: Sunny during the day, with a high near 107. Light southwest wind becoming west 5 to 10 mph in the afternoon. Clear at night, with a low around 81. West wind 5 to 10 mph becoming light west southwest after midnight. June 12: Sunny during the day, with a high near 108. Light and variable wind becoming west 5 to 10 mph in the afternoon. Mostly clear at night, with a low around 81. West southwest wind 5 to 10 mph becoming light and variable after midnight. June 13: Sunny during the day, with a high near 107. Calm wind becoming southwest around 5 mph in the afternoon. Mostly clear at night, with a low around 81. West wind around 5 mph becoming calm after midnight. June 14: Sunny during the day, with a high near 109. Calm wind becoming west around 5 mph in the afternoon. Mostly clear at night, with a low around 82. West wind around 5 mph becoming calm in the evening. June 15: Sunny and hot during the day, with a high near 111. Calm wind becoming west around 5 mph in the afternoon.
