Severe storms to focus on Plains states through Father's Day weekend
The greatest risk of severe weather through the Father's Day weekend will be over the Great Plains, near the edge of moist air to the east and dry air to the west, AccuWeather meteorologists warn. People with travel or outdoor plans through the weekend are encouraged to stay up-to-date with the weather. As thunderstorms grow, conditions can quickly change during the late afternoon and evening hours. As a general rule, "if thunder roars move indoors." •Have the app? Unlock AccuWeather Alerts™ with Premium+ Much of the thunderstorm activity may be widely separated over the vast open places of the Plains. However, some storms may gather to form large groups where more severe weather can occur and move along over considerable distances. Into Thursday night, severe weather associated with a jet stream storm will focus a bit east of the Plains from the mid-Mississippi Valley to the upper Texas coast. These storms can be especially drenching as they will be in the thick of moist air from the Gulf. Farther west, thunderstorms will extend along a 1,200-mile-long zone from West Texas and central and eastern New Mexico to central and eastern South Dakota. Some of the strongest storms in this zone can bring large hail and wind gusts ranging from 60-80 mph. On Friday, the threat of severe thunderstorms will extend across the central and northern High Plains. From Friday afternoon to Friday evening, a greater concentration of severe weather is anticipated from the Nebraska Panhandle to central Montana. Once again, large hail and powerful wind gusts will be the greatest risks to lives and property. Yet another round of severe thunderstorms is forecast for the same general area of the High Plains on Saturday. Even though Saturday's severe thunderstorms during the late-day and nighttime hours will be widely separated, the risk will extend for nearly 1,000 miles from the Oklahoma Panhandle to northern Montana. The Saturday evening storms will bring the risk of a few tornadoes, as well as the same potential for large hail and powerful wind gusts. On Father's Day, the severe weather threat will expand farther to the east across the northern and central Plains. On Sunday, the storms will advance eastward as a solid line, broken line segments or perhaps a large cluster. The storms on Father's Day will carry the full spectrum of severe weather ranging from powerful wind gusts to hail, flash flooding and perhaps a few tornadoes. Want next-level safety, ad-free?

Will it rain again in Boston this weekend? A look at New England's unlucky weather streak.
Boston and New England have had some serious Saturday weather issues this spring, with plenty of rain falling. That might not change this weekend, but it isn't all bad news. In New England, we are trained to endure the long winter and, many times, a rough early spring with the promise of a (sunny) light at the end of the tunnel. We feel as though we "pay our dues" and once Memorial Day hits, it is time to collect. Weekend rain in New England Would you believe it if you heard that this wet Saturday spring pattern has actually been going on for three years now? If you look at meteorological spring (March-May) in Boston: In 2023 it rained on 7 of 13 Saturdays (and that was followed by rain on all 4 Saturdays in June) In 2024 it rained on 7 of 13 Saturdays In 2025 it rained on 8 of 14 Saturdays (and now 1 of 1 in June) CBS Boston Doing a little math, that equates to rain on 55% of spring Saturdays over the last three years. This year may actually be the worst of the bunch. Some rain has fallen in parts of southern New England every Saturday going back to March 22. That is 12 in a row. CBS Boston Will it rain this weekend? We have had some all-day deluges and some grey/showery days, but very few start to finish pleasant Saturdays. This leads us to the BIG question. Can we break the streak this Saturday? The short answer is no, but there are some reasons to be optimistic. The best chance of rain this Saturday is early in the day. We expect widespread showers south of the Mass Pike in the morning and a few, scattered showers to the north. CBS Boston By midday and afternoon, the rain is mostly done. There could be just a few isolated pockets of drizzle but otherwise, we dry out. If you are looking for beach weather, you're going to have to wait at least one more weekend. Temperatures both days will be stuck in the 60s, some 10-15 degrees below the average. Skies will also be mainly cloudy with some sunny breaks here and there. Heading to the Cape? More of the same. Lots of clouds, some breaks and chilly temperatures. The best chance of rain showers comes on Saturday morning. CBS Boston Red Sox and Father's Day forecast The Red Sox will be home this weekend for a big series with the Yankees. They should get all the games in, but it will feel more like April or May rather than mid-June. Last but certainly not least, Sunday is Father's Day. Any and all outdoor plans should be good to go. Whether you're golfing or grilling, it should stay dry all day. Skies will vary from partly to mostly cloudy and temperatures will generally top out in the upper 60s, albeit a tad cooler at the coastline.

Millions in Texas Under Flood Warning, Four Dead After Being Swept Away
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Torrential rains swept through San Antonio early Thursday, leaving at least four people dead and two others missing as fast-moving floodwaters overwhelmed roads and neighborhoods across the city, officials said. A flood warning remained in effect for millions of residents across parts of south-central and southeast Texas, including Jackson and Wharton counties. According to the National Weather Service, between 3 and 7 inches of rain had already fallen in those areas by late morning, with another 0.5 to 1 inch possible. Calls for water rescues began just before sunrise, and by midmorning, emergency crews had performed 65 water rescues throughout the area, according to the San Antonio Fire Department. The victims — two women and two men — were found in the city's northeast, where authorities also discovered 13 vehicles submerged in water. "It's hard to determine at this point exactly how they got swept away," said San Antonio Fire Department spokesman Woody Woodward. "But it is an area where there was high water that was moving rapidly and there were several people that were caught in that water that had climbed up into trees and we did do a couple of rescues out of trees and some rescues out of vehicles." Interactive maps from showed the affected areas. Police Chief William McManus confirmed the deaths but did not release the victims' ages. Fire officials said crews are continuing to search for the two missing individuals. The flooding followed hours of slow-moving thunderstorms and intense rainfall overnight. Eric Platt, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said more than 7 inches of rain fell in parts of the San Antonio area. By late morning, floodwaters had begun to recede, but Platt warned that any additional rain — even light — could worsen conditions. "I don't expect additional rain to be as heavy as overnight, but anything that falls on saturated ground can be a flooding problem," he said.

"Turn around, don't drown," the warning stated, noting that most flood-related deaths occur in vehicles.
