Father's Day looks mostly dry, warmer in Twin Cities, but storms ahead
The Father's Day forecast looks mostly dry and warmer in the Twin Cities, though some storms could develop later on south of the metro.
With a few breaks in the clouds, temperatures will warm into the mid to upper 70s.
More storms are expected to develop Monday, especially in the afternoon and evening. With ample instability in place, those could turn severe, so WCCO has issued a possible NEXT Weather Alert. There is still uncertainty with specific timing and placement, but hail, wind and even tornadoes are all possible.
Highs will continue to trend up into the 80s for most of the week, with a few more chances for storms.
The end of the week looks drier as the pattern tries to break for some sunshine.

PGA Tour Makes Announcement on US Open Weather Delay During Final Round on Sunday
PGA Tour Makes Announcement on US Open Weather Delay During Final Round on Sunday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The U.S. Open has been dealing with rain throughout the tournament at Oakmont and faced a lengthy weather delay during the final round on Sunday. Initially, golfers were playing through the rain before play was halted. Advertisement Prior to the delay, NBC indicated on the broadcast that play was likely to continue as "electricity" was not expected in the area. This was another way to say that the PGA Tour was optimistic since lightning was not expected at Oakmont. This theory only lasted a few minutes before the PGA Tour halted the U.S. Open as a result of "dangerous weather." Sam Burns walks to the first green with an umbrella during the second round of the U.S. Open golf tournament at Shinnecock Hills in Schneidler-Imagn Images "Play was suspended at the U.S. Open at 4:01 p.m. ET due to dangerous weather," the PGA Tour revealed in a Sunday message on X. This delay lasted one hour and 39 minutes as the PGA Tour announced play was scheduled to resume at 5:40 p.m. et. Some fans may have been confused tuning into NBC only to see Tiger Woods competing in the 2008 U.S. Open as the classic major was shown during the delay. Despite no formal timeline announcement initially, the prognosis for the length of the delay did not appear promising. Advertisement "(US Open) could be facing a lengthy weather delay as thunderstorms approach Oakmont. PA," Fox 13's chief meteorologist Paul Dellegatto noted while posting a picture of the radar. Fans are hoping to see Sam Burns, Adam Scott and the field of golfers finish the U.S. Open on Sunday. Back in March, The Players playoff was pushed into Monday. The U.S. Open being completed on Sunday is now dependent on the weather and daylight cooperating at Oakmont. NBC's Mike Tirico reported that the U.S. Open could withstand a two-hour weather delay and still finish the final round on Sunday. The delay ended up lasting less than two hours indicating the final round could be completed as scheduled.

Here's why Alaska just issued its first heat advisory
Parts of Alaska are under heat advisories for the first time in recorded history, following the transition from a previous advisory system, according to officials. The National Weather Service previously issued information about high temperatures using special weather statements. However, starting June 1, the weather service permitted heat advisories to be issued in Alaska, Adam Douty, a senior meteorologist with AccuWeather, told USA TODAY. The National Weather Service might have implemented the new system "just to better convey the impacts" of the heat, Douty said. Hawaii and the other 48 states in the contiguous United States already use heat advisories, making Alaska the last state to switch to the warning system. Areas across the state are seeing highs in the upper 80s, according to Douty. However, further up north, temperatures dip, with areas of Alaska seeing temperatures in the 60s. The heat advisory in Alaska will be in place from 1 p.m. on Sunday, June 15 to Tuesday, June 17 at 7 p.m. local time, according to the National Weather Service. Areas in the Central and Eastern Interior, including Tanana, Fairbanks, Fort Yukon and Eagle, should expect temperatures from 85 to 89 degrees. "It'll definitely be warm, especially for Alaska's standards," said Douty. There are also flood advisories in northern parts of the state, as ice and snow in the area could melt rapidly with the heat, according to Douty. Some areas in Alaska are also under red flag warnings until 11 p.m. local time on Monday, June 16. "A Red Flag Warning means that conditions are occurring or will occur which could lead to the development of large and dangerous fires," according to the National Weather Service. Areas under red flag warnings are: Dalton Highway Summits Yukon Flats White Mountains High Terrain South of the Yukon River Julia is a trending reporter for USA TODAY.

Canadian heat waves far more likely in the era of climate change
"When it's in the 40s outside, it's warmer in here. And, it just goes on for weeks," said Julie Leggett, a resident of Nee Glasgow, N.S., in an interview with The Weather Network in 2024. Heat waves can be especially dangerous for people without air conditioning. SEE ALSO: So, you might want to buy one soon, if you're in Eastern Canada, as another hot summer is in store, according to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC). 'In the East, the probability for a warmer-than-normal summer, on average, is highest. It's definitely higher in the East than elsewhere," said Jennifer Smith, an ECCC meteorologist, in a recent interview with The Weather Network. Last summer, 37 heat waves across the country were analyzed as part of a pilot rapid extreme weather event attribution system. The goal is to quantify how human-caused climate change impacts the likelihood of heat waves shortly after they occur, in an effort to help inform adaptation planning. The system works by using climate models to compare the frequency of heat waves during the 1800s, when atmospheric greenhouse gas levels were lower before the Industrial Revolution. A colour-coded scale was created to indicate how much more likely an extreme weather event was to occur, specifically because of human influence on the climate. Last year, four events--all in Canada's North--were 'far more likely," while 28 events were much more likely and five were more likely. It's already been used this year to analyze a four-day heat wave that occurred in Alberta at the end of May. 'Averaged over all of Alberta, the peak temperature during the event was nearly 29 C, which is more than 11 C above normal for this time of year," said Bill Merryfield, a ECCC research scientist, in a recent interview with The Weather Network. The Alberta heat wave was at least two to 10 times more likely to occur in the climate of today, classified as 'much more likely to occur because of human activity.' The four 2024 Northern Canada heat waves were 10 times more likely--so, in other words, far more likely. 'We can expect similar events to occur more often as our climate continues to warm," said Merryfield.
