Kansas and Oklahoma were set to be the worst-affected states, with multiple warnings issued for areas of each. There were also severe flood warnings issued for parts of Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, and Indiana. Some of the warnings were immediate, and others stretched over into the coming two days until June 7. "Do not drive into flooded areas or go around barricades," the NWS says. "Nearly two feet of water will carry most vehicles away. Turn around, don't drown. Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the dangers of flooding."

California Severe Gale Warning, 14ft Waves, All Boats Ordered to Safe Harbor
A severe gale warning and hazardous seas declaration affected waters off Northern California on Thursday, with the National Weather Service (NWS) in Eureka urging all boats to seek safe harbor as waves forecast to reach 14 feet and wind gusts to top 40 knots. The warnings applied to mariners from Cape Mendocino to Point Arena, covering a stretch 10 to 60 nautical miles offshore. These warnings meant boaters along the coast faced immediate risk of capsizing or damage due to extreme sea and wind conditions. Interactive maps from showed the affected areas. The Gale Warning, issued at 2:55 a.m. PDT, remained in effect until 9:00 a.m., with a Hazardous Seas Warning taking over until 10:00 p.m. on June 5. There was a separate storm warning for mariners and coastal communities in Oregon from Florence to Cape Blanco, as officials enforced advisories across the region. This round of urgent warnings came as wave heights and winds intensified across the Pacific coast, creating dangerous surf, powerful rip currents, and the potential for maritime accidents. As California moves into its transitional spring-to-summer period, the scope and strength of these NWS alerts raised serious safety concerns for boaters, swimmers, surfers, and beach visitors. Recurring fatalities linked to rip currents and sneaker waves have amplified calls for public caution and compliance with official instructions. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) data showed more than two dozen deaths from rip currents and sneaker waves already in 2025, including four in California, underscoring the life-threatening nature of these hazards. Immediate public awareness and preventive action can mitigate further tragedies. NWS Issues Major Marine Advisories The hazardous conditions off the coast from Cape Mendocino to Point Arena saw north winds of 25 to 35 knots, with gusts up to 40 knots (about 46 miles per hour), and seas building from 12 to 14 feet, according to the NWS Eureka office. The warned impacts included capsizing and watercraft damage along with sharply reduced visibility. Authorities specified that "mariners should alter plans to avoid these hazardous conditions. Remain in port, seek safe harbor, alter course, and/or secure the vessel for severe conditions." Statewide, Warnings Create Widespread Risk Dangerous conditions have extended along California's entire coast throughout early June. From the Oregon border to San Diego, NWS issued a combination of gale warnings, hazardous seas, and beach hazards statements. The situation was not limited to offshore waters. Beach hazard statements remained in effect for the greater Los Angeles, Ventura County, Malibu, and Orange County coastlines due to long-period south swells generating surf to 6 feet and hazardous rip currents. These conditions were forecast to persist through the week, endangering swimmers and surfers alike. Precedent of Recent Fatalities NOAA's tracking showed 26 U.S. fatalities related to rip current and sneaker wave hazards in 2025, including four California deaths: a 39-year-old man and an 8-year-old boy at Cowell Ranch State Beach (January 19), a 43-year-old man at Gerstle Cove (March 3), and a man in his 70s at Rodeo Beach (March 25). Official Guidance for Mariners and Public Authorities repeatedly stressed compliance with safety advisories. Mariners were asked to secure vessels, seek safe harbor, or remain docked while hazardous conditions continued. High winds and elevated wave heights are expected to persist across the California coast through at least late June 5, with gradual easing forecast by June 6 or later, as officials continue to monitor weather developments and urge strict compliance with all marine advisories.

Thunderstorms to follow high heat, wildfire smoke in Massachusetts on Thursday
Massachusetts is in for a sweltering Thursday with soaring temperatures, humidity and a haze of wildfire smoke in the air — all followed with a chance for thunderstorms. An air quality alert has been issued until 11 p.m. for some parts of Eastern Massachusetts by the National Weather Service, as smoke from Canadian wildfires continues to roll in. The affected counties include Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk. The air is considered in the 'unhealthy' range for sensitive children and adults, including those with asthma, lung or heart disease and older adults. Those groups are recommended to limit outdoor activity on Thursday, the Weather Service said. Temperatures are forecast to reach the 90s statewide during the daytime, with sunny skies — minus the wildfire smoke haze — light winds and high humidity. Rain chances rise this afternoon, with showers possible after 1 p.m. in Eastern Massachusetts, 2 p.m. in Central and 4 p.m. in the western part of the state. Isolated thunderstorms and downpours will also be possible, and could continue into the evening, forecasters warned. Temperatures will dip to the high 60s overnight and aren't expected to rebound past the 80s on Friday, the Weather Service said. However, the continued humidity will allow for more thunderstorms to develop throughout the day statewide. Rain is expected to reach Western Massachusetts first on Friday, possibly before noon, with thunderstorm chances increasing after 2 p.m. Central Massachusetts should see rain and storms by around 3 p.m., while Eastern Massachusetts may be hit by storms starting around 2 p.m. Rainfall amounts could total up to a half-inch in Central Massachusetts during the day on Friday, while Eastern and Western may receive up to a quarter-inch. Damaging winds and flooding are forecasters' main concerns from these 'stronger, slow-moving storms,' with pockets of torrential rainfall causing localized street flooding. The storms are projected to continue throughout Friday evening and into Saturday. Forecasters are eyeing a cold front to bring temperatures back down into the 70s by Sunday.
