"Main threats include damaging winds and heavy rainfall," forecasters said of the afternoon and evening storm risk. "There is a lesser threat of large hail. And there is a very low chance of tornadoes mainly across southern Middle Tennessee." The timing for the storms will vary across the region, but NWS said the main window is from a severe weather threat is from 1-6 p.m. The CMA Connect app will send out real-time alerts about when stages are closed, where attendees can shelter and when it is safe to return to outdoor stages.

Experts warn of cold water dangers during hot weather this weekend
As temperatures rise this weekend and early next week, jumping into bodies of water can be tempting. Sunday and Monday will be the hottest days in the Puget Sound area, ranging from the 80s to the low-90s, but experts advise people to swim with caution. Although it will be hot outside, the water will still be dangerously cold, according to a Friday news release from the National Weather Service's Seattle office. Surface-level water may seem warm, but the real risk lies deeper in the water, experts warn. This early in the year, bodies of water aren't necessarily warm enough to swim safely. 'We're still early in the season and waters are still running cold and fast and we've already had cold water-related fatalities this year,' the news release said. A Facebook post from East Pierce Fire & Rescue on Friday urged caution, because even experienced swimmers can lose muscle control. 'Chattering teeth, shivering, or blue lips when swimming?' the post said. 'Those are reminders to get out of the water and rewarm.' Those planning to enjoy the water this weekend should wear a life vest, the post said. After Monday, National Weather Service forecasters expect cooler weather.

Oklahoma is drought free after nearly 6 years, but will it last? Weather experts weigh in
For the first time in nearly six years, the state of Oklahoma is drought-free. The U.S. Drought Monitor reported zero areas of drought across the state for the first time since July 2019. Over the past seven months, widespread and heavy rains have replenished soil moisture and restored water levels in local lakes, state climatologist Gary McManus said on the June 5 Oklahoma Mesonet ticker. First, November 2024 was the wettest November on state record. Then, in April 2025, Oklahoma experienced a statewide average rainfall of 8.74 inches, surpassing the previous April record of 8.32 inches set in 1942. Phil Ware, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Norman, said rainfall was above normal in May, as well, and so far in June. "We just had kind of repeated rounds of showers and storms over the Southern Plains," Ware said. "So that basically meant that we had several low pressure systems that moved across the plains, and we had a lot of moisture that was brought up from the Gulf of Mexico. And that provided the fuel for, in general, a lot of rain in April ... So the three consecutive months of above normal rainfalls is what put a big dent in the drought." via Imgflip The most recent drought episode really began in August of 2021, McManus said. During the two years before that, there were small areas of drought throughout the state. It was a year later, August 2022, when the city of Oklahoma City drew water from Canton Lake to replenish its drinking water source at Lake Hefner — the first time since 2013, which devastated the lake and the surrounding community, which relied on the tourism income the lake brought. Not only did Oklahoma communities struggle with drinking water, but the agricultural industry was impacted heavily, McManus said. Crops were lost or not able to thrive to begin with, bringing down financial losses on Oklahoma farmers. "When you look back at the impacts, it was really probably a multi-billion-dollar disaster for the state of Oklahoma," McManus said. "When you're looking at agriculture alone, you're well over a billion dollars through (the second half of 2021 through 2024)." There are other impacts, too, McManus said. Tourism took a hit, as well as homeowners who dealt with damage to foundations from contracting soils. And, he added, Oklahomans "can't forget the fire seasons that we had during that time frame, too." Conditions are favorable to hold the drought at bay, at least for the next few weeks, McManus said. But especially in an Oklahoma summer, what's called a "flash drought" can happen very quickly. McManus added that during the summer, while we may tire of the heat, too much rainfall can be a bad thing. "If we continue to get too much rainfall, you're putting Oklahoma's winter wheat crop in jeopardy," McManus said. "This time of year, you really want to rainfall to start slacking off and the heat to come back and cure that wheat crop." Summer outlooks suggest potential challenges ahead. The Climate Prediction Center predicts that Oklahoma may experience above-average temperatures and below-average precipitation throughout June, July and August. But that's not "set in stone," Ware clarified. "These seasonal outlooks, they're kind of an educated guess," Ware said. "It's based on the data that we have, but there's definitely all these examples of times where it kind of goes the opposite direction of what you'd expect." This Oklahoma Mesonet map displays drought severity levels across Oklahoma, and here's where Oklahoma stands for each level: D0 (Abnormally Dry): 9.83% D1 (Moderate Drought): Zero D2 (Severe Drought): Zero D3 (Extreme Drought): Zero D4 (Exceptional Drought): Zero These classifications are based on various data, including precipitation, soil moisture, streamflow, and vegetation health.
