Millions of people in Texas and Oklahoma, including the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, will need to be on alert Sunday as the southern Plains braces for powerful storms packing destructive, hurricane-force wind gusts, massive hail and even some tornadoes.
In its latest update, Noaa's Storm Prediction Center noted that there could be a "derecho potentially developing into this evening and overnight, especially across much of North Texas and southern Oklahoma."
Millions of people along the Interstate 95 corridor on the East Coast are bracing for the threat of severe weather on Sunday, with cities like Washington and Baltimore facing the risk of some tornadoes.
NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has placed a large majority of the eastern U.s. from Georgia in the Southeast to the nation's capital in the mid-Atlantic in a Level 2 risk on its 5-point severe thunderstorm risk scale.
Tropical activity in the Eastern Pacific Ocean continues to heat up, with both Tropical Storm Barbara and Tropical Depression Three-E developing on Sunday morning.
Tropical Storm Barbara is now expected to become the first hurricane of the 2025 season later Sunday or Monday morning. A few hundred miles to the west of Tropical Storm Barbara, Tropical Depression Three-E also formed on Sunday morning and is expected to become Tropical Storm Cosme later Sunday.
And a new area of low pressure is forecast to develop late this week south of southern Mexico. The National Hurricane Center said environmental conditions appear conducive for some gradual development of this future low-pressure system, and a tropical depression could form late this week.
A lightning strike hit a house in Southern California last Tuesday, startling a mom and her two children who were standing just feet away. Tiffanie Buckner was recording the lightning as storms were rolling in, and her 6-year-old daughter, Penelope, was standing in front of the camera the moment a large lightning bolt hit a home in the cul-de-sac behind her.
Thunderstorms are rare in Southern California, with the area averaging less than 10 days a year with reported lightning.

Quiet Monday expected across Maryland; more storms possible Monday night
An upper level disturbance will bring a continued chance for showers and storms through a portion of tonight across the area. The overall threat for severe weather has diminished with the most likely area to see severe storms through midnight south of the Potomac across Virginia and perhaps a portion of southern Maryland. Otherwise showers and storms with heavy downpours and occasional lightning can be expected through midnight. After midnight, the severe threat should diminish as the atmosphere begins to stabilize. Overnight conditions will turn quieter with partly to mostly cloudy skies and lows remaining mild, generally in the mid to upper 60s. Unsettled Start to the Week Monday will start off dry for many, with a mix of sunshine and clouds through the morning hours. However, the break will be brief. Another round of storms is expected to develop by Monday Storm Prediction Center has placed much of the region under a Marginal Risk for severe storms for late Monday, with the potential for damaging winds and locally heavy rain once again. Temperatures on Monday will climb into the low to mid 80s. Again, most of the day will be dry for outdoor activities. Cold Front Arrives Tuesday A cold front will approach and move through the region on Tuesday. The best chance for showers and storms will come during the morning hours, especially east of I-95, as the front sweeps eastward. Behind the front, slightly drier and more comfortable air will begin to filter into the region, though temperatures will remain warm with highs in the low to mid 80s. The passage of this front will mark the beginning of a brief stretch of quieter weather midweek. Warm and Sunny Midweek Forecast High pressure will build in from the west on Wednesday and Thursday, leading to a period of dry and mostly sunny weather. Afternoon highs will approach 90 degrees, especially on Thursday, with noticeably lower humidity and overnight lows dropping into the 60s. This will likely be the most pleasant stretch of the week, offering a break from the repeated thunderstorm chances that have affected the region since the weekend. Stormy Pattern Returns for Father's Day Weekend By Friday, another cold front will begin to approach from the west. Increasing moisture and instability ahead of the front will lead to a renewed chance for scattered storms, especially Friday afternoon and evening. Unlike earlier in the week, this front is expected to slow down or stall across the region, leading to prolonged rain chances that may persist through the weekend. As a result, both Saturday and Father's Day on Sunday could feature periods of showers and thunderstorms, with locally heavy rain possible at times. Temperatures will trend cooler as clouds and rainfall become more persistent. Highs on Saturday and Sunday are expected to fall back into the mid to upper 70s, a noticeable change from the summerlike warmth earlier in the week.
