Hazy sunshine and a few degrees warmer tomorrow
The Latest from Storm Team 5…
It was a nice and comfy day out there as temperatures reaches the 70s away from the water. The wildfire smoke was also quiet thin and stayed well above the ground, which is great news for those that are sensitive too it.
Tonight, it will be another cool night with lows falling into the lower 40s with a few middle to upper 30s in the Northwoods. That has prompted the National Weather Service to issue a Frost Advisory for northern Oconto and all of Marinette and Langlade counties from 1 a.m. until 8 a.m.
Tomorrow will see full sunshine once again with temperatures running into the middle and upper 70s, cooler lakeside. Another batch of wildfire smoke will drift overhead and it will likely stay up there but it will cause the sky to appear milky white at times again.
Heads up, a solar storm is expected to reach earth and peak tomorrow night into Monday morning. Like always it is hard to predict when and with the presence of wildfire smoke, that may hinder the viewing a bit. Either way, head north away from city lights for the best chance at it!
Monday, we get quite warm and a little humid. Temperatures away from the water likely will reach the upper 80s to around 90, lower 80s lakeside. Looks like a thicker batch of wildfire smoke moves in that could mix down to the surface, causing health impacts for those that are sensitive to it.
We get even more humid on Tuesday and our next chance of rain and thunderstorms moves in for the PM, evening and overnight, likely clearing before daybreak on Wednesday.

Hot weather makes a brief appearance this week across Maryland
After a comfortable start to the week, temperatures are on the rise again across central Maryland, setting the stage for what could be the hottest day of the year before a shift to a stormier, cooler pattern heading into the weekend. Tonight, skies will be partly cloudy with lower humidity settling in behind a weak frontal boundary. Overnight lows will drop into the 60s, offering a pleasant and seasonable night for much of the region. Wednesday brings a return to sunshine and summer-like warmth. With high pressure building overhead, skies will be mostly sunny and temperatures will climb into the upper 80s by the afternoon. Humidity levels will remain manageable, but the heat will be noticeable, especially during the peak of the day. Thursday will mark the beginning of a much more humid stretch, with dew points rising and the air turning sticky once again. Partly cloudy skies will dominate, and highs will soar into the low 90s, making it potentially the hottest day of the year so far in the Baltimore area. Heat indices could push into the mid-90s during the afternoon, especially in more urbanized locations. Friday will remain hot and humid, with highs near 90 degrees. While most of the day will stay dry, the added moisture and daytime heating could trigger a few scattered storms in the afternoon and evening. Any storms that do develop may produce gusty winds and brief heavy rainfall. The weather pattern becomes more unsettled over the weekend, with better chances for rain and thunderstorms both Saturday and Sunday. High temperatures on Saturday will reach near 80, with scattered showers and storms possible throughout the day. On Father's Day Sunday, expect highs in the upper 70s to near 80, with continued opportunities for showers and thunderstorms—especially during the afternoon and evening hours. While not a washout, outdoor plans may need to be flexible depending on the timing of storm development. The unsettled weather continues into Monday, as a frontal boundary stalls nearby. Expect mostly cloudy skies, periods of rain, and the potential for a few embedded thunderstorms. Highs will remain in the low 80s. By Tuesday, a lingering shower is still possible early in the day, but conditions should gradually improve with partial clearing expected by the afternoon. Highs will again top out in the low 80s. Looking ahead to Wednesday, drier air returns with sunshine and warm temperatures. Highs will be solidly in the 80s, providing a brief return to fair weather before the next system approaches later in the week.

The most destructive tornado in New England history struck Worcester 70 years ago. Here's what happened.
The violent tornado was on the ground for 84 minutes and grew to over a mile wide, claiming 94 lives. Thousands of buildings were destroyed. Back then, F4 tornadoes were estimated to have maximum wind speeds between 207 and 260 mph. (Since 2007, when the Enhanced Fujita scale came out, both wind speed and destruction are considered when rating a tornado. There's a good chance that the Worcester tornado would have been rated an EF-5 based on the updated system.) There has only been one tornado since that has claimed more lives: the Joplin, Missouri twister of 2011, which killed more than 100 people. Weather setup Advertisement The Worcester tornado was one of four to strike the region that afternoon, spawning from a strong area of low pressure with a powerful cold front interacting with excessive humidity. According to reports from that day, dew points were well into the 70s, priming the atmosphere for explosive storms. When you forecast the possibility of tornadoes, you need four main ingredients — wind shear, lift, instability, and moisture. Wind shear is the change in wind speed and direction with height in the atmosphere. Lift refers to a mechanism to drive moist, warm air upwards in the atmosphere. Instability and moisture are more obvious, but the more humid it is, the more unstable the atmosphere becomes. All four ingredients were present across New England that day. Advertisement It was also the first-ever tornado warning issued by the National Weather Service (known as the U.S. Weather Bureau back then) in New England, but the warning came only after the twister had touched down — debris was already falling out of the sky at the Blue Hill observatory deck — meaning it was too late for many people to seek shelter. A very strong area of low pressure highlighted the surface weather map of New England on June 9, 1953. NWS Path of destruction The monster tornado began its path of destruction over the Quabbin Reservoir near Petersham around 4:30 p.m., tracking to the southeast and crashing into the towns of Barre and Rutland. By the time the clock struck 5 p.m., the tornado had strengthened significantly in Holden, leveling whole neighborhoods. The path of the 1953 Worcester tornado. TornadoTalk The tornado reached maximum strength and severity when hitting Worcester, with Assumption College in its crosshairs. The northern side of the campus, made of heavy brick walls, was leveled. Assumption College just after 5 p.m. on June 9, 1953. Assumption University What's interesting here is that the Worcester hills, specifically Burncoat, may have amplified wind speeds at this point in the tornado's life, increasing the damage and possibly reaching F5 intensity. Hills can impact a tornado's strength, and increasing elevation could have led to stronger winds. The massive tornado continued into Shrewsbury and Westborough, destroying many homes and businesses until finally fading near the Southborough/Framingham line. Three other tornadoes formed that same day, one in Southeastern Mass., an F3, and two in Southeastern New Hampshire — an F3 and F1. Aftermath To put into context just how powerful this tornado was, debris was found as far away as Eastham on Cape Cod, a signal of just how strong the vortex and updraft were from this storm. Books were found — confirmed to be from Worcester — in Provincetown. Advertisement It took years for the region to recover. More than 4,000 buildings were destroyed by the nearly hour-and-a-half tornado, causing the equivalent of $550 million in damage if the event occurred in 2025. June 10, 1953: The worst tornado in New England's history ripped a 25-mile path of death and destruction through six Central Massachusetts communities on June 9, 1953. The tornado which touched down at 4:25 near the town of Petersham continued for 84 minutes ultimately killing 94 people and leaving over 15,000 homeless. This picture from Burncoat Street in Worcester shows the pile of debris left in its wake. The Boston Globe/Boston Globe Assumption College was relocated to Salisbury Street, while Quinsigamond Community College was built in the years after on the land where Assumption once stood. The Worcester tornado bookmarked a multiday severe weather event across the country, spawning epic tornadoes that have now been cemented in the weather history books. The event in early June 1953 spearheaded rapid changes to how the country handled forecasting, including the development of a storm spotter network that dramatically improved the timing of tornado warnings to help people find cover sooner.

Map Shows 2 States Where Children Warned of Breathing Difficulties
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. Air quality alerts continued on Tuesday, with children in two states being warned of "breathing difficulties" if they are exposed to poor air quality. Weather conditions such as light winds and higher temperatures are causing smoke from Canadian wildfires to settle in Ohio, pushing air quality into the unhealthy range, National Weather Service (NWS) observing program leader Brian Mitchell told Newsweek. Why It Matters Smoke from Canadian wildfires prompted widespread air quality alerts across the Upper Midwest, Great Lakes, and Northeast regions over the past few weeks. As of Tuesday, most of the smoke has moved out of the region. However, air quality alerts remain in parts of Ohio and Arizona for fine particulate matter and ozone pollution, respectively. The Air Quality Index (AQI) is expected to be Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups, which includes children and the elderly, in the affected regions. What to Know When inhaled, particles can lodge deep in the lungs and trigger inflammation, while ozone irritates the respiratory system and can exacerbate asthma. Children are particularly vulnerable to the impacts because of their developing respiratory systems and tendency to spend more time outdoors. In Ohio, the air quality alert was issued by the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency and warns of ground-level fine particles affecting the air quality in Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, Medina, Portage and Summit Counties. A stock image shows a child coughing while outside. A stock image shows a child coughing while outside. AaronAmat/Getty "Air quality levels will be unhealthy for sensitive groups during this period. If you are in the sensitive groups category of children, the elderly and those with breathing difficulties, please monitor your outdoor activity and check air quality readings at In Arizona, an Ozone High Pollution Advisory was in place for Maricopa County, including more than a million people who live in the Phoenix metropolitan area. Sunlight can contribute to higher ozone levels, making these alerts more common in the summertime. "This means that forecast weather conditions combined with existing ozone levels are expected to result in local maximum 8-hour ozone concentrations that pose a health risk. Adverse health effects increase as air quality deteriorates," the alert said. "Ozone is an air contaminant which can cause breathing difficulties for children, older adults, as well as persons with respiratory problems. A decrease in physical activity is recommended." In both states, people were urged to avoid worsening air quality levels by driving less, not idling in their vehicles, refilling their gas tanks after sunset, and waiting to mow the lawn. An air quality alert also was in place for parts of Michigan, although people in that state were not warned of breathing difficulties. What People Are Saying Air quality alert in Arizona: "You are urged to car pool, telecommute or use mass transit. The use of gasoline-powered equipment should be reduced or done late in the day." Air quality alert for Michigan: "Surface temperatures well into the 80s, ample sunlight, and west-southwest winds will create a conducive environment for Ozone development along the Lake Michigan shoreline. Residual wildfire smoke in the region may also enhance Ozone development over Lake Michigan." What Happens Next Both alerts are in place throughout Tuesday. More air quality alerts could be issued as smoke is expected to return on Wednesday.
