Storm Team 3: Finally drier and comfortable weather moves in for the weekend
We're tracking a change in the weather pattern today… finally! Thanks to a cold front that moved through last night, we'll see sunshine along with comfortable conditions today. It will remain breezy and dry with highs in the mid 80s, seasonable for this time of year. As a new front lingers around the area tomorrow, we'll see an increase in temperature and moisture as highs reach the upper 80s to lower 90s. This also brings a very low, 10%, chance of a passing or stray shower both Sunday and Monday.
Dry conditions continue into the work week as sunshine persists and highs stay close to 90. Our next real chance of rain with isolated storms moves in for the end of the week as a front begins to develop to our west. Either way, this week will be a great week to get outside with much drier conditions compared to last week!
A reminder as tomorrow is the first day of hurricane season, make sure to tune in to the Storm Team 3 Storm Watch Special that airs tonight at 7pm on WSAV.

San Joaquin County Fair attendance takes a hit during first 100 degree days of the year
STOCKTON – With the heat, people still hit the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds for the annual fair, but it came with its challenges to keep people under shade and out of the high temperatures. A highly anticipated weekend here at the fairgrounds was interrupted by the heat. With triple digits the first two days, the fair says it hurt attendance. But Sunday's cooler 90-degree day helped pick things up. "We have our sunscreen, our hats, our sunglasses, we're gonna stay hydrated. Yeah, we know," a couple said. "We're here for the whole vibe of it all." They chose this Sunday after seeing the high temperatures on Friday and Saturday. "This heat spike out of nowhere, we thought about adjusting time, but once we're out [with our] promotion, we have to stick with it," said Daniel Castillo, CEO of the fairgrounds. Castillo said he and his crew worked hard even during the high temperatures to make things work, but attendance took a hit. "Friday matched up to Friday last year, which was good. Saturday was definitely a lot less," he said. "We totally understand why people would stay away, however, Sunday is always a big day." People are using anything they can to stay cool by staying put in the shade or grabbing a drink from vendors. "We were here since 8 in the morning. It's a good spot! We're here at the entrance, and we're hoping for success," said Henry Luis Gallardo, a vendor of aguas frescas and tostilocos. The lower attendance is not making it as busy as usual for Gallardo and his workers. "The truth, it was a little low Saturday. But today, we're hoping it's going to be a good day for us," said Gallardo. The fair said they'll have attendance numbers for the whole weekend on Monday.

G4 geomagnetic storm predicted tonight, Northern Lights viewing possible across North Alabama
The Space Weather Prediction Center is forecasting a G4 geomagnetic storm to continue during the night of June 1 into the morning of June 2. In order to see the Northern Lights this far south in North Alabama, the Kp index has to be high. The Kp value is something we look at that's associated with the strength of the geomagnetic storm. The center is forecasting a Kp index between 7 and 8 after dark and into the early overnight hours. Around here, we need it to be between 8 and 9 for us to see the lights. The last time we had a spectacular show here in North Alabama, the G4 storm that was predicted strengthened to a G5 and the Kp index was between 8 and 9! The sky should be mostly clear tonight but we will be battling the smoky conditions in our area from the Canadian wildfires. This could hinder viewing. In order to see the Northern Lights you have to get away from city lights and use a long exposure camera, which you can use on your smart phone. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Aurora visibility in St. Louis uncertain due to Canadian smoke
ST. LOUIS – Forecasting the possibility for aurora viewing is incredibly challenging to predict and, like meteor showers, often falls short of expectations. But occasionally, they can overachieve and dazzle as they did several times last year. The initial wave of the solar blast, known as a coronal mass ejection (CME), arrived Sunday morning, much earlier than previously predicted. Remember, I said it's really hard to forecast these things. On Sunday morning, the St. Louis area had a max K-index at about an 8. We still have K-index values a little over 7 and are forecasted to remain in that 7 to 8 range into early Sunday evening. St. Louis needs a K-index of 8 or 9 for us to see the aurora, so we are right on the edge of that going into Sunday night. St. Louis radar: See a map of current weather here On a normal, crystal-clear spring night, I'd say we have a decent shot of seeing something. But this is not an ordinary spring night. Unfortunately, we continue to have quite a plume of smoke blowing south out of Canada, and my gut tells me that is going to really make it tough to get a good showing, even if the geomagnetic storm overachieves this evening. That being said, if you live away from the city lights and have the time, it might be worth giving it a look for a while this evening just in case. You might get lucky! But I wouldn't be shocked if the haze and smoke make things difficult to enjoy. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
