Plenty of sunshine today, tracking smokey return
Tonight: Mostly clear, low 48
Monday: Sunny skies, high 79 (56)
Tuesday: Sunny & warmer, high 85 (65)
Wednesday: Clouds increasing, high 88 (68)
Thursday: Showers/ t-storms, high 84 (67)
Mainly sunny skies will be the primary theme for Sunday. With less smoke and clearer conditions this is going to be the better of the two weekend days. Temperatures to kick off the month of June are still going to lean on the cooler side only reaching the low 70s.
Overnight continues the calm weather over the area. With a center of high pressure in the Ohio River Valley, winds will become very light. Very cool temperatures stick around with low temperatures in the upper 40s. This is about 10 degrees colder than it should be for this time of year.
Much warmer conditions arrive by the start of the work week. Highs starting Monday will reach the upper 70s under mostly sunny skies. This will be the warmest day in central Ohio in over two weeks. Another round of Canadian wildfire smoke is forecast to move back into central Ohio by Monday evening.
There will be moments through at least the first half the week that bring in thicker smoke plumes at times. This is all going to occur under mainly clear skies. Temperatures will increase every day through the middle of the week. By Wednesday highs are expected to reach the upper 80s.
Next chance for showers and storms returns late Wednesday along a frontal boundary. This system will become stationary by the time is arrives to central Ohio. Rain continues through the end of the workweek and some of the weekend.

Steamy start to South Florida work week, a few spotty showers possible
South Florida kicked off the new work with a warm and muggy morning as temperatures hovered in the low to mid 80s. Highs will climb to the low 90s in the afternoon. It will feel like the triple-digits when the humidity is factored in. The chance of rain is low but spotty showers are possible this afternoon. There is a low risk of rip currents along the Atlantic beaches on Monday. The risk of rip currents is forecast to increase over the next few days due to rougher surf and large swells that are expected as Hurricane Erin passes to the east. Wave heights could reach 2 to 4 feet along the Atlantic beaches by mid to late week. Keys waters. On Tuesday, Erin will continue to lift northward and is forecast to make its closest pass to the peninsula to the east. The wind will veer more out of the north. A few coastal showers will be possible during the morning hours and then scattered storms will develop in the afternoon and evening. Highs will rise to the low 90s and it will feel like the 100s when you factor in the humidity. The chance of rain increases mid to late week with scattered storms around every day. It will be slightly hotter, with highs around 93 degrees. The National Weather Service may issue heat advisories if heat indices reach 105 degrees for 2 hours or more. For the upcoming weekend, the chance of rain isn't high but some passing storms will be possible on Saturday and Sunday.

Much of North Texas under heat advisory Monday, with feels-like temps reaching 107
North Texas is starting out the week warm and muggy. The Metroplex will be dry on Monday, while areas to the west are seeing scattered showers and storms. Rain through midday will be focused west of I-35, but the entire region has a 20% chance of a storm Monday afternoon. Severe weather is not expected but heavy rain, lightning and gusty winds are possible. Temperatures will heat into the upper 90s this afternoon with feels-like temperatures in the triple digits. Much of the North Texas region, from the Metroplex to the east, is under a heat advisory until 8 p.m. for feels-like temperatures as high as 107. Tuesday will be the hottest day of the week, with air temperatures hitting 100 degrees in some areas. The forecast high in DFW is 99 degrees with lots of sunshine and an isolated afternoon storm. Heading into Wednesday, a front will move south from Oklahoma, increasing the chances of showers and storms in North Texas. The front will continue to move south into Thursday, with rain chances likely greater along and south of I-20. The clouds and rain will help keep temperatures down a bit, with highs in the mid-90s.

Northern Lights Tonight: 15 States Could See Aurora Borealis
About 15 states have a shot at seeing a northern lights display on Monday night amid minor geomagnetic storms, according to a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecast, before the chance of seeing aurora borealis declines later in the week. About 15 states may see the northern lights tonight. (Photo by) Getty Images Monday night's northern lights could have a Kp index as strong as 5, a measure of the lights' strength on a scale of 0 to 9, indicating an aurora display that is 'brighter' and 'quite pleasing to look at,' according to NOAA's forecast. NOAA projected minor geomagnetic storms between Monday night and Tuesday morning, measured at G1 on a scale of G0 to G5. Geomagnetic storms can create stronger displays of aurora borealis as the increase in solar wind accelerates electrons in Earth's magnetic field, according to NOAA. NOAA's preliminary northern lights forecast for Tuesday is weaker, with an expected Kp index of 3 and no geomagnetic storms. Alaskans will have the best chance at seeing the lights, according to NOAA's forecast. Other states with a moderate likelihood of catching the aurora include Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin. States included along NOAA's projected 'view line,' the point at which likelihood of seeing the aurora is lowest, include Wyoming, South Dakota, Iowa, New York, New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine. What's The Best Way To See The Northern Lights? To boost chances at seeing the aurora, NOAA recommends finding a high vantage point, traveling as far north as possible and steering clear of light pollution. The lights are most visible between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. local time, NOAA says. Travel photographers told National Geographic some best practices for capturing the aurora include using a tripod for stability, using a wide-angle lens and a low shutter speed. For iPhone users, the camera app's night mode can help make the lights pop. Key Background The northern lights have been particularly active over the past year because the sun is in its 'solar maximum,' a period during its 11-year cycle in which solar activity is heightened. During the solar maximum, the sun experiences more geomagnetic storming, coronal mass ejections and other events that can produce strong aurora displays. But this solar maximum has exceeded scientists' expectations, and NASA said last year the northern lights hit a 500-year peak. NASA scientists expect northern lights displays to remain frequent until about 2026, after which point the solar maximum will end and solar activity will begin to decline. Geomagnetic storms have produced especially notable lights shows in recent months, including some displays visible as far south as Florida and Texas. In October, an especially powerful X9.0-level solar flare, the strongest of this solar cycle, produced auroras that were visible in many states.
