Increasing chances for rain ahead, with a few storms Friday
Tonight provides mostly clear skies. We still have a small window of viewing for the Lyrids Meteor Shower, which will wrap up this weekend! Temperatures will be a little milder tonight with a southeast wind flow instead of the northerly breeze we saw last night, with lows in the mid 50s.
Thursday sees our stalled front that has been draped across the Virginia/North Carolina border the last couple of days begin to nudge its way back closer to the region, and that will attempt to throw a couple of more showers our way. Overall, it's a mostly dry day with only a scattered shower or two with highs in the low 70s.
Friday provides a better risk for scattered showers and thunderstorms as that front lifts north as a warm front. One or two strong thunderstorms will be possible along this warm front, though the dynamics at play are not as strong as recent severe weather episodes. That being said, a strong storm or two amidst scattered showers cannot be ruled out, though it's a low risk overall, with high temperatures in the mid 70s. The best chance for a storm or two will be in the middle afternoon. Showers will increase in coverage as a front approaches during the overnight hours, making for a wet stretch to begin the weekend.
Severe Weather Awareness Week 2025
Saturday begins on a wet note with a cold front crossing during the morning. Widespread showers are a good bet with clouds and an overall gross start to the day. However, the day will improve weather-wise with time and the late afternoon should be solid! It'll be cooler with highs in the mid 60s.
Sunday features plenty of sunshine with high temperatures rebounding to near 70 degrees with plenty of sun expected.
Monday sees high pressure still in control with plenty of sunshine expected and highs in the mid 70s in what is shaping up to be another gorgeous day.

Tuesday sees a front approaching late in the day, but we should remain dry before dark. We will warm up out ahead of the front, with highs jumping up into the mid to upper 70s.
Wednesday provides more chances for scattered showers and a rumble or two with highs in the low 70s.
Looking ahead in your extended forecast, there will be chances for rain Thursday and Friday with a series of systems. No particular day is a washout with plenty of dry time expected. We will dry out for Saturday! Highs will be above normal in the 70s.

Northern Lights: The best way to view the weather phenomenon
KANSAS CITY, MO. — As the summer heats up, the chance for Midwesterners to catch the aurora borealis, also known as northern lights, increases. The phenomenon often best seen in states such as Alaska, occasionally makes its way closer to a few other North American states, giving others a chance to take a look up to the sky and marvel at the dazzling light show. Northern lights, infrastructure impacts possible due to 'severe' geomagnetic storm: What to know Sunday, June 1, gave some northern Missourians a better chance to catch the lights. However, it is uncertain when the next best chance to catch the spectacle will be for parts of the midwest. This uncertainty is widely due to the light's appearance relying on 'just right' conditions. These conditions include a mix of interactions between solar wind streaming out from the sun and Earth's magnetic field, according to the NOAA. Here's a few tips to help you better see the lights when those 'just right' conditions come back around: The NOAA suggests for the best viewing opportunity, to head towards the magnetic polls. This means heading more north of your area. It must be dark out to catch a glimpse of the blue, green, and purple lights. This means times between 10:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. are typically best. To ensure darkness, look for areas outside of major cities where light pollution is less intense. Keep up with the NOAA and your local weather team. Download WDAF+ for Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV Trying some of the above tips may help increase your chances of catching the lights in all of their glory. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Neosho River flooding causes Ottawa County road closures
MIAMI, Okla. — Heavy rainfall from recent severe storms has caused the Neosho River in northeast Oklahoma to rise well above flood stage. Moderate flooding is occurring along the Neosho River in Ottawa County. The river is currently sitting at 19 feet and is expected to crest at 20 feet on Sunday (6/8). That has prompted a flood warning for Ottawa County until 9:00 a.m. Monday. However, any rain we get this weekend could cause flood waters to rise above what forecasters are predicting. Flooding around Miami has made it difficult for drivers Friday (6/6), closing Highway 125 near the fairgrounds, along with several other roads throughout Ottawa County. If you see a road covered with water, or barricades blocking a flooded road, Miami Police say it's best to just turn around. 'The fine for driving around a barricade is $560, so just be smart, be safe. We're already going to be strapped as it is with all the flooding that's going on. We have localized flooding throughout the city of Miami right now and other than South Main Street being blocked, Highway 125 being blocked, we have other areas throughout the city that are also blocked that we're dealing with. So, help us out by staying safe. Don't drive around the barricades,' said Miami Police Chief, Stephen Sigmon. Despite the flooding, the O'Reilly Auto Parts Outlaw Nationals Monster Truck Show will take place this weekend (6/6 – 6/7) at the Ottawa County Fairgrounds in Miami. A detour on 69 Highway will take you around Highway 125, which is closed due to rising flood waters. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
