Northeast faces another wet weekend as back-to-back storms threaten
NEW YORK – If the weekend forecast in the Northeast sounds familiar, that's because it is. More rain and thunderstorms are expected across the region, marking the sixth out of the past seven weekends that precipitation is in the forecast.
"Outdoor plans are good for today," FOX Weather Meteorologist Marissa Torres said. "By tomorrow, things are getting hairy."
How To Watch Fox Weather
The FOX Forecast Center said the first of back-to-back storm systems will approach the region on Friday. This system was also responsible for the severe weather and flooding in the central U.S. earlier this week.
Forecasters said a warm front passing through will bring showers during the early-morning hours on Friday.
Then, warm and humid air will surge in behind that front and help build up energy in the atmosphere, leading to the development of some thunderstorms during the afternoon hours.
The FOX Forecast Center said those storms could produce strong wind gusts and hail, but weak wind shear – the change in wind speed and direction with height – will keep the overall threat of severe weather low.

"Good chunks of the Northeast stay dry on Friday, but we also could see some rain around," FOX Weather Meteorologist Stephen Morgan said. "I mean, it's going to be scattered."
Right on its heels, a second storm system will drop out of the northern Plains and make its way to the east by Saturday.
Buzzwords You Could Hear During Severe Weather
"There are arguable moments where we could really be in, kind of like stuck in the heavy rain, but regardless, we'll take it one day at a time," Torres said. "So, Saturday, we do have the risk of some thunderstorms. And that goes from Boston all the way down into the northern part of Florida."
The FOX Forecast Center said that there is high confidence that it will rain on Saturday, but details beyond that remain extremely uncertain.
Stay Or Go? Trusting Your Gut Can Be Lifesaving When Multiple Weather Warnings Are Issued
One computer forecast model shows the system moving through the Northeast and bringing rain to the interior portions of the region, with thunderstorms closer to the Interstate 95 corridor from the Southeast to New England. It then moves out of the region by Sunday.
The second scenario brings rain and thunderstorms to the entire region on Saturday and then stalls as it gets cut off from the jet stream.
That would lead to days of rain across the mid-Atlantic, while New England stays dry.
Regardless of which scenario comes to fruition, rain is forecast in cities like New York City and Boston.Original article source: Northeast faces another wet weekend as back-to-back storms threaten

Tropical Storm Dalila could form in Eastern Pacific by end of week as hurricane season continues fast start
The Eastern Pacific hurricane season is running a month ahead of schedule in terms of named tropical cyclones, and odds continue to increase that a fourth named storm could form in the basin by the end of the week. The average date of the first hurricane in the Eastern Pacific is June 26, but the 2025 season has already seen its first hurricane develop in Barbara, which briefly reached Category 1 strength on Monday. Barbara became a post-tropical area of low pressure Tuesday night as it tracked over cooler waters, which are unable to sustain tropical storms. Why Atlantic Hurricane Season Is Off To Slow Start While Eastern Pacific Buzzes With Tropical Activity Similarly, Tropical Storm Cosme, which is spinning more than 500 miles southwest of the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California Peninsula, is forecast to follow Barbara and become a remnant area of low pressure later Wednesday morning as it moves over cold and inhospitable waters, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC). After forming over the weekend, the NHC expects Cosme to completely dissipate by late Thursday or Friday, with no impacts to land. Meanwhile, the NHC is monitoring a broad area of low pressure several hundred miles south of southern Mexico. This area to watch has a low chance of developing into at least a tropical depression in the next two days and a high chance in the next seven days. If it attains tropical storm status, it will be named Dalila. It is expected to take a similar track as Barbara, according to the FOX Forecast Center. What's The Difference Between A Tropical Depression, Tropical Storm And Hurricane? Early Wednesday morning, the NHC identified a second area to watch for tropical development in the Eastern Pacific due east of the first area to watch, offshore of southern Mexico and Central America. This area is being given a low chance of development over the next seven article source: Tropical Storm Dalila could form in Eastern Pacific by end of week as hurricane season continues fast start

Why Atlantic hurricane season is off to slow start while Eastern Pacific buzzes with tropical activity
The Eastern Pacific hurricane season has gotten off to a fast start, with three named storms already forming since the beginning of the season on May 15. Meanwhile, since the start of the Atlantic hurricane season on June 1, the basin has remained void of any tropical activity. "This is the overall pattern you would expect for the month of June, where you watch (tropical) waves, but nothing is going to come to fruition," FOX Weather Meteorologist Stephen Morgan said. On average, the Eastern Pacific Basin sees its first named storm on June 10, its second by June 24 and its third by July 6. Alvin, Barbara and Cosme all formed in less than two weeks, marking a fast start for the ocean basin. Saharan dust usually does not reach far enough east to affect the Eastern Pacific; the dust is lifted north toward the U.s. before it can interfere with Eastern Pacific storms. According to the FOX Forecast Center, the lack of storms in the Atlantic so far has been caused by three unfavorable atmospheric conditions over the basin, including the current water temperatures, wind shear and Saharan dust. The Saharan dust, which is known for suppressing tropical activity in the basin, limits the ability of tropical showers to develop and grow. Meanwhile, persistent wind shear prevents tropical disturbances and waves from organizing. Barbara Weakening In Eastern Pacific After Becoming First Hurricane Of 2025 Season "Hurricanes, tropical cyclones, do not thrive in an environment that is a high-shear one. Any sort of development that you would think could be possible here with these little waves, the shear will choke them off," Morgan explained. While water temperatures are warm enough to support development, they are not as favorable as they have been in recent years and are part of the reason for the lack of formation in the Atlantic. There is currently a high chance of another tropical cyclone developing in the Eastern Pacific over the next seven days, while the slow start in the Atlantic shows no signs of increased activity and is perfectly normal for this time of year, according to the FOX Forecast article source: Why Atlantic hurricane season is off to slow start while Eastern Pacific buzzes with tropical activity

Photos: Couple returns to Biltmore for dream wedding after Helene squashed original plans
Eight months after Hurricane Helene interrupted one couple's wedding plans at the Biltmore Estate, the lovebirds returned to the historic site to finally have the wedding of their dreams. On May 31, Jansen and Travis returned to the estate to have the dream wedding they originally planned to have before Helene. Photos from the ceremony show the couple standing under an arch of light peach and lavender blooms, surrounded by their wedding party and guests on the front lawn of the Biltmore Estate. A member of the Biltmore team, who became ordained on the day of the storm to officiate Jansen and Travis's impromptu wedding, officiated their dream wedding, as well. "It's a powerful reminder that love, backed by community and perseverance, always finds its moment," Biltmore officials said in a statement. "Biltmore and the Asheville area are open, resilient, and welcoming travelers and destination weddings after Tropical Storm Helene." Jansen and Travis Putnam were preparing for their wedding ceremony at the Biltmore last fall when Helene wreaked unimaginable damage around the Asheville destination and throughout western North Carolina, forcing those inside the Biltmore to shelter in place. Couple Gets Impromptu Biltmore Wedding Amid Helene As Stranded Guests Save The Ceremony The couple were faced with the possibility of having to cancel their wedding. However, within a matter of hours, the hotel staff and guests organized a small, impromptu ceremony for the bride and groom, allowing them to tie the knot. When Helene struck, it dropped nearly 30 inches of rain – or about four months' worth – in only three days in parts of western North Carolina. The storm caused deadly floods and mudslides that completely reshaped, or in some cases, destroyed some towns. How To Watch Fox Weather Damage caused by Helene around the Biltmore Estate forced the historic site to temporarily shut down. It then reopened on Nov. 2, in time for their annual event "Christmas at the Biltmore." The story of the Biltmore Estate goes back to 1888, when George Vanderbilt visited Asheville for the first time and began buying land for what would become his new country home. According to Biltmore officials, Vanderbilt chose the area because he was captivated by the beauty of the Blue Ridge article source: Photos: Couple returns to Biltmore for dream wedding after Helene squashed original plans
