Arizona weather forecast: Rain on the way for the Valley and high country
The Brief Phoenix is bracing for rare early June rainfall this Sunday and Monday, fueled by moisture from Tropical Storm Alvin. This type of widespread June rain in Phoenix is exceptionally unusual, with the last comparable event occurring in 1914. Expect up to a half-inch of rain in Phoenix and three-quarters of an inch in Flagstaff, with a temporary cool-down before triple-digit temperatures return by Thursday. PHOENIX - The news you want to know is about all the rainfall headed our way. You want to know how rare this is? This storm that we're expecting over the next 48 hours – the last time this has happened was 1914. We had rainfall on June 1 in Phoenix – that was in 1896. And if you just take in the last week of May to the first week of June, it's only happened 14 times since 1896. It's wild. Taking a look at our futurecast, the moisture from Tropical Storm Alvin is going to head north and continue through Monday morning. What's next Now we're expecting it in Flagstaff to last a lot longer than in Phoenix by several hours. All this is expected on Sunday. Taking a look at what we can expect a little bit more closely: rain and thunderstorms for both Flagstaff and Phoenix; the heaviest this Sunday night into Monday midday. In Flagstaff, you can get up to 3/4 of an inch of rain. A little bit less in Phoenix, where we could get up to about a half inch. This is probably the most we'll see, but road ponding is possible. Timeline Sunday night is your 60% chance in Phoenix for rain. And if you're looking into Flagstaff, there's an 80% chance on Sunday night, going into Monday morning. We believe that the rainfall will last a little bit longer into Monday morning - midday timeframe, whereas in Phoenix, it'll probably stop right around the morning commute. Here's a look at our 10-day forecast: you're going to have to hold off on those temperatures for a bit. You'll have to get through this partly cloudy Saturday of 102° as your high. But as you look, we're rewarded not just with the rainfall Sunday into Monday, but the temperatures we're going to be in the 90s for a little bit. That'll be a nice little break before Thursday, when they return to the triple digits.

Beneficial, wet weather will aid wildfire concerns in Atlantic Canada
[Improving weather conditions has helped fire crews in Newfoundland and Labrador]( battle a blaze near located near Churchill Falls, with more rain in the forecast for the Atlantic region this weekend. The rainfall won't be excessive by any means, but will help quell the ongoing blaze near Churchill Falls and lower the overall wildfire threat in Atlantic Canada. DON'T MISS: Amounts could hit 20-30 mm in Newfoundland, a big assist to the fire crews, but gusty winds on Saturday could reduce the amount of help the rain provinces. Up to 50 mm of rainfall is possible in parts of New Brunswick through Sunday. In fact, parts pf northern Labrador could even see some snow this weekend--not the first time that's happened in Canada this late in the spring (or even the second), either. The fire danger rating has gradually improved, and is expected to continue easing over the coming days. A low-pressure system is set to track from the northeastern United States into the Maritimes on Saturday morning, delivering widespread rain to all three provinces by the afternoon. As this system shifts northward, scattered rain is forecast to persist in the Maritimes through the evening, and move into Newfoundland during the overnight hours. Most significantly, Labrador will see substantial rainfall starting late Saturday night. Rain will dominate much of Sunday across Labrador before easing into the evening hours. Parts of northern Labrador will even face a slight risk of snow. DON'T MISS: Unfortunately, strong wind gusts of 40-60 km/h are forecast throughout Saturday for Labrador, including Churchill Falls. Up to 20-30 mm of rain is expected in Churchill Falls, which will assist in wildfire efforts. Residents should remain prepared however, for any changing conditions.

Heavy rain; Isolated flash flooding possible Saturday
All is quiet around the region tonight, but that will change as we move towards dawn Saturday morning. Our storm system looks to be tracking a bit further inland, bringing some of the higher rainfall totals to our region, and increasing our risk for flash flooding. Although most of our larger waterways look to remain within their banks (Otter Creek is the only spot expected to enter 'Action Stage') but sharp rises on smaller streams and creeks could wash out dirt roads and clog culverts. Rainfall totals range between 1-2″ for most folks, but some isolated locations east of the Green Mountains could reach 2-3″+ The clouds hold on Sunday, but we're only left with a few sprinkles or spot showers and temperatures climb into the upper 50's and lower 60's for both days this weekend!

Monsoon arrives 15 days early in Nepal
Kathmandu: The monsoon climatic effects have entered Nepal 15 days earlier than normal timings as the nation is expected to have above-average rainfall this year. According to the weather bulletin of the Meteorological Forecasting Division under the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology, monsoon clouds have spread across most districts of Koshi province and have caused light to moderate rainfall. Usually, the monsoon clouds start entering Nepal from June 13, but this time, they entered a fortnight earlier than usual. They typically last until the end of September. "This year, monsoon clouds entered the country 15 days before the normal onset date," the met office announced in the bulletin issued on Friday. Further adding, "It will take a few days for the monsoon clouds to reach the rest of the places. Impacts of western winds and local winds continued in the rest of the areas." The Met Office has predicted that Nepal is likely to witness above-normal monsoon rainfall this year. Nepal, on an annual basis during the monsoon season, faces disasters such as floods, landslides, and inundation, resulting in loss of lives and properties. Continuous downpour over three days last year resulted in widespread damage to properties as well as loss of about 200 lives due to the monsoon-induced disaster. As the Himalayan Nation is bracing for above average rainfall this year, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA) has predicted that around two million (19,97,731) people from 4,57145 households could be affected by monsoon-related disasters. According to the projection, the districts of Lumbini province will be affected the most in the monsoon, 5,23,656 people from 119,830 households will be affected. This is followed by the Bagmati--327, 376 people from 74,914 households, Gandaki--287,107 people from 65,699 households, Koshi 275,867 people from 63,127 households, Madhesh--228,687 people from 52,331 households, Sudurpaschim--227,730 people from 52,112 households, and Karnali province--127,308 people from 29,132 households.
