FORECAST: Scattered showers Sunday, drying out during the week
ABOVE: The latest forecast update from Severe Weather Center 9. To stay on top of changing weather conditions, be sure to download our free WSOC-TV weather app. FORECAST: A much quieter day today than yesterday. A couple of mostly weak scattered showers/maybe a thunderstorm well to our north ie, Boone to north of Salisbury, which will die out at sunset, otherwise uneventful. Note, however, the haziness of the sky. This is smoke from Canadian wildfires. MOST of this, so far, is at high altitude and not reaching the surface, which is good, keeping surface air quality levels in check. Let's hope it stays that way. Sunday, the scattered shower/thunderstorm chance goes up a bit for the afternoon/early evening with a new wave of low pressure and front inching back into the local area. The airmass tomorrow will be different than Friday, meaning the potential for strong-severe thunderstorms is significantly less and much more scattered, not zero, but much less. Once we get to Monday, it still looks like we begin a stretch of quiet, dry weather (much needed) and a decent warm up. This should last through Thursday with temperatures rising back to 85-90 by midweek. >> Channel 9's Weather 24/7 stream has the latest local weather all day, every day.

Forecast: Mercury rises as smoke lingers
DES MOINES, Iowa — We've added a couple of degrees to the thermometer even with the smoke aloft Saturday, and we'll do so again Sunday and Monday. Your weather timeline steps you through it: Lows Saturday night will be on the mild side, and we head into a warmer Sunday. Smoke will stick around into Monday. Our next thunderstorm chance comes Tuesday, and it's conceivable that we'll see a stronger storm in southeastern Iowa later in the day. We'll monitor. Rain should wrap up early Tuesday evening. Another rain chance comes for some of us Thursday. Totals for the two rain events could exceed an inch in places. Tuesday's strong storm chance is the only one on tap for the next week or so, as our quiet severe weather season continues. Highs for the next six days are above, and your WHO 13 7-day forecasts below: The extended forecasts below keep us in below-average temperatures, though it appears chances for heavier rain and stronger storms could increase by the middle of June.

Severe thunderstorm warning lifted in DC region
WASHINGTON, D.C. - A severe thunderstorm warning was issued for multiple areas across the D.C. region on Saturday afternoon. FOX 5's Gwen Tolbart reports that the warning was issued in Anne Arundel, Calvert, and Prince George's County. Gusty winds are possible today with up to 30+mph wind gusts. The upper low pulling away and bringing rain to New England. Showers are expected and a few isolated/scattered thunderstorms will be possible along a trailing cold front. While not everyone will see them, elevated upper-level winds could lead to a few of these storms going severe. Tolbart says there is also a chance of an isolated cell with damaging winds or hail. This threat seems most likely earlier in the afternoon. Storms will move Northwest to Southeast. Drier air coming in during the evening hours should then lead to any showers/storms dissipating. High pressure builds in tonight. It will be breezy though as the skies clear in the evening hours, and it will stay dry. Highs in the 70s.

Rare Early June Rainfall Could Reach Phoenix
A storm spinning off the coast of Baja California in Mexico on Saturday was poised to dive into the Southwest United States and drag with it remnants of post-tropical storm Alvin. This system, which is uncommonly wet for this time of year, will bring a rare chance for thunderstorms and brief heavy downpours to the region, especially to southeast California, southwest New Mexico and southern Arizona, including Phoenix, Sunday into Monday. The rain would be much welcome in an area with widespread drought conditions after a winter of below-normal precipitation. 'For this time of year this is quite unusual,' said Mark O'Malley, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service office in Phoenix. The Weather Service's official gauge for the Phoenix area is at Sky Harbor International Airport. It has recorded measurable rainfall in the first week of June on 21 occasions, with records going back to 1896. 'Normal rainfall is zero,' Mr. O'Malley said of the first week in June. There's a 75 percent chance the airport will record rain on Sunday afternoon or evening, with rainfall chances continuing into Monday. A thunderstorm or two could move over the airport and bring half an inch of rain, or the downpour could hit 10 miles west of the airport, and there would hardly be any rain. This unusual weather setup will bring a chance for rain and thunderstorms to most of the Southwest on Sunday into Monday, including southeastern California, southern Nevada, all of Arizona, western New Mexico, the Wasatch Mountains in Utah and portions of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. 'This is a fairly large swath of moisture, so I'd actually say, there's not just a chance of rain, but rain is likely,' said Peter Mullinax, a meteorologist with the Weather Service's Weather Prediction Center. The chances are highest across southern Arizona, southwest New Mexico and southeast California, and the Weather Prediction Center has put this area under a marginal risk — level 1 out of 4 — for excessive rainfall that could lead to flash flooding on Sunday. A slice of Southern Arizona is at a higher slight risk, level 2 out of 4. Mr. O'Malley said that minor flooding on roadways in the greater Phoenix area is possible. Storms occasionally pass over the Southwest in late spring but they're usually dry. Rain is more common during the monsoon season that starts June 15 and lasts into September. 'These storms come through and you'd never know, other than a little wind,' Mr. O'Malley said. 'With this storm, you have that moisture that's being pulled in from Alvin — that's the big difference.' Mr. Mullinax said there's also a strong southerly wind component that's escorting the tropical moisture northward into the Southwest. Alvin formed over the Pacific Ocean off the coast of west Mexico on Thursday, sending pounding surf to west-central Mexico and southern Baja California. The system has since dissipated and was a post-tropical cyclone over the North Pacific Ocean on Saturday.

Storms bring 17 mm of rain to Ottawa over 24 hours: Environment Canada
A person leaps past water flooding an intersection as heavy rain pours down in Ottawa, on Thursday, June 6, 2024. (Justin Tang / The Canadian Press) Ottawa has been hit with heavy rain and thunderstorms on the last weekend of May. Environment Canada says 17 mm of rain was reported at the Ottawa International Airport in a 24-hour period, as of 2 p.m. Saturday. A severe thunderstorm Friday evening brought heavy rain, wind and lightning to the city Friday evening, with some residents reporting seeing hail on social media. Rain continued to fall through the night and into the morning before tapering off in the afternoon in downtown Ottawa. Environment Canada expects that most of the rain has gone but cloudy skies will remain for the rest of the day. Sunday's forecast shows it will be cloudy with a 40 per cent chance of showers in the morning and afternoon. Sun and typical temperatures for this time of year are expected to return Monday, with clear skies and a high of 23 C. A mix of sun and clouds is expected through most of next week before more rain could return Thursday and Friday.
