0.50 here to wake up the frogs. 00Z guidance a bit less rainfall through Day 10 than prior guidance but still looks wetter.

65 / 54 and clearing partly sunny. One the way to a gorgeous day. Near / low 80s for most. Wed (6/14) more clods and scattered showers and storms as ULL moves through the Catskills. Thu (6/15) a repeat of Tuesday with mostly sunny and near / low 80s. Friday is similar to Wed with clouds and showers moving through and cooler. The weekend split looks reversed clouds and lingering storms and showers before a splendid fathers day (6/18). The period 6./19 - 6/26 ULL # 4 , 5, 6 and where will they cut off under the building ridge. Latest guidance favors the Ohio valley and into western VA / Carolinas with strong onshore flow into the area. We'll have to see the eventual progression but this keeps the area capped near / below normal and pending o location(s) of these cut offs and tendency for weakness into the E to back troughs in, could spell rain chances. Beyond there we'll see if the building furnace into the Rockies and S plains/ TX//OK ejects pieces to end the month o a hotter note. Watching for the Western Atlantic Ridge to build west as we close the month.

A man and his daughter were killed in one of three homes that were obliterated southwest of "Heytman," a small railroad station on the Mississippi River. 60 buildings and eight homes were destroyed in Wisconsin. This tornado caused approximately $200,000 in damage. In addition to this tornado, another estimated F4 tornado moved northeast across Fayette and Clayton Counties in northeast Iowa.

71 and muggy Dewpoint at 64. Mostly cloudy, although there could be a some sun poking through a bunch of times. Storms this afternoon and overnight into the overnight. 0.50 - 0.75 with some spots getting over an inch in the heaviest storms. Tue (6/13) clears and it is a gorgeous day low 80s. Wed more clouds / scattered storms as the ULL slowly lifts out of the northeast. Thu (6/15) looks like a carbon copy of Tue /low 80s and mainly sunny conditions. Fri (6/16) looking like a copy of Wed with clouds and scattered storms. The coming weekend looks split with a clear / sunny Sat (617) and more clouds and showers fathers day. Beyond there. Ridge flexes into the Rockies / S Plains and as t comes east a trough cuts off under the burgeoning ridge and it sets up ULL #4 with 5, 6 potentially lingering through 6/25. The period 6/19 - 6/25 looks similar to Memorial Day weekend only the cut looks poised to impact the N Mid Atlantic / Northeast as ridge / heat build into Canada. We'll see how it progresses but potentially onshore flow (how long could it go) and how much rain can reverse the dryness. We've seen similar progressions with near normal / cool Junes before the heats builds down to end June.

66/57 and a SSW wind with partly cloudy skies and a warmer with highs in the low perhaps mid 80s depending on clouds arrival. ULL #3 is cutting off over the Great Lakes and will slowly progress east over the next 5 days. A low with in the cut off torugh will push through later Mon (6/12) and Tue (6/13) bringing a widespread .50 - 0.75 or more rain to the area. First meaningful widespread rain since May 20th (outside the isolated storms last Tue). Overall near normal the ret of the week with highs upper 70s / near 80 Wed (6/14) and low 80s Thu (6/15). Chances for clods and scattered showers storms Wed. Cut off lifts out by the end of the week. Beyond there the Euro flattens the flow and warms it up gradually by fathers day (6/18) into the following week. We'll see if the weakness and tendency for cut off into the east shifts more north. Strong ridge and heat build into the Rockies and S plains and pieces ejecting east the final 9 - 10 days of June. GFS and ECM control had some su tropical in the way beyond.

Portions of Jones County experienced flash flooding as 3 inches of rain fell in just 1.5 hours over saturated ground.

71 and mostly sunny. Another splendid weekend on tap but rainfall needed. Upper 70s and low 80s today and with smoke out of the way and full sunshine we'll see if the recent dryness allows highs to exceed guidance. Sun (6/11) mid to perhaps upper 80s. Low cuts off under the building ridge (#3 since May with tendency / weakness into the NE). First meaningful / measurable rain comes later Mon (6/13) into Tue (6/14) with a general 0.5 - 075 / 1.00 inches for most. The ULL lifts through Wed (6/15) and near normal temps for the rest of the week. Beyond there we'll see if we get a fourth cut off and onshore tendency between 6/16 and 6/19. Ridge and heat building into the Rockies / Plains and GL by the last 10 days of june and we'll see pieces eject east. A more typical progression from the past Junes 2015,16,18 perhaps.

Last measurable rainfall (outside of the storms on Tuesday) was May 20th for most. Monday PM / Tue (6/13) looks like widespread measurable rain for most. 76 here today.

Debris from the tornado fell in the Boston area, and adjacent Atlantic Ocea. (David Ludlum) (The Weather Channel) 1966: Hurricane Alma made landfall over the eastern Florida panhandle becoming the earliest hurricane to make landfall on the United States mainland. 1972 - A cloudburst along the eastern slopes of the Black Hills of South Dakota produced as much as 14 inches of rain resulting in the Rapid City flash flood disaster.

Milton, FL, was deluged with 15.47 inches in 24 hours. Record heat and prolonged drought in south central Texas left salt deposits on power lines and insulators near the coast, and when nighttime dew caused arcing, the city of Brownsville was plunged into darkness.

63 and clear for now. Looks to cloud up later today with some scattered showers possible but not widespread.. Trough and subsequent (#3) ULL/cut off lift out and flow goes around to the SW (westerly) pushing us back towards to normal. With enough sun Sunday (6/11) and Mon (6/12) could over perform mid / upper 80s in the warm spots. Next ULL cuts off (#4) under the advancing expansion of the ridge 6/13 - 6/17 into the Great Lakes and slowly moves into the northeast. Southerly flow could deliver meaningful rain in the period Tue (6/13) and later in the week. Clouds look to be nearby but any clearling will see a warmer more muggy result. Beyond there ridging is moving east but a persistent weakness into the east coast will continue the tendency to cut off ULL underneath the ridge. Ridging looks to potentially build towards the final 8 - 9 days of the month.

The book was published in 1860. "The next summer was a cold one of 1816, which none of the old people will ever forget, and which many of the young have heard a great deal about. There was ice and snow in every month of the year. I well remember on the seventh of June, while on my way to work, about a mile from home, dressed throughout with thick woolen clothes and an overcoat on, my hands got so cold that I was obliged to lay down my tools and put on a pair of mittens which I had in my pocket. It snowed about an hour that day."

63/44 limited clouds but smoky skies continue. More upper 70s / near 80. Its a battle between overperforming warmth due to the recent dryness and smoke keeping it cooler - so would go mid / upper 70s. A bit cooler Thu (6/8) and Fri looks cloudy and chance of some showers/storms in the afternoon as front comes through. The ULL start to life out of the Northern NE by this weekend and the trough flattens. The weekend looks mainly dry (once past Friday evening / overnight). Warmer SW flow by Sun (6/11) and Mon (6/12) and depending on enough sunshine could push temps to the upper 80s and 90 n the warm spots. Heights rise into the east and yet another ULL cuts underneath the ridge and presses east 6/13 - 6/15. ECM has a more northward track and GFS a bit closer. Either way, a period of clouds and potential meaningful rain. Beyond there towards the other side of the mid month a warmer overall shift. Perhaps more typical shower/storm chances s well and some heat with building sauna out west.
