It’s been a relatively quiet stretch of weather for the southern U.S., but that will change this weekend as severe thunderstorms are expected in the region. Saturday’s severe weather threat appears to be the greatest and is concentrated mainly in Texas. Sunday sees the risk spread east and cover much of the mid-South. Large hail and damaging winds are the primary threats.
It has been a strange week, to say the least, across the Northeast, where eerie scenes of orange skies grabbed headlines as smoke from Canadian wildfires blanketed the region. The Mars-esque pictures were replaced with images of blue skies on Friday as the smoke began to lift. Rain is expected in Quebec and the Great Lakes region this weekend, which should help with firefighting efforts in Canada.
Rapid snowmelt combined with heavy rain last June swelled rivers and streams in Yellowstone National Park. The result was catastrophic flooding in the region that swept away homes, eroded roads and caused mudslides. Nearly a year later, efforts to restore the park to its former glory are still underway.
The tropics remain quiet, but now is a good time to prepare for hurricane season.
