Forecasters warn this year’s El Niño could become one of the strongest on record, potentially peaking around a 3.9°C anomaly in December and driving higher global temperatures along with widespread droughts, floods, and shifts in rainfall and humidity. The impacts will vary by region and will be tracked with monthly updates, aided by a climate-change–adjusted index that separates El Niño warming from long-term ocean warming.

Weekend showers will spread across the Baltimore region but aren’t expected to ruin plans, with spotty afternoon storms and stronger cells farther south; a building heat wave is expected to push highs to around or above 100°F for three straight days, potentially the hottest stretch since 2011 and possibly the first 100°F spell since 2024, with radar trends and model blends guiding the forecast for early next week.
Baltimore-area enjoys a warm, sunny Father’s Day with highs around 88°F, but a cold front is expected to trigger a line of showers and possibly severe storms Monday afternoon, with a 90% chance of storms, followed by cooler, unsettled conditions into Tuesday and a mix of sun and storm chances later in the week.

Minnesota’s Weather Authority has a Forecast First ALERT for Wednesday as much of the state, including the Twin Cities, is under an Enhanced Risk (Level 3/5) for severe thunderstorms. The first round (midnight–5 AM) may form a squall line bringing damaging winds across western Minnesota, followed by a second round (2–5 PM) near I-35 with large hail and possible tornadoes; the morning clouds’ persistence could dampen the threat or push it east to Wisconsin. Highs in the upper 80s and very humid, with cooler, unsettled weather arriving late week.
A line of severe thunderstorms swept across Minnesota overnight with wind gusts exceeding 80 mph, downing trees and leaving more than 70,000 customers without power as crews raced to restore service; officials warned of more severe weather later Wednesday as hot, humid air meets a cold front.

A low-pressure system crossing the Great Lakes will bring scattered showers and thunderstorms to central New York on Saturday, with an isolated risk of severe storms in spots; monitor local forecasts for updates from meteorologist Sam Postich.
Clear, dry conditions across Southeast Michigan set up ideal Blue Moon viewing tonight, with a micromoon peaking early Sunday. Expect comfortable evenings around 60°F and overnight lows in the 40s–50s, followed by sunny days with highs in the 70s–80s all week and no rain until late Friday; Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury will line up in the western sky after sunset.

A seasonally rare, high-energy storm diving from Quebec is forecast to sweep into New England Friday night through Saturday, delivering heavy rain, 40–60 mph winds, and an unseasonable cold that could drop high temperatures to the 40s–50s; higher elevations like New Hampshire’s White Mountains could see several inches of snow. Seas could reach 8–11 feet offshore. Sunday looks like the best bet for outdoor plans with 60s–70s, but showers remain possible, and unsettled, cooler conditions persist into early June with a potential return of warmer air later next week.
Baltimore is forecast to stay chilly and damp for the next two days, with rain developing this afternoon and lingering tonight into Saturday.
