Following a few days of wet weather across the Atlanta area, the storm threat will diminish, but the chance for showers and thunderstorms will linger through the weekend.
A storm system will bring unsettled weather through the end of the week with a few showers and thunderstorms crossing the region.
"With the clouds and precipitation, temperatures will be several degrees below average for early June with a high near 80 degrees," AccuWeather Meteorologist Carl Erickson said.

As the storm system weakens and moves off to the east, overall coverage of precipitation will be diminished Thursday.

However, there will be enough moisture around for a spotty shower or thunderstorm, he added.

Highs on Thursday will hover in the lower 80s.
"Typical weather for early June will be in place Friday with times of clouds and sunshine, afternoon temperatures climbing into the middle 80s and a stray afternoon thunderstorm," Erickson said.

Those in the Atlanta area can expect partly sunny skies, warm air and humidity over the weekend with highs in the middle 80s both Saturday and Sunday.
Parts of the area could have a thunderstorm late Saturday or Saturday night," Erickson said.

Many lives have been claimed by recent natural disasters, from flooding in the central U.S. to the Nepal earthquake and brutal India heat, and many more have been left homeless and vulnerable.
Rounds of flooding rain killed at least 31 people in Texas and Oklahoma and destroyed hundreds of homes late in May, according to the Associated Press. The worst river flooding in recorded history occurred along the Blanco River in San Marcos, Texas, while portions of Houston and Dallas were left under water.

Could El Nino Help Bust the California Drought?

By Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather.com Senior Meteorologist

June 2,2015; 8:03PM,EDT

 

With El Niño being a major player in the demise of the Texas drought, the question is will the same phenomenon help funnel heavy rain into drought-stricken California.

El Niño occurs when ocean water temperatures climb above average across the central and eastern Pacific, centered around the equator.
According to AccuWeather Meteorologist Ben Noll, "The warmer sea surface water strengthens the storm track over the Pacific Ocean and across the southern United States, especially during the winter, spring and autumn months of the year."

ADVERTISING

The storm track during the summer is generally weak and disrupted by high pressure off the Pacific coast of North America.

How stormy the pattern becomes moving forward into the winter is generally associated with the strength of El Niño or how warm the tropical Pacific waters become.
This spring, the pattern has contributed to rounds of heavy rain in Texas to the point of not only breaking the drought, but also causing destructive and deadly flooding.

Earlier in May, the pattern also helped to funnel some moisture into California, but with exponentially much less impact when compared to Texas and the southern Plains.
Some episodes of rain can occur in California over the summer, but these would not have major and long-lasting impact on the drought. A few such episodes can occur during the first 10 days or so of June.
If El Niño is going to have significant impact on California, it will likely be during the winter.

El Niño began during the late winter and early spring of 2015 but was rather weak. On average, an El Niño lasts nine to 12 months.
According to AccuWeather Meteorologist Mark Paquette, "There is uncertainty about how long El Niño will last and when it will peak."
There is some indication that the current El Niño pattern will strengthen and will peak sometime in the autumn of 2015.
"If this is the case, then California has a good chance at being pretty wet for the upcoming winter," Paquette said. "Conversely, if El Niño peaks at moderate level or weakens by early fall, it becomes more dicey in terms of storms and rainfall for California."
The El Niño of the winter of 1997-98 was one of the strongest on record and delivered storm after storm to California. The storms unloaded 20-30 inches of rain in California with yards of snow in the Sierra Nevada.
Another variable is where the storm track takes aim. Sometimes the parade of storms focuses along the northern part of the Pacific coast.
Drought conditions have been building in Washington and Oregon in recent months. A trend which is expected to worsen through the summer and could lead to a rough wildfire season.

Because of the uncertainty of the strength of El Niño, as well as the rainy season storm track months from now, people should not count on a wet winter to wipe out drought in California or building drought in Oregon and Washington.

Severe Storms to Fire Over Northern Plains Into Midweek.

By Brian Lada, Meteorologist

June 2,2015; 8:02PM,EDT

 

 

Locally severe thunderstorms will affect parts of the northern Plains through Wednesday.
"It could be a big day for severe weather both Tuesday into Wednesday," said AccuWeather Severe Weather Expert Henry Margusity.

Damaging wind gusts and large hail are likely to be the most widespread dangers, although a few tornadoes may spin up with the strongest storms.
"It's a little early in the season for tornadoes in [the northern Plains], but the pattern is highly amplified and is why that area will get hit," said Margusity.

Typically, severe weather in the northern Plains does not ramp up until the middle of summer.
This will give people across the northern Plains a reminder of the kind of weather to prepare for as we head into the summer months and severe weather occurs on a more regular basis.
Here are five safety steps to take to prepare for severe weather.

Andres Weakens; Hurricane Blanca Develops

By Brian Thompson, Meteorologist

June 2,2015; 8:01PM,EDT

 

 

Andres has begun to weaken over the eastern Pacific, but a new threat has developed closer to Mexico.
Andres became a tropical storm Thursday in the eastern Pacific, becoming the first tropical storm of the eastern Pacific season, which runs from May 15 to Nov. 30.

Andres strengthened significantly on Sunday, reaching major hurricane status, but has started to weaken as the storm tracks to the west into an area of cooler ocean water well to the southwest of Baja California.

ADVERTISING

Andres is expected to stay well away from the Mexican coastline. However, there will still be higher surf and an increased risk for rip current early this week along the coast of Baja California and western Mexico. This includes the cities of San Carlos, Cabo San Lucas and Mazatlan.

ADVERTISEMENT

As of Tuesday afternoon, Tropical Storm Blanca became a hurricane after taking shape off the coast of southern Mexico. The tropical system will threaten coastal areas into this weekend as it moves slowly over the open ocean.

Blanca will have a greater chance to bring direct impacts to Mexico as it strengthens throughout the week.
The storm will meander off the coast of southern Mexico for the next 48 hours before moving northwestward during the second half of the week.
The expected track will take this new tropical threat parallel to the Mexico coastline, keeping the worst conditions well offshore; however, large surf and dangerous rip currents will increase as the week progresses along the coast of Mexico from Acapulco to near Puerto Vallarta.

While the heaviest rain will remain offshore, the increase in moisture will lead to enhanced showers and thunderstorms across parts of Guerrero, Michoacan, Colima and Jalisco this week. Flooding is expected to be localized.
In the longer range, a track toward Baja California is possible; however, tracking over cooler waters would likely result in significant weakening before any landfall were to occur. Regardless, there will be an increased risk for showers and thunderstorms across the southern Baja this weekend and early next week.

When Will the Northeast Warm Up Again?

By Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather.com Senior Meteorologist

June 2,2015; 8:00PM,EDT

 

 

Following a southward push of cool, dry air at midweek, clouds, showers and higher humidity will return to the Northeast.
According to AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Elliot Abrams, "How warm or cool people feel for the rest of the week is complex due to areas of clouds and sunshine versus rain and humidity."
The routine movement of weather systems is slowing to a crawl as an atmospheric traffic jam sets up over the Eastern states.
While the bulk of rain will focus on the Southeast states with an ongoing risk of flash flooding, clouds and rain will march north into the Northeast again as the week progresses.

ADVERTISING

First, dry air will advance southward across New England, New York state and parts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey into Wednesday.
The most sunshine will occur across the northern tier during the middle part of the week. Where the sun will be out for several hours, it will warm up.

Farther south, in much of Virginia and the Delmarva Peninsula, clouds and times of rain will assist with the cool feel through the middle days of the week. The cool conditions follow a May that brought well above-average temperatures to the region.

Moisture will creep back northward later in the week.
According to AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Dave Dombek, "The moisture will be accompanied by higher humidity levels and an uptick in spotty showers and thunderstorms for locations that had clearing or a break in rainfall at midweek."

Despite the forecast resurgence of moisture, a day-to-day washout is not likely.
High temperatures in much of the northern tier of the Northeast will be in the 70s by Friday.
Temperatures will rise along with humidity in the southern part of the mid-Atlantic later in the week. In these areas, the weather will transform from cloudy and misty conditions to that of spotty downpours, breaks of sunshine and AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperatures at summery levels mainly in the 80s.
To add to the complexity of the pattern in the Northeast, in areas where a breeze develops off the Atlantic Ocean, conditions will be cool and clammy. RealFeel Temperatures may be no higher than the 60s.
Another southward push of dry air and clearing is forecast for part of the Northeast and the upper mid-Atlantic this weekend. However, that push of dry air may once again run out of steam as it reaches Virginia and the Delmarva Peninsula.

Rescue efforts are ongoing on the Yangtze River in the Hubei province of China after a cruise boat ran into stormy weather.
According to AccuWeather Meteorologist Anthony Sagliani, "A stalled frontal boundary nearby at the time of the accident was causing numerous thunderstorms with gusty winds in the area."
Reuters reported that more than 430 people remain missing. A dozen people have been rescued, and six bodies have been recovered according to Reuters.

Rescue efforts are ongoing in the approximately 15 meter (50 feet) deep water, and more adverse weather may hamper search operations over the next day or two.
"Because of the stalled front, additional showers and thunderstorms with the potential for strong winds will continue to affect the region over the next 24-36 hours and may make rescue efforts even more challenging," Sagliani said.

 

Rain to Soak Southeast, Raise Flooding Risk During First Part of June

By Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather.com Senior Meteorologist

June 2,2015; 7:58PM,EDT

 

 

The weather pattern that delivered drenching rain and flooding to Texas and the southern Plains during May will soak the Southeast states for the next week or two.
Many locations in the South have received less than 50 percent of the average rainfall during May and could benefit from the wet weather pattern.
While many areas will receive needed rain in the pattern, some locations may get too much rain at one time, leading to the potential for flooding.

ADVERTISEMENT

The wet pattern could also do more than spoil a day at the beach or pool. Downpours can slow travel on the roadways, while locally strong storms could lead to airline delays.
A southward dip in the jet stream will set up east of the Mississippi River this week. The jet stream is a river of air that guides weather systems along and separates cool air to its north from warm air to its south.
The pattern will pump Gulf of Mexico moisture in across the Southeast.

ADVERTISING

The combination of a moist atmosphere with strong June sunshine and cool air aloft will lead to pockets of strong thunderstorms and torrential rainfall.
According to AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Dan Kottlowski, "The wettest weather will set up just east of the jet stream dip and this axis of wet weather will meander farther east and farther west over the next couple of weeks."

This means some days the worst of the rain will be focused along the Atlantic Seaboard and other days the rain will expand to the Appalachians and even part of the Mississippi Valley.
According to AccuWeather Meteorologist Todd Miner, downpours will raise the risk of flash and urban flooding in the Carolinas.

"The same setup will draw copious amounts of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico and set the stage for tropical downpours in Florida this week," Miner said.
Speaking of tropical moisture, an area of disturbed weather over the Caribbean is being watched for slow development over the next week as it drifts northward.
"We believe that disruptive winds aloft will prevent rapid development of the system as it drifts northward across Cuba, the Florida Straits and the Bahamas late in the week," Kottlowski said.
Kottlowski stated that it is possible the system may develop once it gets north of the Bahamas, but it is likely that the system would stay offshore of the United States with the anticipated jet stream pattern.
June 1 marks the official start of the Atlantic hurricane season.
While the Southeast states turn wet, cooler and humid, Texas and the southern Plains will dry out and heat up with only sporadic storms expected. The break in storms is following frequent rounds of flooding rain and severe weather during May that broke the long-term drought.

Will This Season Bring an End to Florida's Decade-Long Hurricane Drought?

By Michael Kuhne, AccuWeather.com Staff Writer

June 2,2015; 7:57PM,EDT

 

 

It has been nearly a decade since a hurricane has impacted Florida, a state which has been hit by seven of the 10 most costly and damaging hurricanes in U.S. history. But despite the recent lull, another devastating storm could impact the Sunshine State in the near future.
"It's very unusual," AccuWeather.com Expert Hurricane Meteorologist Dan Kottlowski said. "This is by far the longest that state has gone without a hurricane hit going back to 1851."
According to the Insurance Information Institute, Florida accounted for 14 percent of all U.S. insured catastrophe losses from 1983 to 2013, or $66.8 billion out of $478.4 billion adjusted for inflation in October 2014.
"Florida is just one of those areas that is most vulnerable because they're in an area, geographically, in which tropical storms can easily maneuver and make landfall," Kottlowski said.
The 2015 hurricane season in the Atlantic will likely see a lower-than-normal number of tropical storms, but just because there is a lower number forecast, the possibility that a major hurricane, category 3 or higher, could devastate the Florida coastline is still a threat, according to Kottlowski.

With eight named tropical storms, four hurricanes and one major hurricane predicted for the Atlantic Basin this season, AccuWeather.com's long-range forecasting team anticipates two or three of these systems to make landfall in the United States.
"In 1992, it was an El Nino year, and Andrew was one hurricane that is used as a poster child for this," he said. "This is the big thing that keeps me up at night; you have to plan ahead."

According to Executive Vice President of the Florida Insurance Council Sam Miller Hurricane Andrew caused more than $23 billion in insured property losses, and is just one example of the losses the state has endured in the past.
"Hurricane Andrew forced individuals, insurers, legislators, insurance regulators and state governments to come to grips with the necessity of preparing both financially and physically for unprecedented natural disaster," according to the Insurance Information Institute.
In 2004, the state was struck by four consecutive hurricanes, all making landfall, within a period of six weeks. The last major hurricane impact the state suffered was from Hurricane Wilma in 2005.
"It's just incredible what we went through," Miller said.
According to Kottlowski, the events of 2004 were unusual but not unprecedented.
"If a weather pattern sets up and does not change much over the weeks and months, you can see that," he said.
Due to the frequency of events throughout the state's history, hurricane damage is covered in all standard homeowners insurance policies, Miller said.
However, flood insurance is usually separate in standard policies and is covered by the National Flood Insurance Program.
Florida leads the nation in the number of flood policies, according to the National Flood Insurance Program, with about 2 million policies in effect in 2013, the Insurance Information Institute reports.

With new policies in place following Andrew, and emergency funds secured, the industry is prepared to handle the claims following another disaster like Andrew, Miller said.
Flood insurance is critical to living in a vulnerable area along the Florida coastline.
"Storm surge is by far the number one cause of damage in most hurricanes," Kottlowski said.
"Florida property insurance rates are among the highest in the country, but you have to begin to finance them now," Miller said. "It just takes one nightmare hurricane to wipe everything out in the system."
If a major hurricane was to make landfall near Miami, due to increased growth of the area, the Insurance Information Institute reports that an event similar to the Great Miami Hurricane of 1926 would cause approximately $125 billion in insured damages.
"You have to have a system in place," Miller said.
Kottlowski said he encourages all homeowners living in vulnerable areas along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts to review their insurance policies and understand what is covered during an event of a major hurricane.
