Weather thursday June 6 2024 Rain from Atlant to NYC will cause flight delays in the east ... Dry and hot in the west

The Weather Man Podcast, I talk about weather!

Scattered showers and thunderstorms expected to move through the
eastern U.S. for the next couple of days with locally heavy to excessive
rainfall possible over the central Appalachians through tonight...
Over the next couple of days, a shift in the weather pattern will continue
to push the active weather across the eastern U.S. This shift in the
weather pattern will also sustain a heatwave across the southwestern U.S.
High temperatures well up into the 100s this afternoon across the Central
Valley of California could soar a couple degrees higher Thursday
afternoon. The Desert Southwest will likely see temperatures soaring into
the 110s Thursday afternoon, with Las Vegas' high temperature
challenging/reaching its earliest 112 degrees on record. Widespread high
and low temperature records may be tied or broken through Friday.
Excessive Heat Warnings are in effect for California's Central Valley as
well as much of the Desert Southwest including southeastern California,
southern Nevada and western/southern Arizona. Record warm low
temperatures at night will not offer much chance to cool off either. The
heat is forecast to expand northward across the Great Basin and into the
interior Pacific Northwest on Friday with highs reaching well up into the
90s. Meanwhile, the heat across southern Texas is forecast to become less
intense over the next couple of days.
Much cooler, damp, and windy conditions will gradually spread from the
northern Plains eastward into the upper Midwest and the Great Lakes
through the next couple of days behind the cold front trailing south from
a deep low pressure system over southern Canada. The system will push
steadily eastward, providing a break in the active weather over the
mid-section of the country while spreading showers and embedded
thunderstorms across the Great Lakes, Ohio and Tennessee Valleys, and down
toward the lower Mississippi Valley through tonight. The inclement
weather will reach into much of the East Coast on Thursday as the cold
front continues its eastward progress. There appears to be a greater
chance for New England to see some locally heavy rain with embedded
thunderstorms later on Thursday as a warm front lifting northward meets
the eastward-advancing cold front. More rounds of showers are expected
for the interior Northeast on Friday as addition energy rotates across the
Great Lakes toward New England.
By later on Friday, a low pressure system will be organizing over the
central Plains with support from upper-level energy ejecting eastward from
the central Rockies. Showers and thunderstorms will begin to develop and
expand ahead of the system over the central Plains by Friday afternoon.
Scattered thunderstorms will also develop over the central Rockie
