Today is June 1, 2026, and here in Gulf Breeze, the atmosphere is charged with anticipation as we dive into an active weather pattern that’s shaping up across the region. If you’re a fan of stormy weather, you’re in for a treat! Over the next few days, from June 1 to June 3, showers and thunderstorms are expected to sweep across the Northern Rockies, the Plains, and even into the Southwest of the U.S. Exciting times ahead, right?
As we kick off the week, it’s worth noting that there’s a potential for severe thunderstorms, particularly on Monday and Tuesday in parts of the Plains. These storms could pack quite a punch, with heavy rainfalls likely in New Mexico and western Texas from Tuesday to Wednesday. Meanwhile, temperatures in the central and eastern regions are expected to soar above average, bringing some summer heat, while the Northern Rockies and the Pacific Northwest will enjoy a cooler spell due to a different weather system hanging around.
What’s Happening This Week?
On Monday, brace yourselves for persistent showers and thunderstorms stretching from the Northern Rockies down to the Plains and into the Southeast. A low-pressure system near the U.S.-Canadian border is the culprit behind this wet weather. If you’re in Texas or the central Plains, keep an eye on the sky in the afternoon and evening, as severe thunderstorms might just surprise you!
Tuesday rolls in with a frontal boundary stretching across the southern U.S. This is going to spread Gulf moisture over higher terrains, particularly in New Mexico, and increase the chances for heavy rain. More showers and thunderstorms are expected in the Plains, courtesy of a secondary front. And don’t forget about that stationary front near the Gulf Coast—it’s also likely to trigger some scattered storms. So, grab an umbrella just in case!
Temperature Trends
Now, let’s chat about temperatures! An upper ridge is pushing warm air from Texas all the way to the Mississippi Valley, the Midwest, and the Ohio Valley. Expect highs to climb into the 80s and 90s. If you’re in the Northern Rockies or the Pacific Northwest, you’ll notice a refreshing break from the heat, thanks to that other weather system keeping things cooler.
