Consider adjusting your outdoor plans for Father’s Day as the Desert Southwest region is set to experience triple-digit temperatures, as per the National Weather Service. Other areas like the Southern Plains and southeast are expecting 90-degree temperatures. The NWS also forecasts above-average temperatures in the central Great Basin and northern Plains. The Midwest, Central Plains, and Tennessee Valley will see temperatures in the upper 90s, with the heat index reaching 105 degrees. It’s important to note that the heat may pose a danger to those without adequate shade or cooling, especially seniors who are at risk due to isolation and preexisting health conditions.
Aside from the heat, there are other weather concerns for Father’s Day. The NWS predicts an active and changeable weather pattern in the Pacific Northwest, bringing unseasonably cold temperatures and setting up an active storm track between the east and west systems. This could result in multiple rounds of heavy rain and potential flash flooding between eastern Nebraska and northern Wisconsin.
