A Dangerous Storm Corridor Is Quickly Developing...

It's Friday, June 5th, 2026.It's the 156th day of the year and tomorrow's severe weather threat is shifting into a much more populated area on the map.Over 26 million people from the Upper Ohio Valley into Southern New England are now in a slight risk for damaging winds, large hail, and a brief tornado.So let's jump right into it.Over 26 million people are in the severe weather threat tomorrow, stretching from the Upper Ohio Valley all the way into Southern New England.And in the last video, we were locked in on the plains in the Midwest.

But the latest data has this entering a more populated area.We've been having a little bit of a break over here, but I'm getting a lot more confident that we're going to have a pretty big storm.severe weather situation unfold in the Ohio Valley and southern New England tomorrow.And that's why we've got that level 2 out of 5 slight risk sitting right over Columbus, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Toledo, and even Akron.If you're going to be out in Columbus tomorrow, you've got that memorial tournament that everybody's going to.It's potentially going to be a dangerous day to be outside.

So that's why I built y 'all call.You don't have to be constantly worried about the weather.You can just wait for me to call you and I'll tell you to take shelter if you want to sign up for that.But yeah, there's going to be lots of dangerous lightning and severe weather happening.So make sure you have some way of knowing to get to a sturdy shelter.

Now, New York City, Philly, Detroit, you guys are all in the broader level one marginal risk, but you could still see a strong storm.

But the nastiest stuff is really going to stay closer to that Ohio Valley.Valley Bullseye and especially in the western portions of Pennsylvania.So if you're headed to the Governor's Ball in Queens or the Yankees game in the Bronx on Saturday evening, keep one eye on the radar because that stuff's eventually going to be moving over towards you.But here's what's driving all this.

Okay, we've got a strengthening storm system that's sweeping into the Great Lakes and it's dragging a cold front along with it and that front is going to slam into some really warm weekly capped air and some of the high res models are showing a lot of storm energy at well over 2 ,000 joules per kilogram ofenergy out here that's actually a lot so in the morning you're probably gonna see some messy non -severe rain showers move through and then that's gonna be pushed along by a river of air at the low levels but the real show doesn't kick off until the afternoon as the Sun comes out and it starts destabilizing the atmosphere from west to east the most intense storms are gonna peak in a pretty tight window between 3 p .m.m.and 8 p .m.Saturday evening and and that daytime heating is going to fire off a fresh round of supercells and that wind shear is going to start cranking up.

So once again, if you got to be out, if you're running errands on Saturday or anything like that, get ready to deal with blinding downpours and conditions falling apart fast.Okay.And what do I mean by conditions falling apart fast?

Let's break down exactly what these storms can throw at you.Okay.Because we're mostly talking about damaging winds.We've got a lot of people sitting under a 30 % chance of severe gusts tomorrow, and then an even larger amount of people under a 50 % 15 % risk of severe gusts.So I think the wind threat and even the SPC thinks this is definitely going to be the main thing.We're talking about 60 mile per hour plus winds, maybe even some 70 mile per hour winds.

And that's enough to snap tree limbs and drop power lines.And it can also turn your patio furniture into projectiles.Once again, we've had a little bit of a breakup here.This is a reminder.All right, tied the trampolines down.There's also a concentrated 15 % risk for scattered large hail.

That is going to be something that we have to watch out for.for as well.And the hail threat is probably going to be highest across the upper Ohio Valley, where when these storms really start going, they're going to be individual supercells and they're going to spin up before they merge into a line.And that's where we have the best chance for a hail.I think that's a Youngstown, Canton, Pittsburgh, places like that.You're sitting right in the bullseye for this.

So if you get caught underneath one of these early supercells, quarter size hail, maybe even larger hail than that is going to be a possible.So make sure you're ready for that.And of course, there's also a chance two percent.tornado risk.This is centered mostly over eastern Ohio into western Pennsylvania.The peak window for these isolated tornadoes is going to be between 4 p .

m.and 9 p .m.But I really want to be clear here and state that this is not a massive tornado outbreak at all.Okay, the main thing is going to be wind, but with wind comes some wind shear and instability.

When we have instability like this, you can't roll out a tornado or two.And tornadoes Tornadoes in June up here are not uncommon.In fact, today is the anniversary of the 2010 Millbury, Ohio EF4.

So that's just a reminder that, you know, this time of year we do have to be thinking about tornadoes up here.And we're about to dive so much deeper into that.But first, let's shout out today's awesome sponsor.When we're tracking severe weather, things get pretty hectic around here.

Huge thanks to Factor for sponsoring this video and for keeping the team fed here.Now, let's get back into the forecast.is dealing with severe storms, there's a stubborn water problem brewing for the southern plains into the Mississippi Valley.

We talked about that lingering moisture down south in our last video, and that's exactly what's fueling a level 2 slight risk for flooding rain tomorrow across much of Texas and southern Oklahoma.

A truly compact storm aloft is creeping north out of Mexico, and it's going to be bringing some moisture with it, okay?And it's going to be moving into an atmosphere that's absolutely loaded with energy, not necessarily for severe storms, but for very efficient rainmakers.Okay, so the flash flood concern is going up.We've got moisture levels hitting the 95th percentile, so these storms are actually going to be more wet than they normally are.Okay, we're used to lots of rain down here, but these are going to be even wetter than normal, son.Now, some of these places down here in Texas are stuck in an extreme to exceptional drought, so we need the rain, but drought -hardened ground acts like concrete.

It repels the water instead of soaking it up, and that sets up a serious flash flood danger, especially if the rain comes down.

and with rain rates that are currently showing up on the models as 2 to 3 inches per hour, that is a very big problem that we have to think about.OK, so down on the central Gulf Coast around southern Louisiana, a separate setup is going to be posing a flash flood risk as well.So we've got to be thinking about that.But mostly I'm concerned about Texas.You guys definitely need to be watching the creeks and streams and rivers as we go forward.

Now, on that same Saturday on different parts of the country out West, we've got a powerful storm system aloft that's going to spark two different but equally dangerous problems.First, we've got a deepening surface low right at the Montana -North Dakota border that's going to fire off some late afternoon supercells.We flagged this in our video two days ago, and the models have stayed rock solid on it.

And these storms can easily drop large hail and damaging wind gusts as they roll into the evening.

Farther south, that same system is going to drive a fast -moving jet over the Great Basin, and that's creating a critical fire weather situation.eastern Utah and northern Arizon sustained winds of 20 to with single digit humidit recovery.So any spark at spread a wildfire uncont whether you're dodging h staring down extreme fi Saturday is not a day to be lollygagging around and not paying attention to the weather.Now by Sunday, the severe weather machine is going to reload again, this time putting the northern plains back in the crosshairs.We've got a level 2 slight risk for severe weather in the Dakotas and eastern Montana.So we've got strong daytime heating pushing the dew points into the low 60s and that's going to break down the cap by late afternoon and it's going to let storms blow up pretty fast.

And once they break through, strengthening wind shear is going to support supercells that can drop very large hail and also we could see big -time wind gusts out here as well.Meanwhile, a cold front is going to be sliding through the mid -Atlantic and that's going to bring a separate isolated damaging wind risk to places like Virginia and Maryland.

So we have to keep that in mind as well and down south the flash flooding that we talked about is going to shift east.

We're tracking a level 2 out of 4 risk for flooding rain from Missouri down to Arkansas and into eastern Kansas and Oklahoma fueled by a 40 mile per hour low -level surge of moist air.So if you're headed out to bush stadium for the cardinals game on sunday afternoon, make sure you bring an umbrella and watch for street flooding around the ballpark.It is very possible.The severe weather map is going to look like a patchwork quilt on sunday.So definitely keep the weather wise app loaded on your phone.So no matter where you live, you got real time radar and NWS alerts and notifications to let you know exactly what's going on.

All right.And after all that, let me give you some genuinely good news.Sunday is going to be absolutely beautiful.across the nation.

Let me give you some genuinely good news.be very comfortable in th temperatures.

And this is day that we've been look taking the boat out or ju open sun after a week of humidity.Northern michiga earns the beautiful tag.

S it to you.Okay, I wante nice weather, but looking week, we definitely have t pattern that looks really the northern plains on Tuesday and Wednesday.We hit it at this midweek reload in the last video and the extended data is confirming it.So the trend is pointing towards organized severe weather, mostly tailored for the upper Midwest up into the northern plains.But some of that's going to escape down into the Ohio Valley, maybe even the East Coast, you know, kind of like we're seeing tomorrow as we go forward.But if you push into the 8 to 14 day window, OK, if we're looking way out into the future, there's a pretty strong signal that high pressure is going to be building in over the eastern U .

S., and that could actually lead to some extreme heat.

If you're headed to Bonnaroo in Manchester, Tennessee, late next week, prepare for potentially oppressive heat and pack way more water than you think you need.That unseasonable warmth Plus a lack of rain has me watching for rapid onset droughts that could stress crops and lawns across parts of northern Illinois and northwest Indiana.

And I think that this little area could expand a little bit as well.And down south, a steady stream of tropical moisture is just going to continue to potentially cause too much rain down here.So yeah, that's something else that we've got to keep watching.And just a quick check on the tropics.We do have tropical storm Amanda in the eastern Pacific, packing 45 mile per hour winds.But it's going to weaken into a remnant low by Sunday.

And really, there's not a lot to talk about out here in the tropics.But yeah.And there's an update on that.And that's pretty much all the weather talk I have for you today.Thank you so much for watching.
