Dense Fog for the Center of the Nation; Severe Thunderstorms Across the South; Parade of Pacific Storms Continue

Series of Pacific storms will continue to significantly impact portions of the West through this last weekend of 2024; Strong winds, high surf, heavy lower elevation rain and heavy mountain snow expected. Across the Plains, low visibility and dense fog will make for travel difficulties as warmer air lifts north. This will fuel severe thunderstorms across several southern states on Saturday.

June 2018 produced above to well above normal temperatures, while precipitation was mixed. The western half of the state was mostly near to above normal, while the east was generally near to below normal.

Widespread severe weather was reported on the 3rd, including large hail and a couple of tornadoes. Aside from that, it was quiet through the first 12 days of the month. There was isolated large hail and strong winds in Union County on the 7th. Hot and mostly dry weather was the rule from the 8th through 11th. Isolated severe weather impacted the east on the 12th through 14th. The big event of the month was the remnants from Hurricane Bud that moved through New Mexico on the 15th through early on the 17th. The tropical moisture dumped copious amounts of rain over most of the state. But, the good news was it fell over a long enough period of time that no flash flooding was reported. Thunderstorms and their downpours were held to a minimum. It was quiet from the 18th through 20th. Isolated severe weather developed during the early morning hours of the 21st in Union County. A bigger outbreak of severe storms occurred on the afternoon of the 22nd. Golf ball size hail east of Folsom and a tornado north of Mount Dora were the top stories. Other than large hail near Des Moines on the 24th, the final week of June was rather benign.
