SUMMARY: Chief Meteorologist Patrick Bigbean provided a weather update, noting a sunny and warm Monday with temperatures around 96°F. The forecast suggests continuing heat and humidity, with a slight chance of showers over the coming days. Conditions remain dry in the Pine Belt, raising concerns for drought, as local rivers show low water levels. Nationwide, severe storms are predicted in the Northeast and parts of the Plains. In California, an early snow at high elevations signals an unusual weather pattern. Tracking the tropics, no significant developments are noted in the Atlantic, while three storms exist in the Pacific.
