Excessive heat continues across the Desert SW and PNW today before cooling down a bit into tomorrow - but still above normal. In general, the western US is seeing a faster rate of warming in the summer compared to the east - so this heat will become a lot more 'normal' soon. https://t.co/WNLuQCDh00

Breaking down the severe threats - the worst storms over the next few hours will move over the northeast/eastern parts of the country. Later this afternoon and evening storms will continue to strengthen across the southeast. Then overnight, more severe weather moves across TX.⬇️ https://t.co/oEmzrOV7m1

Why is so chilly in San Francisco in the summer!? While the rest of CA heats up, it stays chilly here because onshore winds pick up/marine fog returns. The onshore winds will be strong enough tomorrow to influence highs from the coast to the Sierra - these winds are powerful! https://t.co/FUMa3CYvuj

Satellite imagery continues to show high pressure dominating the western half of the United States, keeping away most high level clouds/moisture. It's only in the low levels of the atmosphere (being impacted by the ocean) with onshore winds ushering in thicker fog. @KPIXtv https://t.co/LXIAAnmJuA

It's FUREVER Friday @KPIXtv and we had the friendliest guest ever join me on the morning show...Vinny and so many other adorable furry friends are available for adoption - FREE Saturday 6/7 for California's adopt a pet day! Go to @sfspca to rescue your new best friend tomorrow!!! https://t.co/XDr0yNOjsf

We've been tracking it all week, and luckily there is a light at the end of this smoky tunnel for the central/eastern US. Numerous storms will mix out most smoke in the air and allow air quality to improve. BUT more (albeit less dense) smoke will move over northern MN Saturday! https://t.co/iJ6Z17wGMG

Chicago woke up to the 2nd worst air quality of any major city in the WORLD...but luckily much better air quality will arrive into tomorrow as a storm moves across the country and mixes out the smoke. BUT severe storms are likely tonight across the central US so stay prepared! https://t.co/FPIuNtk0bS

Lots of love on this morning show @KPIXtv thanks to the amazing Reed Cowan and Gianna Franco💕 And I hope you're feeling the love today too with really lovely June weather in store! BUT, there will be thicker fog and maybe even a little coastal drizzle waking up early tomorrow☁️ https://t.co/M37IEfgXcu

Did you know wildfire smoke has a higher concentration of toxins and is therefore considered worse for you than cigarette smoke? A storm currently dividing the two masses of smoke will create mixing in the atmosphere, improving air quality a bit over the coming days. @KPIXtv https://t.co/CzPoLqNSB2

Severe storms are making their way across the central US this evening, dissipating a little wildfire smoke. BUT the densest area is on the backside of the system - across Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin. This haze will push south along the frontal boundary into tomorrow @KPIXtv https://t.co/GwzFGGsKJu

Who doesn't love a good accidental rhyme time?! It's going to be a lovely June afternoon^ so get out and enjoy! If not, don't worry. The entire week is going to feel much of the same each and every day with minor temperature fluctuations and cloud coverage variations @KPIXtv https://t.co/Q1zIf0Vcp0

That's not cloud coverage across the central US...it's wildfire smoke from Canada pouring into the country. Air quality is awful, the worst across Minnesota. This smoke will slowly push south, arriving to Texas by Wednesday...at least it will lead to some vibrant sunsets! @KPIXtv https://t.co/5ZgUpSd1Tq

It's officially meteorological SUMMER!!!🌞 Although you might be waiting for the summer solstice on June 20th (astronomical summer), we use the months of June, July, and August! Keeping the same dates each year makes it easier to compare weather trends from year to year @KPIXtv https://t.co/lTMwVKHzKl

If you've been sick and tired of the heat across the Bay...relief is on the way today! High temperatures will be comfortable inland - some locations will be about 20° cooler compared to yesterday. BUT, coastal communities will be breezier, chillier, and cloudier. @KPIXtv https://t.co/7l9CAUlsR0

It's been feeling more like summer for these last couple days of May🥵 And as we step out this summer, very hot days are only getting more and more common with climate change...San Francisco has averaged nearly a month more hot summer days compared to back in the 1970s. @KPIXtv https://t.co/bFtID3ToKt

A one two punch of severe storms across the southeast, the same places that dealt with severe weather yesterday. Damaging winds are the main threat, but large hail and tornadoes are still possible. Stay safe this evening - calmer weather arrives tomorrow. @KPIXtv @CBSNews https://t.co/ho8BX4nRjL

As they say...great minds think alike! Elizabeth Cook and I ended up matching (unplanned!) for the debut of CBS News 24/7 Primetime👯‍♀️ Do you think we should start a second job going around singing as 'The Ladies in Red'?!😂 I think I might just stick to the weather...@KPIXtv https://t.co/C6TrLdJsMA
