Muggy, stormy weather expected for Father's Day weekend
(PINPOINT WEATHER) — As we close out the week, we are dealing with more of the same across the Carolinas with locally heavy rain and thunderstorms along with miserable humidity. More of the same is on the way this weekend, with scattered showers and storms expected for both Saturday and Sunday with more heat and mugginess. This summer pattern looks to continue unabated through the end of next week, with no completely dry day until the end of next week. As for tonight and your Father's Day Weekend, scattered showers and storms are expected this evening with heavy rain and isolated flash flooding possible. Overnight lows will stay on the warm side thanks to showers and elevated humidity as temperatures will struggle to dip down below the 70-degree mark. Saturday and Father's Day will bring more of the same with afternoon showers and storms and tropical like conditions as highs push into the upper 80s and the humidity making it feel borderline intolerable outside. If you're looking to do anything outside with Dad this weekend, the best time will likely be the middle of the day when we should be dry. Heading into next week, more of the same is expected across the Carolinas with showers and storms possible in the afternoon, essentially every day of the week. Along with the possible wet weather is more heat and humidity, of course, with temperatures that could be pushing into the 90s as our weather starts to dry out. So if you've wanted to go to the tropics, don't worry, because the weather has come to you! Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Humid and stormy weather for Father's Day Weekend, Turns hotter next week
Alabama remains situated between a trough of low pressure over the southern Plains and a ridge of high pressure off the east coast of Florida. This tropical weather pattern will increase humidity levels, bringing thunderstorms back into the forecast through the weekend as upper-level waves move across the state. Some of the storms this evening are expected to be strong to severe, with gusty winds and heavy rain. SPC has placed western Alabama in a Level 1/5 Marginal Risk for severe storms. The threat remains low, but something to watch. Tonight, it will be mostly cloudy with a few lingering showers and patchy fog. Lows will range from the upper 60s to lower 70s. Father's Day Weekend: The weather pattern is expected to stay the same. Anticipate more heat, high humidity, and scattered storms on Saturday and Sunday. A few storms might be strong, accompanied by gusty winds and heavy rain, potentially causing minor flooding in areas with poor drainage. There is a Level 1/4 Marginal risk for flash flooding each day. High temperatures will be in the mid-80s, and it will feel like the middle 90s.

NFL Legend Barry Sanders Suffered a Heart Attack Last Year

NFL Hall of Famer Barry Sanders revealed today that he suffered a heart attack while on a recruiting visit with his son. Last year, Sanders shared that he had suffered a heart-related "health scare" on Father's Day Weekend. Advertisement "I couldn't believe it, honestly," said Sanders to CBS Sports. "I thought it was like heartburn, but it just kind of persisted." He woke up that morning with a burning sensation in his chest. Later, he drove himself to the emergency room. Barry Sanders "Of all things, I don't know why, that just never entered my mind," said Sanders. "There aren't necessarily any warning signs, unless you do what we're encouraging people to do, which is to go the doctor, get tested for LDLC levels, or bad cholesterol. It's not something you're going to be able to feel. You don't have to fit a certain physical profile." Advertisement Sanders has gone public with this admission in the hopes of bringing more awareness to heart health, specifically looking to inspire people to get a complete medical checkup to keep an eye on the health of their own hearts. He urges people to visit and said his own health has improved by following the advice of his doctors.

In Celebration of Father's Day, Avangrid Recognizes Three Generations of Allen Family Working at Colorado Energy Projects
LAMAR, Colo., June 13, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In celebration of Father's Day Weekend, Avangrid, Inc., a leading energy company and member of the Iberdrola Group, recognizes three generations of a single family that have worked at the company's Colorado energy projects over the past two decades. The Allen Family, which has helped build a culture of safety, service, and integrity at Avangrid, has seen three generations of fathers and sons work at the company's various energy projects in Colorado, including the Colorado Green and San Luis projects. "Father's Day is our annual opportunity to honor and commemorate the guidance, support, and love that comes from fathers and father figures," said Pedro Azagra, Avangrid CEO. "Our teams do an incredible job of creating a welcoming and positive work environment and we are proud to provide opportunities for multiple generations at Avangrid. The story of the Allen Family is not only an inspiration, it represents the culture and proud legacy Avangrid's employees work to build every day." The story begins with Larry C. Allen (1947–2010), a U.S. Air Force veteran who served in radar operations in the late 1960s. His military service planted the seeds for a lifelong commitment to technology, responsibility, and integrity. After working in appliance and television repair, Larry joined the energy sector, eventually becoming a Lead/Senior Technician at Avangrid's Colorado Green project in 2008. He quickly earned a reputation as a trusted team player and safety leader. "Larry was an outstanding team player who influenced the character of the entire team," said Jason Sheaves, senior director of field operations at Avangrid. "He always led the charge to get things done while staying focused on keeping everyone safe. His sudden passing in 2010 was a staggering loss—we all miss him to this day." Larry's passion for safety and integrity shaped his son, Chris Allen, who followed Larry's footsteps at Colorado Green and now works as the supervisor at Avangrid's San Luis Solar project, also located in Colorado. Inspired by his father's work ethic, Chris served in the U.S. Navy from 2000 to 2009 as an advanced electronics technician, laying the technical foundation for his career at Avangrid. Chris approaches his work with the same principles and values his father lived by and ingrained in him. "Safety for the people you are around is the most important aspect of the job, any job in our company," said Avangrid Supervisor Chris Allen. "Always look out for your colleagues in the field. Have integrity in everything you do." Beyond his technical expertise, Chris also served as a mentor helping prepare new hires who graduate from Avangrid's National Training Center. His approach mirrors the values his father instilled in him: take responsibility, do the work well, and always protect your team. Today, that legacy continues into a third generation through Chris's son, Christjan J. Nieschburg, who serves as a technician and environmental health & safety coordinator at Colorado Green. "They both instilled hard work and discipline in me from a young age, and I'm so proud to have learned from them," said Nieschburg. Outside of work, the Allen family remains deeply committed to each other, enjoying outdoor pursuits like fishing, hunting, and exploring the mountains. Their commitment to family mirrors the care they bring to the workplace every day. At its core, the Allen family story is a reflection of what makes Avangrid special: a workplace where integrity, safety, and service aren't just words, but guiding principles passed down from one generation to the next.
