Weather.com digital meteorologist Jonathan Bellesadds:

-”In general, the later in the night you can wait to look up the better. Wait out the summer-like thunderstorms and some skies across the country will clear after midnight. Late evening skies may be cluttered by cloud debris from the large number of thunderstorms ongoing across the country.”

-”Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, the Dakotas, Missouri, Tennessee, Illinois, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, New York and Michigan are some of the better states for viewing the skies Saturday evening. But even parts of these states will have cloud cover."

-”The worst views include New England, the Central and Southern Plains and into the Rockies but storms will break up as the evening goes on in some spots.”

-”Large sections of the country will feature temperatures in the 50, 60s and 70s, but muggy conditions will be felt across a large section of the Central U.S.”

Other celestial events to catch this month:

-Look for Jupiter in with a crescent moon just before dawn on June 14.

-Venus, Mars and the crescent moon form a triangle on June 21, after the summer solstice ends.

-The Big Dipper shines brightly in the northwest part of the sky all month.
