Hot, humid Wednesday in Philadelphia region as storm chances increase at night. Here's the weather forecast.
From the 60s to a heat advisory in just two days, get ready for major changes around the Philadelphia region. On Wednesday, we're back in the upper 80s, feeling quite hot and steamy with a greater chance for storms, including a chance for an isolated strong to severe storm. Parts of our area are in a level 1 risk for severe weather, so we'll keep our eyes on it. Thursday is a NEXT Weather Alert as a stronger line of storms may push through the Delaware Valley during the afternoon and early evening, bringing lightning, heavy rain and the possibility for severe weather, most notably the risk for strong winds. It's another hot and humid day with highs in the low 90s. Timing for the storms looks to be late afternoon west of Philly, with a majority of our area seeing the impacts during the early evening hours, mainly between 5-9 p.m. CBS News Philadelphia It will be quite an interesting way to end spring as summer officially arrives on Friday, and wouldn't you know it, the pattern starts to shift just in time. Friday looks beautiful, but a heat wave begins this weekend, with highs climbing into the 90s again Saturday. Get ready for the heat, though. Starting this weekend, we will be entering our first heat wave of the year. That means three or more days in a row hitting 90 degrees or higher, and this stretch could keep going into the following week. For some context: Last year's first heat wave ran from June 18 to 23, and the last one hit at the end of July. Both topped out at 98 degrees. Our last 100-plus degree day was on July 7, 2012, when we hit 101 degrees. And the longest heat wave on record? A whopping 12 days back in 1901, including two scorchers over 100 degrees. Because of the heat, we'll also be on NEXT Weather Alert Day for Monday and Tuesday as well, tracking feels-like temps of 100-plus degrees. We could possibly see a 100-plus degree day for the first time in nearly 13 years. Stay with your NEXT Weather Team for the latest.

Cause of 25-acre fire in North Mountain Park in Phoenix under investigation
The Phoenix Fire Department is investigating the cause of a brush fire that charred 25 acres of land on June 17 at North Mountain Park near a condominium complex. About 125 firefighters from multiple fire departments battled the blaze for several hours in the triple-digit heat, said Scott Douglas, a captain with the Phoenix Fire Department. Firefighters were called to the fire around noon and found the fire moving up the west side of Shaw Butte about 500 feet from a condominium complex, Douglas said. The condominiums are located on West Sunnyside Drive near 19th Avenue in north Phoenix. The condominium complex was not threatened, and there were no injuries, Douglas said. The fire did not affect several radio and TV antennas on top of Shaw Butte, he said. High winds, excessive heat, low humidity and mountainous terrain made it difficult for fire crews to battle the blaze, Douglas said. Because of the excessive heat, firefighters rotated every 30 minutes to rest and rehydrate and have their vital signs checked, Douglas said. The fire was reported just before noon and was extinguished by about 3 p.m., Douglas said. Lisa Brandt, who lives in the Villas of North Mountain Condominiums, said she went outside to walk her dog at about 12:30 p.m. and saw fire trucks lining Sunnyside Drive. She then saw smoke and flames coming from the side of Shaw Butte, a popular hiking area, not far from the buildings. "There was a lot of smoke and flames," Brandt said. Brandt was worried residents would have to evacuate. But fire officials told her the buildings were not threatened. "I was ready to pack my bag and go," Brandt said. "I'm glad it's over because I was starting to panic." This article originally appeared on Arizona Republic: Fire in North Mountain Park near Phoenix condominiums chars 25 acres

2025 Summer Outlook: What to expect in Middle Tennessee
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Meteorological summer has already started, but the first day of summer isn't until Friday, June 20th. We all know that summer in Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky is going to be hot and humid, but how hot will it get? During the average summer in Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky, we see high temperatures and high humidity compared to folks to our north. The average high temperature for Nashville during the summer months gets as high as the low 90s. Lows are typically in the upper 60s and low 70s. The warm overnight temperatures are partially caused by the high humidity that's common here. Dew points are routinely in the 70s from June through August. This makes it feel even hotter. Want the forecast delivered directly to your inbox? Sign up for the News 2 Forecast Newsletter The Climate Prediction Center issues seasonal outlooks, and they are forecasting slightly warmer than normal temperatures from June through August. Their forecast is for near-average precipitation. The forecast for above-average temperatures is no surprise. Out of the last 10 summers in Nashville, 7 of them have featured warmer-than-normal temperatures. The precipitation trend is also above average. Eight out of the last 10 summers featured more rainfall than normal. This spring was the 5th wettest on record in Middle Tennessee. Let's look back at Nashville's wettest springs to see if it had any impact on what we saw in the summer. During the years that we had record rainfall during the spring, most of the following summers featured cooler-than-normal temperatures. This makes sense because a saturated ground favors higher humidity. Air with a lot of moisture in it takes more energy to heat up. There wasn't much correlation between record wet springs and summertime rainfall. But if you're tired of the rain, 6 out of 10 of those summers had below-average rainfall. ⏩ It's unlikely it will be as hot and as dry as last summer, but it will feel hot no matter what. The extreme heat and humidity start this weekend. The forecast for Saturday, June 21st, and Sunday, the 22nd, is for temperatures in the mid-90s and feels like temperatures over 100°.
