Dry weekend ahead for Central Florida as temperatures rise
Central Florida will experience a drier pattern this weekend due to slightly lower moisture levels in the atmosphere, resulting in fewer afternoon downpours.
As a result, the chances of rain will be around 10-20% on Saturday and 20-30% on Sunday.
With the drier conditions, temperatures are expected to rise into the lower to mid-90s, leading to a heat index that will exceed 100 degrees.
Early next week, moisture levels will increase again, and we can expect our typical daytime storms to return, marking the arrival of the wet season.

Strong, severe storms to bring large hail, high winds and heavy rain to North Texas this weekend
Happy Saturday! First Alerts are in effect starting Saturday evening through Monday due to the heat and storm chances. This weekend, highs will reach the mid-90s, but with all the moisture in the atmosphere, the heat index value will be in the triple digits. Be sure to drink plenty of water and take frequent breaks in the shade if you're planning on doing any vigorous outdoor activities. The heat and moisture at the surface combined with an upper-level northwesterly will allow for storms to move through North Texas Saturday night. By Sunday night, a cold front will initiate more storms that will continue into Monday. The Storm Prediction Center has highlighted a level 2 out of 5 threat for Saturday overnight and a level 3 out of 5 for Sunday night. Sunday's threat will be much more widespread, with the potential for a significant threat of severe weather. Large hail and damaging winds are the primary threats, but all modes will still be possible. As for the next week, the cold front stalls on Monday across central Texas. This will initiate more storms as well as cause an active forecast. Stay tuned for the latest forecast updates!

Uranium at Chimney Hollow dam poses no risk to Longmont's water, city says
In response to an announcement by the Northern Water Conservancy District on Thursday morning that mineralized uranium was found during routine water quality sampling at the future site of Chimney Hollow Reservoir, the city of Longmont city released a statement late Thursday emphasizing that there is no risk to residents. The statement also notes that uranium-laden minerals are naturally found in Colorado's sedimentary rock layers. 'Northern Water said it is actively developing a mitigation plan to address this finding. These efforts are ongoing and will be fully implemented before any water is delivered from the reservoir,' city spokesman Scott Rochat said in an email. 'There is no impact to the City of Longmont's current water supply. City staff continue to monitor all municipal water sources to ensure the protection of public health and safety.' The statement encouraged residents to refer to the 2024 Drinking Water Quality Report for further information.
