Another heat advisory dogs South Florida with scattered rains expected in the late afternoon
A heat advisory will be in effect from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. Sunday as "feels-like" temperatures could soar up to 107 for parts of Southeast Florida and the Keys.
Make sure to stay hydrated, take frequent breaks out of the heat, and wear light, loose-fitting clothing today. Similar heat will also kick off the workweek as heat index values remain in the triple digits.
In addition to the heat, rain chances will trend slightly higher today and throughout the upcoming week. Isolated showers will be possible along the Keys and the east coast on Sunday morning, but scattered showers and storms are expected to develop in the afternoon through early evening, especially for parts of Broward and Miami-Dade counties. Rain chances are around 40 percent for Sunday, so not everyone will receive rain, but you'll want to keep an umbrella nearby to be on the safe side.
If you don't use your umbrella today, there is a good chance you'll need it at some point through the workweek as daily rain chances will range from 40-50 percent, especially Wednesday through next weekend. Afternoon highs will linger in the lower 90s each day.

Tropical Storm Dexter Has Formed in the Atlantic — Here's Where It's Expected to Go and When
Forecasters believe the storm will continue moving in the same general direction over the next few daysNEED TO KNOW Tropical Storm Dexter has formed in the Atlantic, making it the fourth named storm of the season The storm developed late on Sunday, Aug. 3 and is expected to continue moving to the northeast NOAA has predicted there will be between 13 and 19 named storms in the Atlantic this hurricane season, which began June 1A new tropical storm has formed off the coast of the United States. Tropical Storm Dexter developed late on Sunday, Aug. 3, according to The Weather Channel and FOX Weather. As of the morning of Monday, Aug. 4, the storm was located about 250 miles west of Bermuda with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC) in Miami, Fla. By the afternoon, the storm was 275 miles away from Bermuda. The storm is currently moving northeast, away from the United States, at about 14 mph, a pattern that is expected to continue for the next few days. 'Some slight strengthening is forecast during the next couple of days,' forecasters said, 'but Dexter is likely to become a post-tropical cyclone by the middle to latter portion of this week.' Despite the fact that it's moving away from the United States, Fox Weather reported that rip tides will pose a threat to beachgoers across the East Coast from New York to South Florida. The storm is expected to dissipate in the Atlantic Ocean over the course of the week, according to Fox affiliate WTVT-TV. This is just the fourth named storm in the Atlantic since the hurricane season began on June 1. Storms are named once they reach tropical storm status, which occurs when a storm reaches maximum sustained surface winds of at least 39 mph, according to the National Weather Service (NWS). Earlier this year, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicted a 60% chance of an above-normal hurricane season in the Atlantic. The agency predicted there would be between 13 and 19 total named storms, with six to 10 of them becoming hurricanes. Three to five of those hurricanes are forecast to be major hurricanes, which have winds of 111 mph or higher. At the time, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said forecasters 'have never been more prepared for hurricane season.' 'NOAA and the National Weather Service are using the most advanced weather models and cutting-edge hurricane tracking systems to provide Americans with real-time storm forecasts and warnings,' Lutnick said. The NHC also says there is a chance for two more systems in the Atlantic to develop into tropical cyclones in the next week or so.

The first disturbance is located in the Central Atlantic, and has a 50% chance of developing within the next seven days as it heads west-northwest. Forecasters say it could develop into a tropical depression 'by the latter portion of this week." The second disturbance is located just off the coasts of northeastern Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. This 'broad area of low pressure' has a 30% chance of developing over the next seven days as it 'slowly moves' to the west. Read the original article on People

Heat advisory issued for upcoming triple digit heat in Southern California
A significant warm-up is coming to the Inland Empire and parts of San Bernardino and Riverside County valleys. The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory ahead of the upcoming weather. The advisory will go into effect at 10 a.m. Wednesday and remain until 8 p.m. Friday. Forecasters predict Thursday will be the hottest day of the week, with most areas of Southern California experiencing temperatures 5 to 10 degrees above normal. The NWS says areas like the San Gabriel Valley, San Fernando Valley and Calabasas will have temperatures 10 to 12 degrees above normal. Maximum temperatures in the valleys could reach up to 106 degrees. As temperatures rise, so will the risk of fire danger. The NWS says there will be "abnormally elevated fire behavior and growth with risk of plume dominated fires." Weather officials are warning communities that the high temperatures may cause heat-related illness.
