Will North Jersey see more rain this week? A little, but expect higher temperatures
The region may see "a few isolated showers or a thunderstorm in the afternoon" on July 15, according to the National Weather Service's New York office. Otherwise, the forecast calls for the day to be "mainly dry" — a sharp contrast from the July 14 evening storms that brought several inches of rain to some New Jersey municipalities.

The National Weather Service's office in Mount Holly predicted similar conditions throughout southern and western New Jersey, with some isolated storms but a low threat of severe weather. That threat increases farther south, where much of Delaware and eastern Maryland has a 50% to 60% chance of storms through July 15.
According to totals collected by the NWS, the Union County township of Clark recorded the highest precipitation amount, with 6.67 inches as of 7 a.m. July 15. Notable measurements in North Jersey included 4.47 inches in Long Hill, 4.17 inches in Butler, 3.76 inches in Franklin Lakes, 2.59 inches in Pompton Lakes and 2.15 inches in Montague.
While the likelihood of additional flooding is low, residents should be prepared for extended heat as temperatures rise. The area should see highs in the 80s on July 15, with parts of northeast New Jersey potentially reaching a heat index of 95, according to NWS New York.
The agency issued a hazardous weather outlook indicating a "moderate to high potential" of a heat index between 95 and 100 degrees from July 16-18. The heat index could reach as high as 105 degrees on July 17, the alert states.

Los Angeles County canine rescue teams return after aiding Texas flood recovery
Canine rescue teams from Los Angeles County returned to the Southland on Sunday morning after spending more than two weeks assisting with search and recovery efforts in Central Texas following the devastating floods in the region. The team with the Los Angeles County Fire Department was deployed to Texas on July 8. Over the next 18 days, the specialized dogs helped rescue teams search for remaining victims after floods tore through the region, leaving at least 138 dead. Dozens are still unaccounted for. "All canine teams and first responders are to be commended for their steadfast commitment in assisting with the search and recovery efforts in central Texas," said County of Los Angeles Fire Chief Anthony C. Marrone. "We continue to stand alongside the residents and communities impacted by the devastating flooding and pray for continued strength and resilience." Gov. Gavin Newsom deployed the team, along with other teams from Oakland, Sacramento, Menlo Park, Orange County, and Riverside County. At LAX on Sunday morning, crewmembers told CBS News Los Angeles that it worked in excruciating heat with high humidity, which California-based crews are not used to. "It was very challenging compared to our other deployments," said Capt. Celina Serrano. "We did have to deal with something unexpected, with the humidity, which is what we're not used to out here." Serrano added that the dogs' work schedules had to be altered due to the weather conditions. A canine, Prentiss, had to have emergency surgery while in Texas but is expected to make a full recovery. He's going to have a two-month break from his duties before authorities assess whether he should return to work.
