National Hurricane Center flags area to watch for possible tropical development as system soaks Gulf Coast
MIAMI – A storm system spinning off the southeastern U.s. coastline has caught the attention of the National Hurricane Center (NHC) with a small chance of developing into a tropical system. Much like what was previously known as Invest 93L earlier this month, a trough of low pressure at the southern end of a frontal boundary is forecast to move west-southwestward into the north-central portion of the Gulf, according to the NHC. There, environmental conditions could allow for some slow development if the system remains far enough offshore. How To Watch Fox Weather However, by this weekend, the system is likely to move inland, ending its chances for development. Though much like Invest 93L, the threat of heavy rain and thunderstorms will persist if the trough eventually develops into a tropical system. The NHC is currently just giving a low chance of development. In terms of rainfall totals, about 2–3 inches could fall across much of the northern Gulf Coast, with some locally higher amounts. Widespread flash flooding isn't expected, but isolated flooding could pop up in pockets of heavy precipitation sitting over an area for too long. Download The Free Fox Weather App The disturbance may have less of a chance to develop when compared to Invest 93L because the previous event had more of an organized structure when compared to the current system. That said, the southerly flow along the northern Gulf will likely last for days, leading to an increased risk for rip currents along area beaches. A medium risk of rip currents is expected along the Florida Panhandle from Destin to Port St. Joe, as well as along the Atlantic coast from Daytona Beach southward through Melbourne and West Palm Beach, through the last weekend of July. 7 Facts To Know About Hurricanes Flooding has already been experienced in parts of the South Carolina Low Country as the combination of higher tides and heavy rainfall made streets around Charleston look more like ponds. Downtown Charleston received just over an inch of rainfall on Monday, but with nowhere for the water to go, flooding was reported on several roadways. Minor saltwater flooding was also reported around Charleston Harbor on Tuesday - impacts that will continue until the disturbed area of weather moves through the article source: National Hurricane Center flags area to watch for possible tropical development as system soaks Gulf Coast

Another heat advisory for Twin Cities Wednesday, with storms on the way
Parts of Minnesota will once again be under a heat advisory on Wednesday, and more storms are in the pipeline, too. The Twin Cities, south-central and southwestern Minnesota will be under that advisory from noon through 8 p.m. Highs should reach the lower 90s, while heat indices could surpass 100. Scattered strong to severe storms are possible in the afternoon and evening, with heavy rain, damaging wind and hail the main threats. Flooding is a concern to the north. Thursday will be muggy early before drier, cooler air arrives later in the day. Isolated showers will be possible in southeastern Minnesota. Expect a sunny, less humid day on Friday, with highs in the low 80s. The weekend will start comfortable and dry before the heat and humidity make a comeback on Sunday. Storm chances ramp up again heading into next week.

Pittsburgh will see temperatures near 90 degrees on Wednesday with future rain chances
High temperatures will shoot up to near 90 degrees today, and I have Pittsburgh seeing a high of 89°. WEATHER LINKS: Current Conditions | School Closings & Delays | Submit Your Weather Photos When it comes to your comfort level while outside, the temperature plays just a partial role. The other thing you want to monitor is where our humidity level is, and at least for today, humidity levels start off in the low range and will climb to the moderate range by the end of the day. Thursday will be dry and humid with morning lows near 70 and highs hitting the low 90s. I have Pittsburgh's high at 91°. Friday highs will be in the mid to upper 80s with morning lows in the mid to low 70s. Saturday and Sunday temperatures will look very close to Friday's temps. We could hit 90 degrees next week on Monday or Tuesday, with Monday having the higher chance of seeing the 90s. Humidity levels will be back in the high range tomorrow. Humidity is just a measure of moisture in the atmosphere. When high, it limits the efficiency of our bodies' natural way to cool down through evaporation. The drier the air, the more evaporation that takes place. Evaporation is a cooling process in which heat is released. When the air is more humid, you may notice you're more sweaty. Looking ahead, our next rain chance comes on Friday. Model data is leaning towards our best chance for rain happening on Saturday and not Friday. I am going to put rain chances equal when it comes to coverage for now, but I really think Friday's chance for rain should be higher. We have a front that noses its way into our area from the north and falls apart right on top of us. Remnants of this front will also be around on Saturday. The higher rain chance on Friday probably means highs on Friday will fail to hit the 90-degree range. Stay up to date with the KDKA Mobile App – which you can download here!
