Scattered showers across South Florida late morning into the afternoon
Grab an umbrella before you head out the door because scattered showers and storms are in the forecast for Tuesday.
The NEXT Weather team tracked a few showers across the area in the early morning hours, and additional rain is on the way, especially for the late morning through early afternoon.
Keep an umbrella handy.
NEXT Weather
The combination of rain and clouds should help to keep temperatures in the mid to upper 80s across the area, but "feels like" temperatures will climb to the mid to upper 90s.
The chance of rain trends even higher for Wednesday and Thursday as showers will grow more widespread throughout the afternoon hours on both days. While isolated storms with heavy downpours, lightning and strong wind can't be ruled out, the overall severe weather threat is low.
Another round of Saharan dust will arrive late week.
NEXT Weather
Saharan dust, which hung over South Florida late last week into the weekend, has cleared out, but another round is set to arrive late Thursday into Friday. This next batch of dust is expected to linger throughout the upcoming weekend and will help to reduce the chance of rain to 20% for Sunday - Father's Day.
Afternoon highs will remain in the upper 80s through the next seven days.

Chicago weather: Lake breezes bring cooler temps
The Brief Cooler lake breezes will return today, keeping temperatures in the 70s near the shore and mid-80s inland. A few isolated showers are possible through the weekend, with the highest rain chances on Saturday and again early next week. Father's Day will be mostly cloudy but mild, with highs near 80 away from the lake. CHICAGO - The phrase "cooler by the lake" returns to our parlance in coming days. That includes today. What we know Away from the lake, highs will be in the mid 80s and then lake-cooled air will spread inland later this afternoon knocking temperatures down through the 70s. Skies will be partly sunny with only a very small chance of an isolated shower. Tonight will be mostly cloudy with lows not far from 60 degrees. What's next Tomorrow there is a slightly greater chance for scattered showers, particularly from the city and points south. Highs will likely reach the low 80s away from the lake. Over the weekend, Saturday looks to have the higher chance of scattered showers, but it will certainly be no all-day wash out. Highs will not be far from 80° but it will be significantly cooler near the lake. On Father's Day it will be partly to mostly cloudy with highs again not far from 80 away from the lake. Temperatures climb a few degrees Monday and Tuesday and both days could feature scattered showers and thunderstorms.

Code Orange Air Quality Alert issued for parts of DC region Thursday
WASHINGTON - A hot and humid Thursday will bring a Code Orange Air Quality Alert for parts of the Washington, D.C., area, as temperatures climb into the 90s. Morning temperatures will start in the upper-60s to low-70s, with humidity increasing throughout the day. High pressure overhead will push out lingering Canadian wildfire smoke but bring in more humid air. Skies will remain mostly sunny, but area residents should take precautions, stay hydrated, and limit time outdoors due to air quality concerns. Friday and weekend outlook What we know Friday will be hot and humid, with highs in the upper 80s. Scattered showers and storms could develop in the afternoon, helping keep temperatures below 90 degrees. There will be the chance of pop-up storms after 2 p.m., though not all areas will see rain. Saturday and Sunday will see increased storm chances with more unsettled conditions. Anyone with outdoor Father's Day plans should check the forecast, as storm chances remain through Sunday and into early next week. A code ORANGE air quality alert means that air pollution concentrations within the region may become unhealthy for sensitive groups. The National Weather Service says sensitive groups include children, the elderly, and people suffering from asthma, heart disease, or other lung diseases. The effects of air pollution can be minimized by avoiding outdoor exercise or strenuous activity.

Northern Lights Alert: Here's Where Aurora Borealis May Appear Thursday
A group of states across the northern U.S. will have a chance to see the northern lights Thursday, with more areas likely to see the phenomenon as some geomagnetic storms are expected later this week, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Some 'minor' to 'moderate' geomagnetic storms are likely later this week, forecasters said. Auroral activity is forecast with a Kp index of three on a scale of nine for Thursday night, suggesting the northern lights will be 'quite pleasing to look at' for stargazers in the right areas, as the displays will likely be more active farther from the poles. Thursday's aurora forecast follows some 'minor' geomagnetic storms late Wednesday, which brought a likelihood for northern lights displays to nearly 15 states, NOAA's three-day forecast indicates. Some 'minor' to 'moderate' geomagnetic storms are expected Saturday night because of sustained solar winds, NOAA said, which could increase the Kp index forecast to nearly six, though a Kp index of four is projected for Friday. Most of Canada and Alaska will have a higher chance of seeing the northern lights, with a lesser opportunity forecast for parts of northeastern Washington, northern Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, northern Minnesota, northern Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. (See map below.) Thursday's view line. About 10 states will have an opportunity to view the northern lights Friday, with a lower chance forecast for Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Michigan and Maine, with the highest likelihood forecast for Alaska. NOAA suggests traveling to a high, north-facing and unobstructed vantage point away from light pollution between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. local time. If using a smartphone, NASA recommends using a tripod to stabilize the image, enabling night mode and disabling flash. With a regular camera, photography experts told National Geographic it's best to use a wide-angle lens, an aperture or F-stop of four or less and a focus set to the furthest possible setting. Geomagnetic storms disrupt Earth's magnetic fields around the north and south poles, where electrons accelerate and 'bombard' the upper atmosphere while creating aurora borealis. More aurora borealis displays are expected through early 2026, according to projections from NASA and NOAA, after a 'solar maximum' was reached on the sun's surface last year. This peak, achieved periodically over the sun's 11-year cycle, represents an increase in solar events like solar flares and coronal mass ejections. These events are also responsible for the northern lights, as electrons from these events collide with molecules of oxygen and nitrogen in the Earth's atmosphere, causing them to become 'excited' before releasing energy in the form of swirling lights.
