Afternoon showers return to South Florida mid-week
On Tuesday morning, temperatures hovered in the low 80s across the region. With the heating of the day, they will climb into the lower 90s for the afternoon. Despite "feels like" temperatures returning to the triple digits for the early afternoon, no heat advisories are in effect for South Florida. Heat index values, which take into account the temperature and the humidity, will range from the upper 90s to 103 degrees.
The National Weather Service issues a heat advisory when the heat index is expected to reach 105 degrees, or higher, and last for at least two hours.
The NEXT Weather team is tracking a 50-60% chance of scattered showers and storms in the afternoon on Tuesday, favoring Broward and Miami-Dade counties, as moisture moves in from the east. The chance of rain will drop after sunset. On Wednesday and Thursday, there is a 50% chance for scattered showers and storms.
By Friday, Saharan dust and drier air will move in. This will lower the chance of rain for the weekend and bring back hotter conditions with afternoon highs in the lower to mid-90s.

Flash flood warnings trending up in Georgia
Flash floods are becoming increasingly common in Georgia — a phenomenon consistent with climate change. The big picture: Nationally, flash flood warnings have set a new record this year, Axios' Alex Fitzpatrick reports. State of play: This past summer, sudden heavy rains have overwhelmed Atlanta's antiquated sewer infrastructure, damaged people's homes and property and flooded the interstate system. By the numbers: Warnings have been trending up since the mid-2010s, with 27 so far this year from Peachtree City's National Weather Service office, according to a tracker at Iowa State University's Iowa Environmental Mesonet. Context: Climate change"is supercharging the water cycle," sparking heavier precipitation extremes and related flood risks, according to Climate Central, a climate research group. Flashback: In 2003, a record number of warnings was issued in a single year thanks to severe storms in Middle Georgia. Over five days in May, officials counted "124 thunderstorm wind, 95 hail, 51 flash flood, 22 lightning, and 5 heavy rain events," according to a 2003 annual report (PDF).

Heat index could hit 110°F in Richmond this weekend
We hope Richmonders enjoyed this last week of (comparatively) mild temperatures amid the sweltering summer because it's over: Dangerously high heat is back, starting Friday. Why it matters: Heat warnings and advisories are in effect for metro Richmond through Wednesday, according to data from the National Weather Service. The big picture: Another heat dome is bringing the dangerous levels of heat and humidity that the Midwest has been experiencing this week to the East Coast, Axios' Alex Fitzpatrick reports. The main driver is hot, moist air being drawn up from the Atlantic and trapped by a high pressure ridge. Zoom in: The temperature in Richmond will be in the high 90s for the next few days, starting Friday, and the heat index will be well over 100°F, per the National Weather Service Wakefield office. Saturday and Sunday will be especially brutal with heat indices reaching 109°F and 110°F, respectively. High humidity, which Richmonders will feel acutely this weekend, is especially dangerous, as Axios' Tina Reed and Natalie Daher recently reported, disrupting our bodies' ability to regulate temperatures. Threat level: Starting Saturday, the hottest weather in the country will "be found in Virginia and the Carolinas," per the Washington Post. Metro Richmond is under a "major" risk for heat-related issues for anyone without proper hydration or adequate cooling through Wednesday, per the NWS HeatRisk index. Long-duration heat waves can be particularly serious events, with warm evenings offering less of a reprieve and extreme heat having a cumulative effect on our health. During these major risk periods, locals should stay hydrated and in air-conditioned spaces and consider canceling outdoor activities during the hottest part of the day, the NWS advises.
