FOX 35 Weather Impact Day: Heat advisories issued across Central Florida
Advisories have been issued across Central Florida for extreme heat. Highs look to top out in the mid-90s, but the higher dew points will make it feel close to 110°.
Stay hydrated and try not to overexert yourself this afternoon. A ridge of high pressure is in control and that's one of the big reasons why the heat is our big story.
We'll see partly cloudy conditions overnight with lows dipping back into the mid-70s for most locales.
ORLANDO, Fla. - The heat is on once again and that is why the FOX 35 Storm Team has designated Saturday a Weather Impact Day.
What will the weather look like today?
What To Expect
Advisories have been issued across Central Florida for extreme heat. Every county in the FOX 35/FOX 51 viewing area will be impacted.
Highs look to top out in the mid-90s. The heat and humidity combo will be a tough one to combat, especially if you have outdoor plans. Stay hydrated and try not to overexert yourself this afternoon. A ridge of high pressure is in control and that's one of the big reasons why the heat is our big story.
The higher dew points will make it feel close to 110 degrees, with the warmest part of the day peaking between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m.
An isolated storm or two is possible as the sea breezes interact, but with this ridge overhead, it'll be hard to get too much to develop. Most of the activity will likely form over the western portions of our viewing areas and fade by the evening.
Overnight lows will dip back into the middle and upper 70s.
What will the weather look like on Sunday?
What To Expect
We do it all over again on Sunday as highs rebound back into the mid-90s. Dew points in the middle to upper 70s will make it feel more like the upper 100s, which would likely mean we see another round of Heat Advisories issued.
This ridge will continue to dominate our weather pattern, keeping things mainly dry and steamy. A stray storm or two is possible during the heating of the day, but they'll fade away into the evening as we lose the daytime-driven instability.
We'll see partly cloudy conditions overnight with lows dipping back into the mid-70s for most locales.
Tracking the Tropics
Looking ahead
The heat sticks around to kick off the workweek, but this area of high pressure starts to shift back to the west, allowing our weather pattern to become a little cooler and more unsettled. In fact, the same area of tropical moisture that used to be Invest-93L looks to round the ridge of move back toward Florida. Chances of showers and storms rise on Monday, but they still look to be scattered in nature.
This area of low pressure then looks to bring more widespread rain to the region from Tuesday into midweek. With all the moisture in the air, flooding could be a concern, which is something we'll be watching closely.
Another thing we'll be monitoring is if this low could reorganize into a depression as it works closer to the Gulf. Rain chances stay elevated through the late week with afternoon readings a little cooler, topping out near 90.
We're also watching an area of showers and storms with a tropical wave in the Atlantic. This disturbance has a 20% chance of development over the next 7 days.
It looks likely to encounter a more hostile environment later next week that should limit any sort of major development. Stay tuned!

Monday will be hot, humid in Philadelphia region amid another heat wave. Here's the weather forecast.
Get ready for another heat wave! In fact, the high temperature of 91 degrees at the Philadelphia International Airport Sunday afternoon kicked off the fifth heat wave of the summer as temperatures are expected to peak in the mid-upper 90s through Wednesday afternoon. In addition to the heat and humidity on Sunday, the scattered showers and thunderstorms eventually cleared out to give way to mostly clear skies to start things off Monday morning. Temperatures will begin in the mid-70s across the region before warming into the low-middle 90s Monday afternoon. Just like on Sunday, the humidity on Monday afternoon will make it feel much warmer with feels-like temperatures soaring to near 100 degrees. While it will be unseasonably hot, it won't quite reach record territory with Monday's record high at 100 degrees. By Tuesday, the heat turns up even more with high temperatures across the region likely in the mid-upper 90s. The forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday in Philadelphia is for a high of 98 degrees, which would tie the record for both days. But what will it feel like? Along with the increasing temperatures, the humidity will also be on the rise, which will make it feel like anywhere between 100-105 degrees. When temperatures climb this high, it can be dangerous for anyone without adequate ways to stay cool and hydrated. As a result, the NEXT Weather Team has issued a NEXT Weather Alert for Tuesday and Wednesday to keep you aware of this dangerous heat. By Thursday, showers and storms will develop ahead of an approaching cold front that will put an end to this heat wave and usher in much cooler air by Friday. Friday is the start of August, and the start of an extended cooler stretch of air bringing relief from the heat through the first week of August. Highs Friday and into the weekend will be in the upper 70s to low 80s. Monday: Heat turns up. High 95, Low 74. Tuesday: NEXT Weather Alert for heat. High 98, Low 75. Wednesday: NEXT Weather Alert for heat. High 98, Low 77. Thursday: Storms end the heat. High 83, Low 77. Friday: Much cooler. High 79, Low 67. Saturday: Partly cloudy. High 81, Low 64. Sunday: Sunny skies. High 83, Low 62. NEXT Weather Radars Hourly Forecast

Ridge to push temperatures 10+ degrees above seasonal in B.C.
Prepare for extreme heat to build into southern British Columbia over the next couple of days as a substantial ridge of high pressure parks across the province. Temperatures are set to soar more than 10 degrees above seasonal in some communities as the heat builds through the middle of the week. Given the forecast and what's already fallen, it's safe to say that this is going to turn out to be one of the driest Julys on record for many locations across the South Coast. DON'T MISS: Temperatures soar as ridge settles over B.C. Extreme heat will arrive Tuesday and Wednesday as a hefty upper-level ridge settles over the province. Tuesday will feature temperatures in the upper 20s near the water, with 30 degrees possible just inland across Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland. Locations across the Interior will come in 4-6 degrees warmer, with readings surging into the lower to mid-30s. Wednesday will come in even warmer, with temperatures easily surpassing 30 degrees within just a few hundred metres of the beaches, with widespread readings in the middle to upper 30s throughout the central and southern Interior. RELATED: Heat affects everyone. Vulnerable people are especially susceptible to heat-related illnesses, including those with chronic health conditions and folks living without air conditioning. Be sure to check on your elderly family, friends, and neighbours. The hot and dry weather will also pose a risk for increased wildfire activity throughout the region. One of the driest Julys on record This is typically Vancouver's driest month of the year—but the lack of rain over the past couple of weeks is truly exceptional. Vancouver has only seen 17 mm of rain this month, compared to the 34.1 mm of rain that falls in the city during a typical July. Victoria measured only 0.2 mm of precipitation this month, making it the second-driest July on record. The city, which averages 19.5 mm of rain in a normal July, has gone completely rain-free five times during the month. Victoria's most recent rainless July occurred in 2021. Comox hasn't seen a soaking rain since 10 mm fell on May 19. This month will end as the seventh-driest July on record there, with only 2 mm of precipitation in the gauges compared to the normal total of 23.8 mm.

Early morning storms cause wind damage, power outages in Grand Forks
Jul. 27—GRAND FORKS — A line of thunderstorms that blew through early Sunday morning caused wind damage in Greater Grand Forks and tornado warnings south of the city. The National Weather Service office in Grand Forks reported that the line of thunderstorms caused wind gusts up to 73 mph as it went through the city shortly after 2 a.m. Sunday, July 27. The NWS has gotten reports of tree damage and parts of the city and the county, but not many reports of hail, which was a possibility with the storm. "The line of severe storms had mainly winds as they came through Grand Forks County," said Jennifer Ritterling, a NWS meteorologist. "I've seen several (wind damage) reports and some have called in with trees down and large branches." And as of Sunday morning, there was a chance that more storm weather could be on the way, into Sunday evening. "There is a continued chance for some severe weather, albeit not as high as it was (Saturday)," Ritterling said. "Greatest chances are going to be south and east, more lake country than over Grand Forks." Two tornado warnings were posted south of Grand Forks as the storms went through, in the areas of Northwood and Thompson. All warnings have since expired. Power was knocked out in parts of Grand Forks and East Grand Forks, according to reports from Xcel Energy, East Grand Forks Water and Light and Grand Forks Emergency Management. Crews are working to get power restored, and all outages in East Grand Forks were resolved Sunday morning. Outages in parts of Grand Forks continued into the morning, with around 1,324 customers without power as of 9:30 a.m., according to Grand Forks Emergency Management. Damage throughout the city mostly involved downed tree branches, although construction signs were blown over and garbage cans were strewn throughout town. Devin McCleary, an employee of the Grand Forks Parks Department, said he was called to work at roughly 7 a.m. He spent Sunday morning with a lift truck and chainsaw, clearing downed branches from streets. "Right now, we're just getting rid of hazards and the stuff that's blocking the streets and safety issues and then we'll come back through and actually clean it up," he said. The damage, he said, "is pretty decent, but I've seen worse," he said. The city did not receive any damage to infrastructure, according to Grand Forks City Administrator Todd Feland. The city is currently assessing tree damage and will be supporting the Grand Forks Park District in cleanup for trees that fell or received damage. "The streets are strewn with leaves and branches, so we'll get those cleaned up this week with street sweepers and see if we have to do some pick-up with trucks with some of the trees," Feland said. Unofficial rainfall numbers showed less than a quarter-inch in Sunday morning's storm. After Sunday, the weather is expected to calm, with highs in the mid-70s to 80s and mostly sunny weather.
