Searing heat to continue in Central Florida over the weekend
The heat we have seen for the last few days will continue across central Florida. Our high temperatures will range from 91 to 94 across the region, with the highest temperatures in Lake and Marion counties. Our chances of rain have mostly dried up for now. One or two passing showers are possible, primarily along the coast this afternoon and evening. No severe storms are anticipated. Rain chances will slowly increase over the next few days and peak in the middle of the upcoming week. The tropics are quiet for now. We are seeing a lot of Saharan dust over the Caribbean that will inhibit tropical development for at least a week. Click here to download our free news, weather and smart TV apps.

Severe Weather Expected Across Much of the U.S. on Saturday
After a run of severe weather this week, another day of thunderstorm activity was on tap for the Mid-Atlantic, the Southeast and the Southern Plains on Saturday, and the severe weather was expected to persist through the weekend, forecasters said. On Saturday, the threat will be focused over the Southeast, with the highest risk over northern Mississippi and northern Alabama, where clusters of thunderstorms could kick up powerful, damaging winds. When these clusters of thunderstorms become organized, they can 'create their own environment and they become more powerful than a typical thunderstorm,' said Scott Kleebauer, a meteorologist with the Weather Prediction Center. There will also be a low threat of tornadoes on Saturday, 'but the main threat will be wind and that will be across the northern half of Alabama and Mississippi,' he said. On Sunday, the highest area of risk shifts into the southern Plains, especially the Texas Panhandle into western-north Texas and southwest Oklahoma, where thunderstorms could deliver strong winds and large hail, with a moderate risk for tornadoes. Lubbock and Amarillo in Texas and Lawton, Okla., all fall within areas with an enhanced risk of thunderstorm activity. 'I would say the best bet for tornadoes on Sunday would be the Texas Panhandle,' Mr. Kleebauer said. Forecast risk of severe storms for Sunday Some Moderate High The severe weather is being driven by a large and strong storm system moving eastward and interacting with a slow-moving weather front, stretching from the southern Plains through the Ohio Valley. The front is expected to remain nearly stationary over the coming days, said Jennifer Tate, a meteorologist at the Weather Prediction Center. As warm, moist air flows northward into the front, conditions will be favorable for the development of severe thunderstorms. 'That flow coming in from the Gulf, that can bring moisture and instability that are needed to produce those storms,' she said. The setup also brings a risk of flash flooding, especially in areas already saturated from recent rainfall, where repeated rounds of storms are expected. 'With the storms being slow-moving, then there can be multiple rounds of storms affecting the same areas,' Ms. Tate said. 'It makes the soils pretty wet, and then you get another round and that can lead to more flooding.' Flash flood risks will linger. On Saturday the threat falls across southeastern Oklahoma, Arkansas, northern Mississippi and western Tennessee. On Sunday, it shifts into north Texas and south Oklahoma. A gradual improvement in conditions is expected early next week, although some storm activity may still continue in the region.

After heavy rains bring flash flooding to the Pittsburgh area, cleanup efforts begin
Friday evening was a flat-out dangerous time to be outside as heavy rains hit the region and brought fast, flash flooding. Now, on Saturday, a ton of cleanup lies ahead. The streets were flooded in Wall Borough, leaving many to grab whatever they could and get out, leaving the mess behind. That mess included sheds being damaged, cars submerged, and even a natural gas line being exposed. Valley Avenue in Wall Borough turned into a river as torrential waters rushed down the street, leaving residents shocked and stunned. "[It] looks pretty bad, the roads tore up, I have water coming through the walls of my basement and into my living room," said Pattie Marshall, a resident of Valley Avenue. The severe weather swept through the Pittsburgh area, not just on Valley Avenue, but others, leaving the same results: flash flooding and water rescues. Meanwhile, in Wall Borough, the streets were covered with debris, damaged homes, sheds that were pulled off their foundations, and vehicles pushed into fences. Luckily, emergency crews were able to move in quickly and get the road reopened. No injuries were reported during the flooding, but now, many are left with damaged homes and a big cleanup effort ahead of them. Impacts from Friday's strong storms Not far from Wall Borough, a car became nearly completely submerged in water on the Tri-Boro Expressway in Monroeville.

A spokesperson for Allegheny County said swift water rescue teams were sent to impacted areas, including North Versailles and White Oak. At least three rescues were made from two homes in North Versailles, and one person was rescued from a car in floodwaters in White Oak.
