Widespread showers, thunderstorms across South Florida
The chance of rain remains high due to plenty of moisture keeping the atmosphere juicy and unstable. Scattered showers and storms will be moving in with the potential for heavy downpours, lightning and gusty winds at times.
Afternoon highs will be in the mid to upper 80s.
Thursday will remain unsettled due to lingering moisture. Scattered storms will be possible with some heavy rain in spots. Afternoon highs will be in the upper 80s.
On Friday, there will be a drier weather pattern with lower chances of rain that will last through the weekend. With less rain and clouds around, expect more heat. Highs will soar to the low 90s and it will feel like the upper 90s and 100s when you factor in the humidity.
The CBS Miami NEXT Weather team is tracking a broad area of low pressure that continues to move westward across the Florida Panhandle. It is forecast to continue moving westward and could emerge, or redevelop, over the far northeastern to north-central portion of the Gulf, reaching the coast of Louisiana by Thursday.
The National Hurricane Center is giving this system a 40% (medium potential) chance) of development over the next two to seven days.
In its Tropical Weather Outlook, the National Hurricane Center said "if this system moves far enough offshore, environmental conditions over the Gulf appear generally favorable for additional development, and a tropical depression could still form over the next couple of days before the system moves fully inland by the end of the week."

Sunday is a comfortable start to the week before sweltering heat returns to Pittsburgh area
Last night into this morning's thunderstorm complex did not fully materialize as well as previously anticipated. Some mid-level dry air likely played a role in keeping activity less widespread. WEATHER LINKS: Current Conditions | School Closings & Delays | Submit Your Weather Photos Still, there are some scattered showers moving across our area this morning, along with a few isolated storms into northern portions of West Virginia. All of Western Pennsylvania remains within a very warm and humid air mass and will continue to do so through the early to late evening hours of Sunday. A cold front will be moving in from the northwest and enter our northwest counties around 2 p.m., Pittsburgh metro by 6-7 p.m., and Northern West Virginia by 3-4 a.m. Monday. Some additional isolated to widely scattered storms are expected with the front as it progresses southeast this afternoon and early evening. While the front will be moving from northwest to southeast, any thunderstorm cells will move from west to east and should move quickly enough to preclude a flash flood threat. Coverage will overall be limited as well since winds along the front will not be converging strongly. Areas from the Pittsburgh metro and points south and west have the highest chance of rain. Drier and cooler air will filter in Monday morning, leading to a gradual decrease in clouds. Morning lows on Monday and Tuesday will be refreshing, with most of our area in the upper 50s to low 60s and highs in the upper 70s to low 80s, which is closer to normal for this time of year. This brief break in the excessively humid and hot conditions will be very short-lived as winds begin to flip around to the southwest by Wednesday afternoon. Temperatures will respond by warming into the upper 80s to near 90 for highs on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday will likely both exceed 90 degrees for air temperatures as a strong upper-level high migrates east to our region and low-level winds transport hot air into Western Pennsylvania from states to the southwest. Evaporation of moisture from soils and trees should help keep air temperatures only in the low 90s, but this added moisture will make for dangerous heat indices near 100 degrees Thursday and Friday afternoon and evening. The high levels of moisture will keep air temperatures from dropping much at night, with lows in the low to mid 70s, especially in the core of the urban heat island of Pittsburgh. It is likely that the National Weather Service Pittsburgh Office will issue a Heat Advisory to account for this potential. The upper high or heat dome will begin to weaken by Friday and allow a couple of weak disturbances to slip in, leading to storm chances by late Friday and Saturday. Given the amounts of heat and moisture that will be in place, there will be plenty of instability to possibly support a severe storm potential as well.

Typhoon Wipha hits mainland China after disrupting travel in Hong Kong
A typhoon disrupted travel around Hong Kong and southern China on Sunday, causing widespread flight cancellations and forcing people to seek shelter during strong gusts and heavy rain. Typhoon Wipha — which started as a tropical storm and was declared a typhoon overnight — brought 'heavy squally showers,' high sea swells and maximum sustained winds of 62 mph to Hong Kong by Sunday afternoon, the territory's Weather Observatory said. By early evening, China's meteorological agency said Wipha had made landfall in southern Guangdong province, weakening as it moved west. But Hong Kong's Weather Observatory warned residents to stay on alert for its potential aftereffect, including 'gale to storm force southeasterly winds' and high sea swells. In Hong Kong, the South China Morning Post reported that 253 people sought refuge in government shelters and 26 went to public hospitals for medical treatment because of the storm. The SCMP said there were 471 reports of fallen trees, with photos showing one that had crushed a car. Hong Kong's Hospital Authority said it canceled all services at its general outpatient clinics. Meanwhile, Hong Kong's flagship carrier, Cathay Pacific, said it delayed or canceled all inbound flights before 6 p.m. Sunday. In an early-evening update, it said it expected to resume departing flights once adverse weather subsided. Hong Kong International Airport said it suspended its SkyPier Terminal service connecting Hong Kong with several Chinese cities and Macao. Classes were canceled at schools, and Hong Kong Disneyland closed because of the storm. Wipha made landfall in Taishan, a city in the southwest of Guangdong province, around 5:50 p.m. Sunday, according to China's National Meteorological Center. Shortly after it landed, it weakened from typhoon strength to a strong tropical storm, the agency said, adding that Wipha was expected to gradually weaken as it moved along the western coast of Guangdong, before making another landfall on the northern coast of Vietnam late Monday. Earlier on Sunday, Wipha prompted Hong Kong's Weather Observatory to issue its highest warning level, a Hurricane Signal No. 10. But the agency downgraded the warning later in the day and said winds were weakening and the storm was 'departing from Hong Kong gradually.' Still, it said it will issue a No. 3 Strong Wind Signal at 7:40 p.m. on Sunday. The storm was approaching Vietnam late Sunday and threatened to bring flooding conditions and dangerous weather by Monday, the U.S. Embassy there said, citing the Vietnamese National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting. The embassy said Wipha could 'bring heavy rain and strong, damaging winds to affected areas' as well as 'extensive flooding and mudslides' starting Monday. The extreme weather came the same weekend as dozens died in Vietnam's Ha Long Bay after a boat carrying 46 Vietnamese tourists and three crew members capsized overnight after encountering a sudden storm, according to state media reports. Wipha also caused heavy storms in Taiwan on Saturday and intensified the southwest monsoon rains in the Philippines, according to the country's Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration. The agency said it expected moderate and light rains and thunderstorms to continue in parts of the country into Monday. Thousands took shelter in government facilities, and two people were missing because of the storm, the Philippine Star reported.
