South Florida facing high heat, humidity this weekend
The NEXT Weather team is tracking a hot, humid day from Fort Lauderdale to Key West. Saharan dust is helping to dry-out the atmosphere and minimize pop-up showers across southeastern Florida.
Later Saturday afternoon, storms will build across the Everglades but will die out before making it to the metroplex. A few far western cities may see some small rain showers Saturday night.
As we Track the Tropics, there are no concerns in Florida, but the National Hurricane Center is alerting Texans about a low pressure system over the Yucatan Peninsula on Saturday.
The system will move into the southern Gulf and could develop into a Tropical Depression this weekend before moving ashore into Mexico. It's unlikely to become a named Tropical Storm.
The NEXT Weather 7 Day outlook does include the risk of storms on Monday and Tuesday.
The rest of the week we fall back into our regular summer pattern of afternoon storms and high humidity.
A sneak peak at the NEXT Weather 4th of July forecast shows a few afternoon showers and perfect weather for fireworks across the region.

Hot but less humid Sunday in Philadelphia, tracking showers and storms. See the weather forecast.
A front sliding through the Philadelphia region Saturday night will bring lingering showers that taper off after midnight. While the front stalls near the Delmarva, skies will start to clear locally and with light winds, we could see some patchy fog or mist develop overnight — especially in spots that picked up rain. Temps drop into the low 60s north of the city and hover near 70 in the southern half of the area. CBS News Philadelphia Sunday looks pretty nice overall. North of Philly, expect mostly sunny skies and lower humidity with dew points dipping into the 60s — and even some 50s across the far north. Highs range from the upper 80s to low 90s, with the Poconos near 80. South of the city, clouds linger a bit more, and a few pop-up showers or storms are possible with the stalled boundary nearby, but nothing widespread. By Monday, a warm front starts lifting north, bringing back the humidity and a few scattered showers or storms — especially across southern and western zones. Highs near 90 are likely, and while it'll feel muggy, heat indices currently look to stay just shy of advisory criteria. More widespread showers and storms are expected Monday night as the front moves through. Tuesday is the day to watch closely. A strong cold front combined with increasing wind shear and instability could set the stage for some severe thunderstorms, especially in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Timing and storm evolution still need to be fine-tuned, but damaging wind potential will be on the table. Behind that, things calm down — Wednesday, Thursday and Friday look quieter and a bit more comfortable, although hot and seasonable, just in time for July Fourth celebrations. Here's your 7-day forecast: CBS News Philadelphia Sunday: Mostly sunny. High 90, Low 73. Monday: Few late storms. High 89, Low 72. Tuesday: Storms likely. High 89, Low 76. Wednesday: Sunny skies. High 89, Low 72. Thursday: Bright and sunny. High 89, Low 70. Friday: Mostly sunny. High 86, Low 68. Saturday: Partly cloudy. High 89, Low 67. NEXT Weather Radars Hourly Forecast

Grim warning for Australia's east coast
A low pressure system is set to bring wet and wild weather across Australia's east coast this week. The powerful system is expected to develop near the New South Wales coast by Tuesday and bring consistent rain across Sydney and Newcastle, according to the Bureau of Meteorology. Along the state's east coast between 50 and 150mm or rain is likely within a 48 hour period. Strong winds are also expected from the system and are set to batter eastern New South Wales and southeast Queensland. Northern Queensland and parts of the Northern Territory are also set for an unseasonable band of rainfall throughout Sunday, before the weather moves further south. Chilly temperatures are expected throughout the country this week. Brisbane should expect should up to 30mm of rainfall on Monday before a clear rest of the week. Lows of 11 degrees are expected midweek, with highs of up to 22 degrees. Sydney is set to see morning fog, with rainfall throughout the week — triple digit rainfall could pour down on Tuesday. The temperature will dip as low as 8 degrees, with a cloudy 19 degrees the maximum. Canberra will see negative temperatures on every day except Wednesday, with intermittent rain and cloudy weather throughout the week. Melbourne is expected to see scattered showers throughout the week and temperatures as low as 5 degrees. A top of 15 degrees on Saturday is the warmest the Victorian capital will see this week. Hobart will have a chilly week with lows of 2 degrees on Monday and Tuesday, before it warms up slightly later in the week. Adelaide is expected to have a mostly cloudy week, with one sunny day on Tuesday. Scattered showers are expected on Friday and Saturday. Perth has a cold front incoming, and rainfall is expected throughout the week. Temperatures in the western capital are warmer than its eastern counterparts, with lows of 9 degrees and highs of 22 degrees in the week ahead. Darwin will experience sunny and clear weather, average for the season. Temperatures will hover between 18 and 30 degrees for the week. While the winter temperatures have been chilling Australia across the season, the Bureau of Meteorology's long-range winter forecast suggests day and night temperatures are likely to be above average across Australia for this time of the year. There is also an unseasonal increased risk of fire across parts of South Australia and Victoria.

Tracking strong to severe storms Sunday evening
Saturday has been another hot and humid day across the St. Joseph area. However, there is light at the end of the tunnel, as we can expect some relief from the heat and humidity at the start of the workweek. Sunday is expected to be an active weather day. We'll begin with conditions very similar to today—hot, humid, and with temperatures quickly climbing into the mid-90s. There's a chance for a few spotty showers in the morning, but they'll likely move through quickly and won't be the main concern. In the evening, a low-pressure system approaching from the northwest will bring a more organized and potentially severe line of storms to northwestern Missouri. The National Weather Service has placed our area under a Level 2 out of 5 risk for severe weather Sunday night. The primary threats will be strong straight-line winds and heavy rainfall, which could pose problems as many streams and rivers are already swollen from previous rain events earlier in the week. These storms are expected to taper off by early Monday morning. Behind the system, conditions will improve, with cooler temperatures and noticeably lower humidity. Monday will feel much more comfortable, and this refreshing trend will continue throughout the workweek. Highs will generally stay in the mid to upper 80s, and the forecast looks mostly dry. As we head into the holiday weekend, temperatures will gradually climb back into the 90s by Friday, the Fourth of July. While the weather is expected to remain dry through Friday, there is currently a slight 10% chance of rain on Saturday.
