NEXT Weather Alert: Gusty winds, heavy rain and local flooding to hit South Florida
Saturday is a NEXT Weather Alert Day for all of South Florida from noon until 5 p.m. Scattered storms will develop around midday. Some of the storms could turn strong to severe with the potential for damaging gusty winds, heavy rain, localized flooding, small hail and frequent lightning due to a frontal boundary, plenty of moisture and instability in the atmosphere. The Storm Prediction center has placed South Florida under a marginal (level 1out of 5) risk of severe weather today. The rain chance is higher on Sunday with scattered to widespread storms possible with the potential for heavy downpours and localized flooding. As the frontal boundary stalls, we remain unsettled with high rain chances through the middle of next week. Once drier, Saharan air moves in late next week, the rain chance will decrease a bit.

California heat could threaten long-standing temperature records. How long will warm weather last?
Hot weather will grip California for one more day, threatening long-standing temperature records before a significant cool-down Sunday. A high-pressure system will continue to keep skies generally clear across Northern and Central California on Saturday, trapping hot air beneath it. The air mass in the lower atmosphere is expected to warm by a couple of degrees Saturday, which would typically translate to similar warming at ground level, but a complex wind pattern could throw off forecasts. The area of high pressure will be flanked by two areas of low pressure, one spinning off the coast of Southern California and another approaching the Oregon coast. Together, these two low-pressure systems will complicate wind and temperature patterns across the Golden State on Saturday. In the Bay Area, a few degrees of cooling is forecast nearly everywhere as marine-chilled winds increase. A heat advisory will be in effect from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday for the interior East Bay valleys and the North Bay interior mountains. On Friday, the heat advisory covered a larger swath of the Bay Area, but relatively cooler winds should keep the South Bay in the 80s to low 90s Saturday, short of heat advisory criteria. Triple-digit temperatures should also be avoided in the East Bay valleys Saturday as the sea breeze hits in the midafternoon, but highs will still be well above average, in the mid-90s. San Francisco's microclimates will again be on full display. Ocean Beach may struggle to hit 60 degrees while neighborhoods on the east side of the city should surpass 70 degrees. Oakland will probably wind up a degree or two shy of 80 degrees. In the Central Valley, Saturday will probably be even hotter than Friday in many locations. Highs are forecast to range from 101 to 108 degrees. The National Weather Service forecasts highs of 105 degrees in Merced (Merced County) and Hanford (Kings County), which would tie daily records in each city. A few other cities could be just short of their hottest May day in recorded history. The delta breeze may keep temperatures in west Sacramento around 100 degrees, but areas just north and east of the city, such as Roseville, will be close to 105 degrees. If the delta breeze holds off longer than expected, Sacramento Executive Airport could challenge a monthly temperature record. Red Bluff and Chico could reach 107 degrees Saturday. Sunday will mark an abrupt end to the hot spell. The high-pressure system is predicted to break down rapidly with temperatures dropping to the 60s to low 70s near the bay shoreline and 70s to low 80s in Wine Country and the interior East Bay. Even the Sacramento Valley will drop to the 80s to low 90s, only 5 to 7 degrees above average. Sierra, Southern California thunderstorms The low-pressure system spinning off the Southern California coast is expected to absorb remnant moisture from Tropical Storm Alvin this weekend, which will raise the chance of thunderstorms. The Storm Prediction Center forecasts thunderstorms across the Sierra Nevada and the Mojave Desert on Saturday. Thunderstorms will likely become more widespread Sunday, as the threat expands to the Antelope Valley and Transverse Ranges. A mix of wet and dry lightning strikes are possible, along with erratic wind gusts. It's possible rare May rain could make an appearance in Palm Springs and the desert areas if thunderstorms pop up. Palm Springs averages just 0.05 inches in May, but Sunday's storms could add up to a tenth of an inch or more.

More storms possible in Maryland on Saturday
It was a quieter start to the day on Saturday. Some neighborhoods woke up to breezy and gusty winds but also a few showers to start the final day of May. We'll see a few hours of quiet weather before another round of showers and possibly a few storms develop this afternoon and evening. The Storm Prediction Center has placed all of Maryland in a level 1 out of 5 risk for severe weather today. The threat is lower than Friday but still be aware of changing weather conditions. Damaging wind gusts are the greatest threat for any stronger storms on Saturday in Maryland. Once storms move out this evening, we are in for a quieter stretch. We've heard your complaints about the cool and wet month we've had for May (although all of this wet weather has significantly improved our drought). Warmer and drier weather is on the way to start June. Sunday is the pick of the two weekend days. Not only will it be drier and brighter but temperatures will be a touch warmer as well. We're looking at highs around the mid-70s across the area. From there, we're in a warming trend. Temperatures this week return to and will quickly surpass normal highs for early June. It'll feel more like mid-July before the week is done. You'll also notice an uptick in humidity around midweek as temperatures rise. Our next rain chance holds off until late week.

Few showers & storms Saturday, beautiful Sunday!
Saturday sees a secondary cold front arrive from the north, providing more scattered showers for the region, especially early. Though we will have a few showers and storms on Saturday, this front will bring in nicer weather for the second half of the weekend and we will begin to see signs of this late Saturday as a drying pattern begins. High temperatures will be in the mid 60s. One or two of those storms could provide the risk for a strong wind gust or two, especially in our southern counties near Virginia. The Storm Prediction Center has issued a level one marginal risk for severe weather for this threat. Sunday looks fantastic for any outdoor activities! We'll see plenty of sunshine with high pressure in control, along with drier air. It will be the perfect wrap to the weekend with highs in the upper 60s. Monday continues the drier and gradual warmer trend with plenty of sunshine expected and high temperatures climbing up into the mid 70s. Tuesday is also dry with a lot of sunshine expected and highs near 80 – an eastern U.S. high pressure system will allow the dry weather to continue and the heat to build. Wednesday provides yet another warm and dry day on the way. We'll see high temperatures approach the mid 80s! Our warmest day so far in 2025 is 84 degrees back on April 19th – we will have a couple of opportunities to reach that on Wednesday and Thursday! Thursday gives our region one more day where we should remain dry with a good bit of sunshine and temperatures climbing up into the mid 80s. We will see clouds on the increase as our next system approaches for Friday. High temperatures once again will be in the mid 80s – the summer-like feel will be here for sure! Cicadas returning to West Virginia in 2025: What counties will see them? Friday begins another round of unsettled weather with a system scooting toward the region. As a result, scattered showers and storms will be likely, especially by the afternoon with highs near 80. Looking ahead in your extended forecast, we are shaping up to be much warmer. Though the pattern becomes a bit more unsettled once again Saturday into Sunday, temperatures will remain in the 70s – and that warmth does not appear to be going away anytime soon.
