CWG Live updates: Two days of broiling heat, then a retreat
Welcome to updated around-the-clock by Capital Weather Gang meteorologists. Happening now: Temperatures rise quickly this morning amid high humidity and partly to mostly sunny skies. Afternoon highs reach the mid- to upper 90s, and heat indexes top 100. What's next? Tomorrow is the hottest day of the week, and some evening thunderstorms could pop up. Storms are more widespread on Thursday before a cooling trend heading into the weekend. Today's daily digit — 2/10: The searing heat is almost the worst of the summer. What a bummer. | 🤚 Your call? The digit is a somewhat subjective rating of the day's weather, on a 0-to-10 scale. Forecast in detail Today (Tuesday): Heat builds quickly this morning with 80s moving into the 90s by midday. Into the afternoon, highs reach the mid- to upper 90s under partly to mostly sunny skies. Dew points in the 70s mean heat indexes reach 100 to 105. Be careful with outdoor activities and stay as hydrated as possible. Light breezes from the southwest at about 5 mph offer little relief on this not nice day. Confidence: High Tonight: Partly cloudy, humid and quite uncomfortable as lows fall into the 70s. Areas near downtown could stall closer to 80. Light breezes from the south at about 5 mph. Confidence: High Tomorrow (Wednesday): Our hottest day of the week sends highs into the upper 90s for most with partly to mostly sunny skies and high humidity. Heat indexes of 100 to 105 are again taxing for outdoor activities. A few scattered late-afternoon and evening thunderstorms are possible. Winds are from the southwest at about 5 mph. Confidence: Medium-High Tomorrow night: A shower or thunderstorm is possible, but the main story is another very uncomfortable night with muggy 70s to near 80 for lows. Confidence: Medium-High A look ahead Thursday marks the start of the transition away from this very hot weather. Skies are partly to mostly cloudy with numerous showers and storms, especially in the afternoon and evening. It's still sticky with highs in the upper 80s and low 90s. Thursday night brings more scattered showers and storms as temperatures cool toward about 70 degrees by early Friday. Confidence: Medium The first day of August on Friday sends the heat away, but clouds and scattered showers may linger, especially across the southern part of the area. Highs are in the much more comfortable upper 70s to low 80s. Friday night may still see a few clouds, but humidity is much lower as lows dip into the 60s. Confidence: Medium The first weekend of August may be the nicest summer weekend we have seen in quite some time. Skies are mostly sunny both days and humidity levels are low. Saturday night should be mostly clear with lows in the 60s or even upper 50s in our cooler areas, as humidity stays suppressed. Confidence: Medium-High The nicer weather continues early next week with low humidity and 80s for highs. But temperatures and humidity increase later in the week as highs near 90, and showers and storms also return to the forecast.

Highs Near 49°C, Dusty Winds, & Rain Risk in East: UAE Weather, July 29
The UAE continues to experience extreme summer heat today, with internal areas expected to reach up to 49°C. A surface low-pressure system from the East, paired with an upper air high-pressure extension, is driving the hot and hazy conditions across the country. Expect fair to partly cloudy skies with periods of haze, especially in the Eastern and Southern regions. There's also a chance of convective clouds forming, bringing scattered rainfall in those areas. Winds May Stir Up Dust Winds will be light to moderate, ranging from 10 to 25 km/h, but could gust up to 40 km/h during the day. These gusts may lead to blowing dust and reduced visibility, especially inland.

Dangerous heat lingers around North Texas as work week begins
Monday is going to be a dangerously hot day. A heat advisory is in effect starting at 12 p.m. today and continuing through 7 p.m. tomorrow due to a heat index value reaching up to 107 degrees. Today will be sunny with winds from the south around 5 to 10 mph and a high in the upper 90s. The heat combined with the moisture in the atmosphere will cause the "feels-like" temperatures to be in the triple digits. When your body gets hot, you sweat, which evaporates and cools you off. However, when there is a lot of moisture in the atmosphere, it inhibits the evaporation process, so your body can't cool as quickly. That's what makes days like today dangerous. So far, the majority of July has been below average temperature-wise. In fact, it has been 339 days since Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport recorded a 100-degree or higher day. This streak has been long – there have only been four times in the last 30 years that North Texas has waited this long to see a triple-digit day. This trend ends soon – highs are forecasted to reach the triple digits Tuesday through Thursday. A break from the intense heat will be expected by next weekend due to a cold front. The front will move through the area Friday, dropping temperatures a few degrees and bringing rain chances for the weekend.

Two storms approaching Japan
Japan's weather officials say tropical storm Co-may is approaching Okinawa's main island, after having regained strength Sunday night. The storm is sustaining a maximum wind speed of 72 kilometers per hour, and a maximum instantaneous wind speed reaching up to 108 kilometers per hour. Winds of 54 kilometers per hour or higher were observed within 500 kilometers northeast and within 165 kilometers southwest of the storm's center. Developing rain clouds in limited areas of the Okinawa and Amami regions are being fed by atmospheric conditions rendered unstable by warm, moist air around the storm, and a high pressure system over the Pacific. Minami-Daito Island in Okinawa Prefecture registered its highest recorded rainfall since 1979, when Japan's Meteorological Agency started taking statistics. Rainfall over the 72-hour period through 10:30 a.m. Monday morning hit 527.5 millimeters. That's more than four times the average rainfall for the island in July. The Amami region can expect localized heavy rain accompanying lightning. The 24-hour rainfall forecasts through Tuesday evening are 150 millimeters for the Amami region and 80 millimeters for Okinawa Prefecture. Gusty winds are expected to continue in the Okinawa and Amami regions, creating high wave conditions in the ocean. Meanwhile, Typhoon Krosa is moving north while maintaining its strong power. It is expected to get closest to the Ogasawara Islands overnight. High winds of up to 90 kilometers per hour, gusting at 126 kilometers, are expected over the islands towards Wednesday. Intermittent thunder showers are also expected from Tuesday to Wednesday with chances of localized severe rain. Ogasawara Islands will get up to 150 millimeters of rain over the next 24 hours through Tuesday evening and 100 millimeters more over the next 24-hour period. Rainfall is likely to increase even after that. With the typhoon expected to move slower from Tuesday to Wednesday, the storm's impact may linger. Caution is also advised against lightning strikes and gusty winds.

More than 130 million people brace for sweltering conditions across most of the US
More than 130 million people across most of the United States are on alert for widespread, dangerous heat on Sunday and into the new work week, and parts of the Southeast coast could experience the brunt of the sweltering conditions. The highest temperatures on Sunday will be focused between Savannah, Georgia, and Virginia Beach, Virginia, where extreme heat warnings are in effect as heat indices -- that is, what the temperatures feel like when humidity is factored in -- are forecast to be between 108 and 116 degrees. Extreme heat is also expected to continue on Sunday in the Midwest, where temperatures will feel between 97 to 111 degrees from Lincoln, Nebraska, up into Minneapolis. Charleston, West Virginia, and St. Louis, Missouri, are in store for hot and sticky weather on Sunday, with both cities under extreme heat warnings for feels-like temperatures between 102 and 112. Elsewhere, heat advisories have been issued for Dallas, Texas; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Indianapolis, Indiana; Tampa, Florida; Little Rock, Arkansas; Kansas City, Missouri; and Washington, D.C. Heat indices in those cities are forecast to range from the 90s up to 110 degrees. Looking ahead to the work week, heat advisories are expected to be in effect on Monday and Tuesday for parts of the I-95 corridor from Boston down to New York City and are forecast to stretch into Tuesday, with heat indices expected in the mid-90s to 105 degrees. The potentially life-threatening heat and humidity are expected to continue across the eastern half of the country through Wednesday. Major cities including St. Louis, Memphis, Charlotte, Savannah, Tampa, and Jackson, Mississippi, are all likely all see actual temperatures in the upper 90s to low 100s. A prolonged heat wave is forecast for those regions as an abundance of tropical moisture settling in is expected to drive the feels-like temperatures up to between 105 to 115 degrees over multiple consecutive days. Nighttime and early mornings are not expected to provide relief from the sweltering conditions. Overnight and early morning lows are expected to fall only to the 70s or higher. Between Monday and Wednesday, large portions of the Southeast are expected to be under an extreme heat risk at a four-out-of-four level, including the cities of Atlanta, Charlotte, and Jacksonville and Tallahassee, Florida. Meanwhile, severe storms are expected to produce heavy rains in areas of the upper Midwest on Sunday. Storms that struck the region overnight continued Sunday morning, prompting severe thunderstorm watches from North Dakota to northern Minnesota, and the potential for scattered large hail and damaging winds of up to 70 mph. Later on Sunday, more severe storms are possible for parts of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
