Isolated storms could be strong to severe
As storms track farther east through the early afternoon, there is a low-end, level 1//5 risk for severe weather in far eastern portions of Polk county and most of Highlands county. This is driven by the risk of wind gusts higher than 58 mph within some strong cells. Small, melting hail is also possible.
Highs still run slightly warmer than average Sunday in the low 90s. Expect a mix of clouds and sun to be left behind once the rain clears.
Rain chances increase significantly with a 70% chance of rain and storms Monday.

Will There Be Flooding In Florida? What We Know About Tropical Storm Dexter Potentially Forming
A wet and rainy Florida could soon see even more precipitation in the coming days, according to the National Weather Service, which has warned the Gulf Coast will face a flood-generating system that could form into Tropical Storm Dexter. Rain is forecast to increase later this week in western Florida (Photo by JIM WATSON/AFP via Getty ...

Conditions appear 'favorable' for development once the disturbance reaches the northern Gulf on Wednesday—if it reaches tropical storm strength it would be named Tropical Storm Dexter, which would mark the Atlantic hurricane season's fourth named storm. Regardless of whether or not the system becomes named, Florida and its neighboring states should expect significant rain this week, with up five to seven inches of precipitation forecast in places like Tampa, Florida, and Mobile, Alabama.

Tropical Disturbance Threatens Days of Heavy Rain Along the Gulf Coast
A tropical disturbance and the heavy rain moving along with it will bring a risk of flash flooding to Florida and the central Gulf Coast in coming days, particularly to southern Louisiana, including New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Key Things to Know Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center said there's a 40 percent chance the system could intensify into a tropical depression on Wednesday, before it pushes into southern Louisiana on Thursday and then likely weakens. Heavy rain could produce localized flash flooding over portions of Florida through Wednesday and could also bring flooding to coastal areas of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, beginning Wednesday and continuing through the weekend. Multiple flood watches were in place along the Gulf Coast. A tropical disturbance is a loose cluster of rain showers and thunderstorms. It's often the first stage in a tropical storm but this system off the coast of Florida is not expected to become a named storm. The disturbance was drifting westward across the central portion of the Florida Peninsula on Tuesday, bringing heavy rain in an area spread between Orlando and Jacksonville. A series of flood watches were in effect across Central Florida with most locations predicted to measure two to four inches of rain. North Florida and the Panhandle are expected to get hit with heavy rain on Tuesday into Wednesday as the disturbance moves west into the northeast Gulf. As the disturbance moves over the water on Wednesday, it's likely to organize into a tropical depression, pushing across the Gulf and bringing a chance for heavy rain to coastal areas of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. On Thursday, the system is expected to veer north, pushing inland into southern Louisiana. New Orleans is most likely to receive three to six inches of rain Wednesday to Sunday, but could measure up to eight to 10 inches of rain in the worst case scenario, according to the Weather Service. Exactly how much rain falls will depend on the path of the disturbance. New Orleans will see more rain if it tracks further east. If it moves west, Baton Rouge could see more rain, but so could the Atchafalaya Basin, a swamp area where flooding is less of a concern. 'The bulk of the rainfall will be on Thursday and Friday, lingering into Saturday, potentially even Sunday,' said Megan Williams, a meteorologist at the Weather Service office serving the New Orleans and Baton Rouge areas. The Atlantic hurricane season got off to a slow start. But forecasters at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said they expect it to be an above-average season, with 13 to 19 total named storms by the time the it ends in November. A typical season has 14 named storms.

According to the maps, the counties of London, Surrey, Hampshire, and Kent are among the areas that will see the extreme weather. Much of the Midlands – including major cities like Birmingham, Nottingham and Leicester – are likely to see temperatures varying largely from 26C and 28C, the weather maps have suggested. The northern areas of the country are likely to remain cooler as compared to the other parts of the UK. According to the weather maps, cities such as Edinburgh, Aberdeen Inverness and Wick may see the mercury levels oscillating between 16 and 18C on July 30. The Met Office's long-range forecast between July 30 and August 13 reads: "The end of July and first part of August will probably see a continuation of similar weather to the previous week or so - this being generally rather changeable with spells of rain or showers mixed in with some drier, brighter days. "Towards mid-August, there are tentative signs that high pressure may become rather more dominant, which would bring more in the way dry, settled weather more widely. "Temperatures are expected to continue to run above average overall, with a greater likelihood, compared to the preceding couple of weeks, of very warm or hot spells to develop by mid-August, especially further south and east." The dramatic maps comes at the time when the Met Office revealed that record-breaking and extreme weather has become increasingly commonplace in the UK due to the change in the climate conditions. The National Weather Agency explained that extreme hot weather and rainfall are becoming the norm in the country, with the last three years being the UK's top five warmest on record. 1. London 2. Surrey 3. West Sussex 4. East Sussex 5. Hampshire 6. Berkshire 7. Kent 8. Bucks 9. Herts 10. Oxfordshire
