FIRST ALERT WEATHER: Heat relief as a stormy weather pattern begins
The Action News Jax First Alert Weather Team is tracking a dry and hot Saturday, but expect scattered afternoon storms to bring heavy rain, lightning, and gusty winds. Notes from the First Alert Weather Team: Saturday morning is dry and warm with temperatures in the upper 70s and lower 80s. Temperatures will rise into the mid-90s one more time Saturday, especially in Florida. Heating will quickly end with the development of scattered to numerous thunderstorms by the afternoon. Storms will be capable of very heavy rain, causing some flooding, frequent lightning, and strong wind gusts. A few storms could linger well past sunset Saturday night. Showers and storms will continue at times Sunday with a stalled front nearby. This will keep abundant cloud cover and rain around, which will give 'cooler' than average temperatures. An overall wet pattern continues into next week with daily rounds of showers and thunderstorms. This weekend, 1-3″ of rain is likely in many neighborhoods, especially across SE GA. Locally higher amounts of 3-4″ are possible. TROPICS: No active storms and no areas of concern for now. Long-term signals beyond 7 days indicate the potential for some tropical activity over the Caribbean/Gulf/SW Atlantic. The next name is Dexter. First Alert Weather 7-day forecast: SATURDAY: Hot and humid with scattered mid-day and afternoon thunderstorms, some heavy. HIGH: 95 SATURDAY NIGHT: A few storms through the evening, then partly cloudy after midnight. LOW: 75 SUNDAY: Warm and humid with scattered mid-day and afternoon thunderstorms, some heavy. 75/87 MONDAY: Partly cloudy with mid-day and afternoon showers and thunderstorms. 74/89 TUESDAY: Partly cloudy with scattered afternoon thunderstorms. 73/92 WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy with scattered afternoon thunderstorms. 74/91 THURSDAY: Partly cloudy with scattered afternoon thunderstorms. 75/92 FRIDAY: Partly cloudy with scattered afternoon thunderstorms. 74/91 WATCH THE FORECAST | DOWNLOAD THE APPS ALLERGY TRACKER: See what the pollen counts look like in our area LISTEN: Mike Buresh 'All the Weather, All the Time' Podcast INTERACTIVE RADAR: Keep track of the rain as it moves through your neighborhood SHARE WITH US: Send us photos of the weather you're seeing in your area ⬇️ Solve the daily Crossword

Maryland heat wave grows worse, strong storms will end it Thursday
Our current heat wave will grow more intense Tuesday. Temperatures and humidity will be higher than on Monday. We'll have another brutal day of heat and humidity Wednesday before the extreme heat departs the area Thursday with heavy thunderstorms. Monday marked day number four of Maryland's current heat wave. High temperatures rose into the middle 90s with abundant sunshine. High temperatures only get hotter Tuesday into Wednesday. Alert Days are in effect Tuesday through Wednesday due to the dangerous combination of heat and humidity. Heat index temperatures will soar well over 100° as early as mid to late morning and the heat index will remain above 100° through at least the dinner hour. Actual temperatures will soar into the mid and upper 90s. Some highly urbanized areas, like Baltimore City, could see high temperatures approach the century mark. The Orioles are playing a doubleheader Tuesday. Both games look extremely hot, but the first game will be the toughest to endure with blazing sunshine and temperatures in the middle to upper 90s. Please wear light weight, light colored clothing along with a hat and sunglasses. Hydrate frequently during the game and take breaks from direct sunshine. First pitch temperature for game 1 will be around 93° with temperatures in the 90s for the entire game. Feels like temperatures will be over 100° for the entire game. The second game at 6:35 p.m. also looks hot and steamy. First pitch temperature is forecast to be 93°. At least for the second game, the sun won't be as much of a factor. Even with a night sky, temperatures stay close to 90° for most of the innings. The good news for both games is that thunderstorms won't be an issue, so no rain delays or postponements will occur. A slow-moving cold front will approach us late Wednesday into Wednesday night. Thunderstorm coverage looks rather isolated Wednesday evening, but the storms that do manage to form could be severe. The main impacts would be drenching downpours, intense lightning, and localized damaging winds. Most neighborhoods across central and eastern Maryland will stay dry Wednesday evening and night. An additional wave of low pressure will develop along the cold front Thursday into Friday. The timing of the cold front is now trending toward the afternoon and evening hours. This would allow for heat and humidity to build Thursday morning and midday ahead of the developing storms. This means the threat for pockets of damaging winds and flash flooding is increasing due to the available heat and humidity for storms to thrive. There could be a few broken lines of strong to severe storms Thursday, especially 3 p.m. through 11 p.m. The WJZ First Alert Weather Team is monitoring Thursday for the potential of a First Alert Weather Day for severe weather and/or heavy rainfall. If new computer model information remains consistent on timing and intensity of Thursday's storms, a First Alert Weather Day will be issued for Thursday soon. This same cold front will continue to inch southward on Friday, so showers linger throughout a good chunk of the day. With the cold front being to our south, major heat relief will be felt with high temperatures only reaching the middle to upper 70s. At this time, the weather this weekend looks simply outstanding! High pressure will be arriving from the northwest. This will help draw down some refreshing air from Canada Friday night through the weekend. In addition to the comfortable temperatures, we'll enjoy dry weather with partly to mostly sunny skies. Afternoon high temperatures Saturday and Sunday will only reach the lower 80s, and overnight lows will be great for open window weather, dipping down into the 50s and 60s. If this forecast trend holds for the upcoming weekend, this could be one of the nicest weather weekends of the summer across

Heat advisory continues in North Texas as "feels-like" temperatures could reach 107 degrees on Friday
Another heat advisory and First Alert Weather Day are in effect on Friday due to dangerous heat lingering around North Texas. Small storm chances are on the way over the weekend. The heat advisory issued by the National Weather Service is in effect until 9 p.m. for most of North Texas. Just like Thursday, the culprit isn't the actual temperature but the heat index. Some areas will again reach or surpass a "feels-like" temperature of 105 degrees. Drink plenty of water, take breaks in the shade or in the AC and don't leave anyone in the car. DFW avoided a 100-degree day yesterday by all of two degrees. The drier air Friday afternoon might be the difference in hitting 100 degrees for the first time this summer. Higher humidity on Saturday, along with clouds, will keep highs in the mid-90s. By Saturday, there is the first chance of rain since mid-July. Coverage won't be great, but afternoon storms will queue up across North Texas. Severe weather isn't expected, but it'll be slow-moving, so heavy rain is possible in isolated areas. Rain chances taper back on Sunday afternoon before North Texas gets right back to hot and dry weather next week.
