How thunderstorms could disrupt the massive Army parade in D.C.

Washington Post12-06-2025
Huge crowds are anticipated Saturday in D.C. for events marking the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary — but the weather may not fully cooperate. A sluggish front drifting southward could spark showers and thunderstorms that threaten to disrupt the celebrations.
Planned events around the National Mall include a fitness competition at 9:30 a.m. Eastern time, a festival from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., a parade at 6:30 p.m. and a concert and fireworks display from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Colorado sees weekend cooldown before heat returns

If you don't like the heat, enjoy the temperatures this weekend. Highs for Colorado's Front Range will be in the upper 80s, right around our average temperature for this time of year. The sky is a bit smoky on Saturday morning, and that will stick around for most of the day. This afternoon, there is a chance for storms across the metro area and eastern plains. The mountains saw rain early Saturday, and that could continue for the day. We are watching the storms closely this afternoon, as a few could turn severe. The biggest threat is on the eastern plains. The "cooler" weather does not stick around. A ridge of high pressure brings our temperatures back into the upper 90s for the work week.

Heat advisory issued for Miami, Broward with possible showers. See timeline

A heat advisory is in effect for South Florida on Saturday as forecast "feels- like" temperatures will be 105 to 100 early afternoon. A few showers are possible mainly over the interior later this afternoon providing limited relief to the heat and humidity. The heat advisory will expire at 7 p.m. as temperatures cool slightly bringing heat index values down below 105 degrees. Showers and storms will increase by the end of the weekend and next week as a southeast breeze brings a little more moisture into the area. The increased storm chances will keep high temperatures down and provide some relief to the heat each afternoon. High temperatures will be slightly cooler as a result of the increased storms by the middle of next week. An aera of low pressure is being monitored off the coast of North Caroline for development over the next few days. Development or not it will be moving east northeast away from the coast stay over open water to our north. There is no other areas expected to develop over the next seven days.

Mild start to August. Temperatures to remain in lower 90s with possible showers this week

It has been a very mild start to August, which is one of the hottest months of the year. Typically, the average high temperature is 97 degrees, but over the next several days, highs will remain below average in the lower 90s. Saturday at DFW, the forecast high is 91 degrees with a chance of an isolated storm. Sunday, a couple of short waves will initiate rounds of storms across North Texas. The first round is expected in the morning, when storms will move across the northwestern counties and should fizzle out by the afternoon. The next wave is expected on Sunday night. This may impact the "Loud for Love" benefit concert. If planning on attending the event in person, be sure to bring an umbrella. More rain will be possible through late Monday morning. A ridge of high pressure will build starting this next work week, bringing back the sunshine and hot temperatures. Drier weather returns starting Monday afternoon. However, the heat isn't expected to reach the average high until Wednesday. Though temperatures will be at or a few degrees above average by mid-week, the heat index value could reach up 107 degrees.
