CWG Live updates: Seasonably warm and dry through the holiday weekend

Welcome to updated around-the-clock by Capital Weather Gang meteorologists. Happening now: A gentle decline in humidity through the sunny morning makes temperatures in the 70s to low 80s pleasant enough. A few clouds pop up in the afternoon, but rain chances are almost nil with highs in the mid-80s to lower 90s. What's next? Lots of sun and seasonably warm readings make for a bang-up holiday weekend. A cool front approaches from the north and a tropical moisture surge arrives from the south by late Monday and Tuesday to bring our next storm chances. Today's daily digit — 8/10: The humidity is relatively benign for the heart of summer, and we finally get a day with minimal shower threats. | 🤚 Your call? The digit is a somewhat subjective rating of the day's weather, on a 0-to-10 scale. Forecast in detail Today (Thursday): Sunshine is back in abundance while lower humidity should make highs in the mid-80s to low 90s tolerable for most. Breezes are minimal, but a few pop-up clouds offer occasional shade in the afternoon. Confidence: High Tonight: The evening is nearly calm, with readings slipping into the 70s around sunset. Overnight lows range through the 60s. Confidence: High Tomorrow (the Fourth): If anything, the humidity should be slightly lower (dew points in the low to mid-60s) than Thursday. Even with plenty of sun, highs hold in the 80s, which is a win at this time of year! Breezes are light. Confidence: High Tomorrow night: Clear skies, calm winds and temperatures mainly in the 70s make for great fireworks viewing. Lows end up in the 60s once again. Confidence: High A look ahead Outdoor activities are in the clear Saturday and Sunday with gentle breezes, highs in the 80s and lows in the mid-60s to low 70s. There is a slight uptick in humidity Sunday, but it's not as muggy as it could be at this time of year. Confidence: Medium-High A cool front starts to slide south out of the Great Lakes on Monday just as a surge of tropical moisture approaches from the south. This should push humidity back up to uncomfortable levels with highs in the mid-80s to lower 90s. Clouds should gradually increase, and a few showers and storms could develop in the late afternoon and evening. Confidence: Medium The front and the tropical moisture should collide on Tuesday with the likelihood of showers and storms increasing significantly. Even when not dodging rains, highs in the mid-80s to low 90s and relatively high humidity will make you want to stay in.

Las Vegas hit with dust and thunderstorms caught on video

A streak of wild weather has recently swept through the Las Vegas area. Wind and dust storms blew through the Las Vegas Valley with gusts of over 60 mph on July 1, according to the National Weather Service. Video captured by resident Rick Carrillo shows the lack of visibility brought on by the storms. Nearly 2,000 people remain without power in Clark County – the home of the Strip in Paradise and the city of Las Vegas – as of 2:16 p.m. PT July 2, according to USA TODAY's Power Outage Tracker. The county has opened all cooling centers and has set up an emergency shelter at the South Hall of the convention center. The NWS issued severe thunderstorm warnings for parts of the valley Tuesday, even though there "little-to-no" lightning activity from the storms, later clarifying in a post on X that they chose that designation to communicate the nature of the danger posed by the storms. "Simply put, a Severe Thunderstorm Warning was the best tool in our tool box to use to message the sudden, isolated, very strong impacts to our Valley," the Las Vegas office wrote. Accuweather forecasts that the storms will linger around Las Vegas through Wednesday, July 3 with normal weather returning by the Fourth of July. The forecaster predicted a high of 93 degrees with showers and localized damaging wind gusts for July 2, a 10 degree drop from the city's average of 103 degrees. The forecast for June 3 sees temperatures pass the 100-degree mark with a high of 101 degrees but a 0% chance of precipitation.

Conducive severe storm setup on the Prairies will reappear, shift on Thursday

Alberta will a catch break from the heat, humidity on Thursday but could see more foul weather in the northern section of the province once again. Wednesday was quite stormy in the northern half of Alberta, prompting severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings, as well as watches. A tornado was reported by storm chasers, with a visible funnel cloud captured in photos and videos--between Lodgepole and Drayton Valley, Alta.--but there hasn't been an official confirmation, yet. Tornado forming west of Drayton Valley, Alberta #abstorm — Braydon Morisseau (@BraydonMoreSo) July 2, 2025 Drayton valley 5:20 pm #abstorm — krista d (@KDenreyer) July 2, 2025 MUST SEE: The risk of severe storms will reappear in northern Alberta Thursday while also moving into parts of Saskatchewan and Manitoba, bringing the chance of large hail, strong winds and heavy downpours. Be sure to monitor local weather alerts and incoming conditions throughout the day. The same cold front to trigger Wednesday's storms will makes its way east into Saskatchewan and Manitoba on Thursday, triggering another risk of thunderstorms; although there is still some uncertainty as to how strong the storms will be and their locations. Thunderstorm energy over the Prairies will still be high, though, so we will see a risk of severe storms developing along the Saskatchewan-Manitoba border in the late-afternoon to evening hours. There will be a widespread risk for severe thunderstorms across the northern Prairies. Forecasters will be watching the Brandon, Man., region for severe weather by the early evenin, potentially moving east into Winnipeg in the overnight period. We could once again see some large hail, between 3-5 cm in diameter, and damaging winds between 90-110 km/h with any severe storms that pop up. As the week wraps up, the Prairie provinces are anticipated to get some relief from both the heat and the storms, with cooler air coming in by Friday. In the meantime, residents are urged to remain weather-aware. Those in high-risk areas should pay attention to alerts, particularly in the late afternoon and evening. Conditions will be very hot and muggy in southern Saskatchewan and Manitoba, with Winnipeg feeling like 43 on Friday. Thumbnail courtesy of Iona, taken in Prince Albert, Sask.
