Another beautiful, hot, humid day in South Florida as temperatures soar
While the National Weather Service has not issued a heat advisory, many people across the region will experience "feels-like" temperatures of 100-105 degrees.
Cities across Broward County will experience the triple-digit "feels-like" temperatures from Weston to Hallandale Beach and up to Deerfield Beach.
Miami-Dade County cities and neighborhoods will experience similar conditions starting around 11 a.m. and lasting through the early evening.
A high-pressure center located over Central Florida is trapping the heat and blocking the formation of rain storms which would temporarily help cool down the area.
Despite the lack of an official heat advisory, it is important to practice the regular safety precautions: stay hydrated, reduce outdoor afternoon activities, wear light-color clothing and stay in the air conditioning as long as possible.
The scorching heat remains with us as we start the work week. By mid-week the high pressure move to the west and the rains return by Wednesday.

Why ‘corn sweat' will make this week's heat wave even worse
Another crushing heat wave is hitting the United States this week. The so-called 'dog days of summer' are in full swing for much of the eastern two-thirds of the U.S., as a heat dome over the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys gradually builds over the eastern U.S. later in the week, according to the Weather Prediction Center (WPC) at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). One unlikely culprit for the high humidity, especially in the Midwest, is 'corn sweat.' What is corn sweat? 'Corn sweat' is the term used to explain how corn, like other plants, excretes water vapor through its leaves via a process called evapotranspiration, which increases humidity in regions where corn is grown during the summer; namely, the Corn Belt, which stretches from North and South Dakota east to Ohio, including Missouri, Minnesota, Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, according to The Washington Post. Where is the heat wave? Nearly 60 million Americans are under heat-related warnings, watches, and advisories this week with oppressive heat forecast across the Central Plains, Midwest, and deep South, according to the WPC. What is the weather forecast this week? Heat indices from the Central Plains to the Southeast are predicted to range between 100 and 110 degrees each day, with localized readings potentially reaching 115 degrees. The National Weather Service's HeatRisk, which ranks heat-related risks on a map, forecasts its most extreme heat level for the Deep South and lower Mississippi Valley on Tuesday, with a major heat risk across the Midwest through Wednesday. Extreme heat warnings are also in place for parts of the Central Plains and lower to mid-Mississippi Valley, along with extreme heat watches across the Midwest, including the majority of the Chicago area. Meanwhile, heat advisories encompass much of the Deep South and northern Florida. That ' dangerous, long lasting heat ' is expected to persist the longest over the mid-Mississippi Valley and mid-South regions from Tuesday through Thursday, when the heat is expected to be the most intense and widespread, with heat waves that last multiple days in a row with little to no relief. Meanwhile, temperatures into the upper 90s will be high enough to set some local daily records in the Southeast for late July. As if that weren't enough, thunderstorms could also pose a flash flood threat in portions of the Southwest, Midwest, and Southeast, with severe storms likely in the Northern Plains and Midwest. The Northeast, which should have comfortable temperatures in the 80s in the first half of the week, is forecast to hit 97 to 98 degrees on Friday, in a number of cities including Boston and New York.

Temperatures to reach triple digits in North Texas later this week, with small rain chances this weekend
The first heatwave of the season is in full force across North Texas as triple-digit highs finally arrive this summer. The hottest day of the year so far was reached for the second time yesterday, at 97 degrees. That's the same high forecast for Tuesday. July has been rather reasonable so far. North Texas hasn't hit 98 degrees yet and it is the third week of July. The last time that happened was 18 years ago. There also hasn't been any rain since mid-month and the soils are starting to dry out. Plus, high pressure is going to be parked right over North Texas going into the weekend. These two factors are enough to get North Texas to the triple digits for Thursday and Friday. Heat advisories are possible, so please stay heat aware during outdoor activities – drink plenty of water, have shade and take breaks from the heat. There is a very tiny chance of rain late Saturday and Sunday from a system moving in from the Gulf. More likely, North Texas will just get some clouds, which will knock temperatures down a little. It'll also increase the humidity, however, making for dangerous heat index levels.

One more comfortable day expected across Maryland
A stretch of beautiful weather will slowly give way to rising heat and humidity this week, setting the stage for potentially stormy conditions by the weekend. After a pleasant Tuesday evening with temperatures in the 80s falling into the 70s under clear skies and low humidity, conditions will remain comfortable overnight. Lows will dip into the 60s to near 70, with clear skies and continued dry air. Wednesday will be sunny with slightly higher humidity, as highs climb into the upper 80s. More moisture will build in Wednesday night, with overnight lows holding near 70 degrees. By Thursday, summer heat makes a full return. Expect plenty of sunshine, higher humidity, and highs around 90 degrees. The heat intensifies Friday, with afternoon temperatures in the low 90s and heat index values exceeding 100. Friday has been designated a First Alert Weather Day due to the oppressive heat and humidity. An isolated or widely scattered late-day storm is also possible. Heading into the weekend, a shift in the upper-level weather pattern could bring more active conditions. As a ridge of high pressure retreats westward, the Mid-Atlantic will find itself under a northwest flow aloft. This setup allows upper-level disturbances to interact with hot and humid surface conditions, triggering showers and thunderstorms each day. Saturday and Sunday could both warrant Alert Day status, with the potential for strong storms and torrential downpours capable of producing flash flooding. Highs will remain near 90 both days, with overnight lows in the mid to upper 70s. Conditions are expected to dry out somewhat by Monday, offering a brief reprieve before another cold front brings renewed chances for storms by the middle of next week.
