CWG Live updates: Serious flooding possible in storms later today
Welcome to updated around-the-clock by Capital Weather Gang meteorologists. Happening now: Another muggy morning as the chance for showers and storms increases into the afternoon and evening, when a flood watch takes effect. The National Weather Service warns 'significant' flash flooding is possible. What's next? Something absolutely awesome: While lingering showers are possible Friday, humidity and temperatures start to fall. By the weekend, we enjoy partly to mostly sunny skies, low humidity and very comfortable temperatures. Today's daily digit — 3/10: Heavy storms and possible flooding later today could be quite disruptive even if more clouds mean it's not as hot. | 🤚 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): Prepare to say goodbye to both July and this recent mini heat wave as increasing clouds cap highs in the upper 80s to low 90s. It's still very humid with showers and storms possible any time, but most likely in the afternoon and evening. Some storms could produce damaging wind gusts, but the potential for torrential rain and flooding is the greater concern. The heaviest storms could produce 1 to 2 inches of rain in just 30 minutes. Winds from the south are generally light, but gustier around storms. Confidence: Medium Tonight: Heavy evening storms are possible, while some scattered showers could linger overnight under mostly cloudy skies. Lows settle in the upper 60s and low 70s. Mostly light winds shift to come from the north late at night. Confidence: Medium Tomorrow (Friday): The cool front is not in a super hurry to sweep through, so it continues on the cloudy side with scattered showers around, especially in the morning. Highs in the mid- to upper 70s make this the coolest day since late June! Light winds from the north at 10 to 15 mph slowly draw in less humid air. Confidence: Medium Tomorrow night: Partly cloudy, cooler and more comfortable with lows by dawn in the upper 50s (!) to mid-60s. Confidence: Medium A look ahead The weekend into Monday fares fantastically with mostly sunny skies, highs in the low to mid-80s, and also — drum roll, please — low humidity (dew points in the 50s). Saturday and Sunday nights should feature mostly clear skies with lows in the upper 50s in our cooler areas and 60s elsewhere. Confidence: Medium-High The rest of next week starts to slowly reheat with highs in the upper 80s to near 90, while humidity builds back to more typical early-August levels. Thunderstorm chances also return Wednesday onward. Jason Samenow contributed to this forecast.

Exact date Birmingham set to roast in 30C temperatures as weather maps turn red
Weather maps have revealed the exact date that 30C heat could return to the city. The temperature has gotten a little cooler in recent days after the arrival of three heatwaves this summer. While the West Midlands has not been forecast for another heatwave, the mercury is set to rise in a couple of weeks. READ MORE: Met Office thunderstorm warning issued for 17 counties in England Get breaking news on BirminghamLive WhatsApp, click the link to join Come Thursday, August 7, temperatures could reach 30C in Birmingham. Weather maps from WX Charts have turned red that day, with 30C heat forecast for large parts of England. In its long-range forecast from August 4 to 13, the Met Office said: "Early next week there is the potential for an unseasonably deep area of low pressure to affect the UK, which would bring widely windy and wet weather, especially for the west or northwest of the UK. "The forecast around this is rather uncertain, however, and it is also possible that this will turn into a less windy but still wet spell further south. "Following this, a continuation of the broadly changeable pattern is expected, with spells of rain or showers, some drier, brighter interludes and temperatures mainly near average. 20 counties in England set to sizzle in heatwave with temperatures reaching 31C Met Office thunderstorm warning issued for 17 counties in England "As we move towards mid-month, there is an increased chance of high pressure becoming more dominant, leading to drier, warmer and more settled conditions becoming more widespread."

Heat break or rain delays? Pattern shakeup for many Canadians on long weekend
The August holiday weekend is nearly here, and will give folks an opportunity to relax and travel before the summer slowly winds down. There has been no shortage of stormy and hot weather across the country recently, with many bouts of severe weather while other locales have sizzled in the summer heat. DON'T MISS: So, what can we expect for the August long weekend this year? Read below to find the detailed forecast breakdown for regions and provinces in Western and Eastern Canada. Heat break in the East, making for pleasant outdoor plans While Eastern Canada has been enduring stifling heat and humidity this month, that is about to change this week, just in time for the long weekend. We're expecting fresher summer temperatures this weekend, with values coming in near to slightly below seasonal in the mid-20s. Sleep will also be easier, with overnight lows in the teens to 20s. A major contrast to the uncomfortable humidity felt during the last week of July. A cold front will move through the region and break the humidity streak by Friday. A ridge of high pressure in place will bring gorgeous weather and low chances for widespread rain and/or thunderstorms for Ontario, Quebec and most of Atlantic Canada. The forecast will be ideal for cottage and summer activities, but poor for the ongoing drought conditions. Northwesterly winds will be cooler, but will lead to hazy, smoky skies from wildfire smoke pushing in from the ongoing blazes in Saskatchewan and northwestern Ontario. Folks can expect red sunrises and sunsets, and poor air quality at times Heat to start in parts of the West, with a risk of storms Western Canada will get off to a hot start to the long weekend, but will need to brace for a few bumps throughout. A notably warm Friday is anticipated across northern and eastern B.C., Northwest Territories and the Prairies, with temperatures potentially reaching the 30s for some. However, the heat is expected to be short-lived. Wet weather is forecast to affect the Rockies, bringing back rainfall to much of Alberta and the B.C. Interior from Friday through Sunday. The rain may keep many of these regions in the low- to mid-20s this weekend. So, folks should plan for off and on wet weather interruptions. In contrast, the eastern Prairies, including parts of Saskatchewan and Manitoba, will start off dry, with temperatures ranging from the mid- to high-20s. However, the chances of precipitation are set to increase late Sunday into Monday. Additionally, while pop-up thunderstorms may occur along B.C.'s Sunshine Coast, the overall trend suggests a drier pattern with seasonal temperatures in the low 20s. Stay tuned to The Weather Network for the latest forecast updates for the upcoming August long weekend.
