South Florida facing high heat, humidity this weekend
The NEXT Weather team is tracking a hot, humid day from Fort Lauderdale to Key West. Saharan dust is helping to dry-out the atmosphere and minimize pop-up showers across southeastern Florida.
Later Saturday afternoon, storms will build across the Everglades but will die out before making it to the metroplex. A few far western cities may see some small rain showers Saturday night.
As we Track the Tropics, there are no concerns in Florida, but the National Hurricane Center is alerting Texans about a low pressure system over the Yucatan Peninsula on Saturday.
The system will move into the southern Gulf and could develop into a Tropical Depression this weekend before moving ashore into Mexico. It's unlikely to become a named Tropical Storm.
The NEXT Weather 7 Day outlook does include the risk of storms on Monday and Tuesday.
The rest of the week we fall back into our regular summer pattern of afternoon storms and high humidity.
A sneak peak at the NEXT Weather 4th of July forecast shows a few afternoon showers and perfect weather for fireworks across the region.

When will it start to cool down in MS? Farmers' Almanac gives fall weather forecast
We're in the dog days of summer with temperatures topping 100 in some parts of Mississippi. Ready for colder weather? You've got a while to wait before temperatures really start to cool down into what the South calls fall. Be ready for more heat, followed by storms and rain as we edge closer to winter. The Farmers' Almanac calls for some wet weather and some storms later in the season, but early autumn looks dry and warm. According to the Farmer's Almanac, fall will start on Sept. 22 with the autumnal, or vernal, equinox. Meteorological autumn, however, uses Sept. 1 as the start of the season. Either way, we won't get a big break from the warmer temperatures until around October, when the daily high finally drops to around 77°F and the lows are around 53°F, per historic data from According to the "Flirty, Flurry Fall" forecast, the South can expect lingering warmth while northern states could get early cold fronts. The Southeast could see Labor Day weekend thunderstorms, and the Atlantic seaboard could face a hurricane threat in September. The Southeast should have nice weather in October, but a lot of the country could face storms in the middle of the month. The region is expected to have some rain in November, and the Thanksgiving forecast calls for most places to have clearer skies for the holiday. Every year, daylight saving starts on the second Sunday in March and runs through fall. The return to standard time, or "fall back," is set for Sunday, Nov. 2. "Spring forward" was on Sunday, March 9, 2025. After losing an hour of sleep early in the year, people get a later sunrise and sunset until autumn. President Donald Trump has weighed in on daylight saving several times, saying the U.S. should stop changing the clocks twice a year and seems to favor adopting the daylight saving shift permanently. There are currently two bills suggesting making the change to daylight saving permanent, meaning there would be no "fall back." Both Senate Bill 29 and House Resolution 139 are called the Sunshine Protection Act of 2025. A move to only use daylight saving time in 1974 failed after parents were worried about kids going to school before dawn and risking more vehicle accidents. What are Ember Days? Folklore, Old Farmer's Almanac say they could predict weather for the next season According to the Farmer's Almanac, the astronomical start dates for the seasons are: Spring: March 20 - vernal equinox. Summer: June 20 - summer solstice. Fall: Sept. 22 - autumnal equinox. Winter: Dec. 21 - winter solstice. The shortest day with the longest night will be on Sunday, Dec. 21, 2025, in Mississippi.

Hot but less humid Sunday in Philadelphia, tracking showers and storms. See the weather forecast.
A front sliding through the Philadelphia region Saturday night will bring lingering showers that taper off after midnight. While the front stalls near the Delmarva, skies will start to clear locally and with light winds, we could see some patchy fog or mist develop overnight — especially in spots that picked up rain. Temps drop into the low 60s north of the city and hover near 70 in the southern half of the area. CBS News Philadelphia Sunday looks pretty nice overall. North of Philly, expect mostly sunny skies and lower humidity with dew points dipping into the 60s — and even some 50s across the far north. Highs range from the upper 80s to low 90s, with the Poconos near 80. South of the city, clouds linger a bit more, and a few pop-up showers or storms are possible with the stalled boundary nearby, but nothing widespread. By Monday, a warm front starts lifting north, bringing back the humidity and a few scattered showers or storms — especially across southern and western zones. Highs near 90 are likely, and while it'll feel muggy, heat indices currently look to stay just shy of advisory criteria. More widespread showers and storms are expected Monday night as the front moves through. Tuesday is the day to watch closely. A strong cold front combined with increasing wind shear and instability could set the stage for some severe thunderstorms, especially in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Timing and storm evolution still need to be fine-tuned, but damaging wind potential will be on the table. Behind that, things calm down — Wednesday, Thursday and Friday look quieter and a bit more comfortable, although hot and seasonable, just in time for July Fourth celebrations. Here's your 7-day forecast: CBS News Philadelphia Sunday: Mostly sunny. High 90, Low 73. Monday: Few late storms. High 89, Low 72. Tuesday: Storms likely. High 89, Low 76. Wednesday: Sunny skies. High 89, Low 72. Thursday: Bright and sunny. High 89, Low 70. Friday: Mostly sunny. High 86, Low 68. Saturday: Partly cloudy. High 89, Low 67. NEXT Weather Radars Hourly Forecast
