Chance of showers Wednesday in Philadelphia, clearing up for July 4 weekend. Here's the weather forecast.
Once the front clears, Thursday will be hot and sunny with a high near 90. A secondary front could touch off a pop-up storm in the afternoon, but then we'll usher in slightly cooler and drier air into the region just in time for the holiday weekend. If we do get a few storms on Thursday, there is a chance that some could be strong to severe, as we are currently in a Level 1 risk area (marginal)
Friday looks fantastic for July Fourth with seasonable warmth and not much humidity. Great conditions for fireworks viewing!

Hurricane center ups odds system could develop near Florida
ORLANDO, Fla. – The National Hurricane Center on Tuesday increased the odds a low pressure system expected to form later this week near Florida could develop into the season's next tropical depression or storm. In its 2 p.m. Eastern time tropical outlook, the NHC said a frontal boundary coming down from the U.S. mainland is expected to stall and weaken off the U.S. coast late this week, which could then lead to a low pressure area forming in a wide swath that runs from Florida's Gulf coast off to the East Coast in the Atlantic. 'Some gradual tropical or subtropical development could occur thereafter as the low drifts and moves little,' forecasters said. 'Regardless of development, heavy rainfall is possible across portions of the southeast U.S., particularly across the west-central Florida coast.' The NHC gave it a 30% chance to develop in the next seven days, up from the 20% forecast given since the NHC began keeping tabs on the weather patterns on Sunday. If it were to develop into a named system, it could become Tropical Storm Chantal. Whether it develops or not, the forecast for Central Florida calls for high chances of precipitation beginning Thursday, according to the National Weather Service in Melbourne. 'Heavy rainfall will be the primary concern regardless of development, as repeated rounds of showers and lightning storms increase/compound concerns for flooding, especially locations that receive locally high rainfall amounts over multiple days,' forecasters said. The Weather Prediction Center has highlighted portions of east Central Florida as having a marginal risk of excessive rainfall each day. 'Gusty winds and occasional to frequent cloud to ground lightning will be possible with deeper convection,' forecasters said. The unsettled weather pattern is expected to remain through the weekend before returning to Florida's standard afternoon and evening thunderstorm activity early next week. This is the first potential tropical threat to Florida so far for the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1-Nov. 30. The 2024 season saw heavy activity in the Gulf, with hurricanes Debby, Helene and Milton all striking Florida. So far the season has produced two short-lived named storms — Tropical Storm Andrea that petered out in the middle of the Atlantic in less than a day and Tropical Storm Barry, which formed shortly before making landfall, and then falling apart in Mexico on Monday. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecasts 13 to 19 named storms this year, of which 6-10 will become hurricanes. Three to five of those would grow into major hurricanes of Category 3 strength or higher. --------------

Las Vegas ‘Virga Bomb' Winds Knock Out Power and Delay Flights
A series of dangerous storms toppled power lines across Las Vegas late Tuesday, leaving thousands in the dark and forcing flight cancellations as a cloud of dust left visibility near zero. Winds reached 70 miles to 100 miles per hour as the storms punched through the region, said Scott Kleebauer, a forecaster at the US Weather Prediction Center. The thunderstorms generated gusts called 'virga bombs,' which occur when rain evaporates before it reaches the ground, creating strong downdrafts of cooled air.

California Is Running Out of Safe Places to Build Homes Due to Fires, Rising Seas
California, gripped by a housing shortage that is forcing families from the state, wants to build 2.5 million homes. But it's running out of safe places to put them. Much of the land best suited for new housing — wind-swept, grassy hills surrounding the state's major cities — now faces an extreme threat of wildfire, brutally illustrated by the Los Angeles-area blazes in January that killed 30 people and destroyed more than 16,000 structures. Fires have also leveled entire towns in the Sierra Nevada foothills, often considered an affordable place to buy a home. With California's peak fire season on the way, the state's main firefighting agency recently updated its maps showing the places at risk, and the danger zone now encompasses an area the size of Georgia.
