Daily Weather Update from FOX Weather: Southeast tropical trouble looms as Florida braces for flooding rain
Welcome to the Daily Weather Update from FOX Weather. It's Wednesday, July 2, 2025. Start your day with everything you need to know about today's weather. You can also get a quick briefing of national, regional and local weather whenever you like with the FOX Weather Update podcast. Millions of people in Florida and the Southeast are keeping a close eye on the weather forecast that could halt outdoor and beach plans across the region over the Fourth of July holiday weekend. In addition to the precipitation, the National Hurricane Center expects to be monitoring an area of disturbed weather for tropical development, which will become the main focus for forecasters through the weekend and into next week. Regardless of tropical development, Florida is expected to see additional flooding rain and thunderstorms through the foreseeable future. The first major surge of monsoonal moisture across southern Nevada on Tuesday brought widespread disruptions to the Las Vegas Valley, unleashing near-hurricane-force wind gusts that toppled trees, downed powerlines and contributed to a large fire that killed several animals. The National Weather Service office in Las Vegas issued the first Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Clark County at approximately 3:30 p.m. local time, alerting residents that developing storm cells had the potential to cause damage to roofs, trees and other structures due to strong winds. Although radar data showed limited rainfall, the damage reported across the region was linked to what meteorologists later confirmed were "virga bombs" or "dry microbursts." Flossie strengthened into a major hurricane (Category 3 or higher) on Tuesday, but forecasters say the powerful storm will begin to rapidly weaken on Wednesday as it continues to move away from southwestern Mexico. The National Hurricane Center said maximum sustained winds within Flossie have increased to 115 mph with higher gusts, and some additional strengthening is possible through Wednesday morning before steady to rapid weakening is set to begin later on in the day. One couple had the experience of a lifetime over the weekend, when they became engaged in front of a tornado in South Dakota. Stormchasers Bryce Shelton and Paige Berdomas were tracking tornadoes during a severe weather outbreak in the Mount Rushmore State, when they saw a beautiful twister in the distance. This was the moment when Shelton decided to finally pop the question.

Hurricane Flossie forms in Eastern Pacific as Mexico faces threats of flooding rain, mudslides
Hurricane Flossie formed off the southwestern coast of Mexico late Monday night, and local officials are asking residents to prepare for possible flooding and life-threatening mudslides as the storm continues on its journey across the Eastern Pacific Ocean. Flossie became the sixth named storm of the 2025 Eastern Pacific hurricane season on Sunday when it gained strength and became a tropical storm – one step up from a tropical depression. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) said maximum sustained winds within Flossie have increased to 90 mph, and steady to rapid strengthening is expected over the next day or so before the hurricane starts to weaken late Wednesday. The NHC said that Flossie is currently located about 155 miles south-southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico, and is moving off to the west-northwest at 10 mph. The government of Mexico issued Tropical Storm Warnings from Punta San Telmo to Playa Perula, and Tropical Storm Watches east of Punta San Telmo to Zihuatanejo and north of Playa Perula to Cabo Corrientes. 4 Flossie became the sixth named storm of the 2025 Eastern Pacific hurricane season on Sunday.

Weekend Weather Update: Invest 91L in Atlantic on track for further development
Welcome to the Daily Weather Update from FOX Weather. It's June 28, 2025. Start your day with everything you need to know about today's weather. You can also get a quick briefing of national, regional and local weather whenever you like with the FOX Weather Update podcast. Odds are increasing that an area of showers and thunderstorms over Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula could briefly develop into a tropical depression later this weekend as it enters the southern Gulf of America before it crashes back into Mexico's East Coast. The National Hurricane Center has so far designated the broad area of low pressure over the southwestern Yucatan Peninsula as Invest 91L. Baseball-sized hail is among the dangerous threats posed by severe thunderstorms expected across parts of the Upper Midwest Saturday. A low pressure system will develop across the northern Rockies and High Plains on Saturday, pulling in moisture from the south into the Dakotas, making the atmosphere quite humid. With the Fourth of July fast approaching, a record-breaking 72.2 million Americans are preparing to travel for the holiday, according to AAA. However, long-range forecasts indicate that a cold front may bring widespread storms to the northern Plains and Southeastern US on the Fourth, and there is even an outside potential for a home-grown tropical system to develop close to the Southeast coast during the holiday weekend, according to the FOX Forecast Center. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is continuing to monitor the development of an area of low pressure in the Eastern Pacific that's expected to become at least a tropical depression this weekend, on its way to possibly eventually becoming Tropical Storm Flossie.

Unprecedented view of our neighboring Andromeda Galaxy revealed
A new composite image of the Andromeda Galaxy is offering an unprecedented view of our closest spiral galactic neighbor. Composed by NASA and international space partners, the image combines data from more than a dozen telescopes and ground-based observatories. Advertisement Located about 2.5 million light-years from Earth, Andromeda, which is also known as Messier 31m has been a focus of the space community for more than a century, with early observations dating back to at least 1923 by astronomer Edwin Hubble. A key focus of ongoing studies has been the galaxy's evolution and structure, which shares many similar features with our own Milky Way. The new imagery weaves together data from X-rays captured by NASA's Chandra telescope, the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton spacecraft and several other missions to create a unique view of the galaxy's features. 'Each type of light reveals new information about this close galactic relative to the Milky Way. For example, Chandra's X-rays reveal the high-energy radiation around the supermassive black hole at the center of M31 as well as many other smaller compact and dense objects strewn across the galaxy,' NASA stated. Advertisement 3 The Andromeda galaxy is located about 2.5 million light-years from Earth. FOX Weather 3 On a clear night, some stars of the galaxy can be seen from Earth. FOX Weather Unlike the Milky Way, which is difficult to observe from within due to dust, gas and Earth's position inside it, Andromeda can be studied from a great distance, offering astronomers a more complete and unobstructed view. Despite the insights revealed by this image, many mysteries remain about the spiral galaxy, including the composition of invisible dark matter, how it interacts with other cosmic structures and how many stars and planets it truly contains. Advertisement Andromeda is believed to contain hundreds of billions of stars, leading scientists to theorize that it could also host trillions of planets. 3 A key focus of ongoing studies has been the galaxy's evolution and structure, which shares many similar features with our own Milky Way. FOX Weather Even with an army of advanced space technology available today, no telescope is powerful enough to overcome the vast distance and identify a single planet, or, for that matter, even a star, in detail within Andromeda. Advertisement NASA says its upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is among several missions that will help continue to shed light on galaxies like M31. Named after the agency's first chief astronomer, the high-tech observatory is expected to launch in 2027 and will feature a field of view 100 times larger than that of the Hubble Space Telescope.
