Heat Relief Is On The Way

Summer is trying to hold on across the Upper Midwest as temperatures 10-30 degrees above average are possible.

This heat is expected to last through the weekend before a cold front moves through and will drop temperatures from the 80s to the 60s. Here’s the latest.

Two Rainmakers To Watch Near The Gulf

As thunderstorms and tropical activity pick up across the Atlantic, weak rainmakers with no chance of tropical development will still bring heavy rainfall to the Gulf Coast and Southeast U.S. The first rainmaker is located over southern Florida and the Bahamas - this area was formed off an old frontal boundary draped across the Southeast and will bring heavy rain to Florida. The second rainmaker being monitored by the National Hurricane Center is located off the coast of Louisiana and also has no chance of tropical development. However, it will bring heavy rainfall for portions of the Gulf Coast and Deep South.
