First Alert Weather: Higher humidity returning along with rain eventually increasing

Higher humidity has moved back in, along with hazy skies, thanks to the jet stream drawing smoke from Canadian wildfires south all the way to the Southeast U.S.
The smoke will gradually thin and dissipate over the next day or two.

Here's what you can expect for the rest of the week:
Tuesday will be very warm and humid with isolated afternoon showers.
Rainfall coverage will begin to increase Tuesday night and even more so for Wednesday and Thursday, when everyone will get at least some rain. The heaviest amounts will be roughly from Interstate 95 to the beaches.
Highs will be near 90 on Tuesday, then the 80s on Wednesday and Thursday.
We'll go back to a more 'normal' early summer weather pattern Friday into the weekend – hot & humid with a few afternoon storms.
INTERACTIVE RADAR: Keep track of the rain as it moves through your neighborhood
TROPICS: (1) An area of weak low pressure will develop by midweek northeast of Jacksonville & near the coast of the Carolinas. While this area has been highlighted in yellow by the NHC for a low risk of development, there will be few, if any, direct impacts to Jacksonville/Northeast Florida/Southeast Georgia. Tropical moisture will bring showers and storms to the local area with or without any low pressure actually developing.
(2) Keeping an eye on the Western Caribbean and Southern Gulf for possible longer-range tropical development – not likely til at least sometime next week, if at all. Always more at 'Talking the Tropics With Mike.'

Damaging, disruptive storms to target NYC, Philly and DC

Storm clouds move in behind One World Trade Center and the Manhattan skyline in New York City on Thursday. Photo by John Angelillo/UPI | License Photo The same setup that brought close to 300 wind damage incidents and a dozen reports of tornadoes in the Midwest on Wednesday will focus on the Atlantic Seaboard from Quebec to the Carolinas into Thursday night, AccuWeather meteorologists warn. High humidity levels combined with a ripple in the jet stream will unleash one or more lines of thunderstorms that will progress from the Appalachians and Piedmont areas toward the Atlantic coast from Thursday afternoon to Thursday night. "As the storms approach the airports at the major metro areas from New York City to Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., airline delays and ground stops will increase dramatically. Some flights may even be cancelled," AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Jonathan Porter stated. "Such delays and cancellations at these major airports have a tendency to spread quickly elsewhere in the United States air system because planes and crews are not where they need to be based on the existing schedule, resulting in cascading delays and cancellations." Motorists should be prepared for high water and sudden poor visibility as the storms approach. Roads that tend to flood during downpours should be avoided. Powerful wind gusts in many of the storms will average 60-70 mph. Due to the saturated ground in some areas, strong wind gusts during storms can easily push over trees or break off rotting limbs, leading to power outages. There will be an elevated risk of tornadoes in an area from upstate New York and northwestern New England to parts of central and eastern Quebec. This includes the major Canadian metro areas of Quebec City and Montreal, as well as Burlington, Vermont Albany, New York Pittsfield, Massachusetts and Lebanon, New Hampshire in the northeastern United States. A small number of the storms can also bring pea- to marble-sized hail, which, when combined with strong winds and torrential downpours, can damage crops in fields, plants in backyard gardens and other vegetation. As the storms creep along, flash flooding along small streams and urban areas can occur. Two or three storms may blast some locations into Thursday evening. Storms in the metro areas of Richmond and Norfolk, Virginia, as well as Charlotte and Raleigh, North Carolina, may be somewhat more widely separated but can still be severe in some neighborhoods and lead to damage and travel disruptions into Thursday evening. Some thunderstorms and severe weather are also anticipated from South Carolina to Georgia, Florida and Alabama. However, a few storms in these areas can still pack a punch at the local level with brief wind gusts, torrential rain and a sudden cluster of lightning strikes. As a massive dome of heat builds from this weekend to next week, rounds of severe thunderstorms will erupt on the northern edge from the Midwest to parts of the Northeast.

Hurricane Erick makes landfall in Mexico

MEXICO CITY - Hurricane Erick, which has been classified as dangerous, has reached Mexico. The storm made landfall in the southwestern state of Oaxaca on Thursday with wind speeds reaching about 127 mph, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami. The storm brought heavy rain and strong winds, causing at least nine landslides on country roads, said the coordinator of Mexico's National Civil Protection Agency, Laura Velázquez. Erick also reportedly caused trees and power poles to topple. There were power outages and flooding, including in a hospital. According to preliminary official reports, there have been no fatalities so far in the affected states of Guerrero and Oaxaca. Shortly before making landfall, Erick weakened from the second-highest hurricane Category 4 to Category 3. The NHC had previously stated that it was an "extremely dangerous" storm. President Claudia Sheinbaum urged continued caution in her daily press conference. Although the storm is expected to weaken further over land, she said the danger, especially from heavy rain, is not over. Authorities warned of devastating wind damage and life-threatening flooding. A high danger level is in effect for the coastal section between the resorts of Acapulco and Puerto Ángel. Erick is the second hurricane of this year's Pacific season, following Barbara. The hurricane season begins in the Pacific on May 15 and in the Atlantic on June 1. It officially lasts in both regions until Nov. 30. In October 2023, Otis, a category 5 storm, killed at least 52 people in Acapulco and caused significant damage. According to experts, increasing global warming raises the likelihood of severe storms. _____ Copyright (C) 2025, Tribune Content Agency, LLC. Portions copyrighted by the respective providers.
