Heatwave Continues with Tropical Storms on the Horizon

Sunday marked the hottest day of the year so far, with record-breaking temperatures across many areas. A tropical wave moving across the Gulf has a 60% chance of development, potentially becoming Tropical Storm GERT. While it will bring much-needed rainfall to parts of south Texas, areas further north will only experience scattered rain bands. The Atlantic Basin is also seeing increased tropical activity, with two named storms, Emily and Franklin, and several other areas with potential for development. Tropical Storm Hilary is bringing heavy rainfall to Southern California and Nevada. The 10-day forecast predicts continued triple-digit heat before a change in weather pattern brings widespread rain and lower temperatures next week.

"Tropical Storm Emily Emerges in the Atlantic Ocean"

Tropical Storm Emily has formed in the Atlantic Ocean, becoming the fifth named storm of the 2023 Atlantic Hurricane season. It is one of five disturbances being monitored by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) in the Atlantic or Gulf of Mexico, but is expected to be short-lived with no impact on Florida. Emily's center is located about 1000 miles west-northwest of the Cabo Verde Islands, moving west-northwest at 10 mph. The storm has maximum sustained winds of at least 50 mph, but is forecasted to weaken and become a post-tropical remnant low by Tuesday. No watches or warnings have been issued, and the NHC is also monitoring other systems in the Atlantic.
