Weather Forecast for Wednesday, August 16, 2023

Meteorologist Samantha with your latest chatter weather update. Ok. Today we've got a hot day on tap and we are tracking a couple of storms. Best chance for some strong to possibly severe storms. It will be in parts of the Great Lakes region. You see Wisconsin to Minnesota, that area of yellow is showing you where you could have some storms with gusty winds up to 60 MPH, perhaps some large hail and very heavy rainfall. We'll be keeping an eye on that for you through this. You see the heat just surging north lots of nineties on the map here. We have some triple digit heat again in Texas. Just can't get a break here. It's been so brutally hot even in Florida, temperatures in the nineties feeling more like 100 degrees with that high humidity and you could have some pop up storms during the heat of this afternoon. We see some of that wet weather along the coast and those storms firing up later on today through the northern Great Lakes region. By Thursday, Friday, some of that rain will start to track into the north east here and then in the Midwest we get a little bit of a break. We'll be watching Mexico and the coast there. You can see some tropical activity here coming up the coast with very heavy rain. Meanwhile, it's just hot and dry with sunshine from Texas all the way up through the Midwest. The northwest is looking pretty good, but eventually some clouds will be moving through early next week and the weather starts to get a little bit unsettled for you. So today in New York City, 82 degrees, it will be mostly sunny, beautiful day in Detroit, 80 with sunshine, there's the heat. 93 in New Orleans, 101 in Houston, 80 in Nashville today. A nice day for you and 94 in Orlando with those pop up afternoon storms. We've got that hot weather in Vegas again as well. 105. But from L A to San Francisco, nice weather for you. Sunshine, pleasant with temperatures topping out in the seventies.
