Heatwave Expands, Florida Now at Risk

Hot and dry conditions are forecast across much of the United States this weekend, as high pressure systems drive significant temperature increases in regions like New Mexico, southern Wisconsin, and Florida. New Mexico will experience highs in the 90s to triple digits, with isolated storms in the mountains before monsoon moisture returns early next week, raising flash flood risks. Southern Wisconsin will see heat indices near or above 100°F, with potential for strong storms and heavy showers from Sunday night into Monday. Florida will face mostly sunny skies, with highs in the low to mid-90s and heat indices reaching up to 108°F, alongside minimal rain chances. Residents are urged to stay hydrated and take heat precautions. These conditions could impact outdoor events, including the MLS playoff race, as weather delays have already affected matches like Columbus vs. Orlando.
