South Florida Faces Hot Weather, Marginal Severe Storms

South Florida is experiencing a hot and humid period with temperatures reaching into the upper 80s and low 90s, accompanied by a marginal risk of isolated strong to severe storms mainly inland and near the lake in the afternoons. The sea breeze contributes to convective energy, leading to storm chances near the coasts starting mid-afternoon, with hazards including damaging winds, hail, and frequent lightning. This weather pattern is expected to continue through Memorial Day and into the week, with increasing storm chances particularly on Thursday and Friday, when rainfall totals could reach 2-3 inches in some areas. Similarly, other regions such as Jordan and Northern California are also facing elevated temperatures, with Jordan seeing temperatures 6-7 degrees Celsius above normal, and Northern California anticipating its first 100-degree day of the year earlier than usual. Overall, these areas are coping with significant heat and accompanying weather risks including storms and heavy rainfall in certain locations.
