<h1>Atlantic Basin</h1><p>Bertha has dissipated after moving inland into Texas Thursday evening, with a messy second landfall as an elongated center of low pressure. Bertha first made landfall within the Biloxi Wildlife Management Area in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana, with winds of 45 mph on Wednesday, July 22. No further tropical development is expected over the next seven days.</p><h1>Pacific</h1><p>There are a few other areas we are monitoring in the Eastern Pacific. <strong>Hurricane Fausto </strong>continues to track west, along with Tropical Storm Genevieve that formed on Friday.</p><p>Now a hurricane, Fausto is expected to track westward and remain hurricane strength through the weekend. Dry air and increasing shear mean the storm is expected to weaken some through the weekend as it approaches the Hawaiian Islands. It's too early to determine if the storm will track over the islands or head north, but some impacts can be expected. Large swells and strong currents will impact the islands next week, but wind and rain impacts from the system itself cannot be ruled out. We will continue to keep you updated!</p><h1><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot 2026-07-25 112956-1785000620075.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot 2026-07-25 113048-1785000663380.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot 2026-07-25 113143-1785000722963.png">Genevieve</h1><p>Tropical Storm Genevieve formed on Friday south of Acapulco, Mexico. With plenty of warm waters ahead, Genevieve is expected to strengthen into a major hurricane by Sunday. Luckily, the storm will stay away from land. However, choppy waters and rough surf can be expected if visiting any of the Mexican cities along the Pacific coast.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot 2026-07-25 113233-1785000762848.png"></p>

<p>Conditions have been really dry out west. We've been tracking some major fires across the state of Oregon. With multiple fires burning in the same general region, they form complexes. We have two large ones we're tracking now with containment improvements.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot 2026-07-25 054501-1784979949541.jpg"></p><p>One of the biggest issues we'll track with these fires will be the smoke. Unfortunately, upper-level winds will send this moderate to even dense smoke across the Pacific Northwest that will impact air quality for the weekend.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot 2026-07-25 054608-1784979981275.jpg"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot 2026-03-29 061724-1784899203154.png"></p><p>This smoke is expected to lower the air quality considerably across the area through the weekend. Red Flag warnings will be in place the next few days, so be mindful of anything that could spark a new fire over the weekend.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot 2026-07-25 054639-1784980012697.jpg"></p><p>Stay tuned to the forecast here on WeatherNation at :50 past the hour for your full Western U.S. breakdown!</p>

<p>Extreme heat will be a big story this week across the middle of the country where high pressure is building. However, weak cold fronts are riding around the periphery of the ridge, creating storms that can tap into the heat and humidity. These storms are likely to bring severe weather impacts from the Midwest to the East Coast in the days ahead.</p><h1>Saturday</h1><p>After storms brought big hail, strong winds, and a tornado to Minnesota on Friday, another round of severe weather will be possible across the Upper Midwest Saturday (top of page). Destructive winds and hail will be possible with some of the storms that form.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot 2026-07-25 045657-1784978070382.png">Storms look to be most active in the early afternoon around the Great Lakes, while storms will build farther west later in the afternoon into the evening (for areas from Montana into the Dakotas).</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/2026-07-25 05-37-43-1784979527370.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><h1>Sunday</h1><p>The storm fuel on Sunday and Monday looks a lot better for the next round of severe storms. With temperatures in the 90s and 100s ahead of the next front, severe weather is looking likely.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/1-1784858014872.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot 2026-07-25 045721-1784978079046.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot 2026-07-25 051508-1784978114650.png">The current thinking of the forecast shows a couple of rounds of strong to severe thunderstorms. The thunderstorm threat will be highest in the afternoon and evening hours, however, storms could still be strong after the sun sets. The biggest threat will likely be damaging winds and heavy rain but we will keep an eye out on the tornado threat too.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/2026-07-25 05-38-20-1784979548137.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>

Friday morning, record lows fell across parts of Arizona where the mercury only dropped into the upper 90s!

The hot temperatures are expected to expand into the Northern Four Corners states of Utah and Colorado with highs approaching 100 degrees. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/1-1784846127694.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/1-1784930869376.png"></p><h1>Central U.S.</h1><p>As high pressure expands westward, the upper high also expands northward into the High Plains and Upper Midwest.
