<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!<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot 2026-07-25 045544-1784976956365.jpg"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/1-1784931783129.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot 2026-07-25 045614-1784976992114.jpg"><br></p><h1>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.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot 2026-07-25 045651-1784977020205.jpg"></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>

Another batch of storms will keep the flooding threat on the table as we move into this weekend. Make sure you have a plan of action if high water becomes an issue in your neighborhood.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot 2026-07-25 053112-1784979080498.jpg"></p><p>All the rain that has fallen in the last month will keep the flood risk ongoing for many spots in the Mid-Atlantic.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot 2026-07-25 052948-1784978995612.jpg"></p><h1>Timing</h1><p>Showers and storms will continue Saturday across the Southeast. Flash flooding and even a few isolated strong storms will be possible this weekend. As the front drops south, more concentrated storm chances will move into the Sunshine State.

<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>Are you over the summer heat yet? Well, more impactful heat is in the forecast over the next seven days in parts of the Southwest, Northern and Southern Plains. The Weather Prediction Center's 6-10 Temperature Outlook favors most of the country in seeing above average temperatures except for the Northeast.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/1-1784929951957.png"></p><h1>Southwest</h1><p>Extreme Heat Warnings and Advisories have been issued for parts of the Desert Southwest into Monday. Friday morning, record lows fell across parts of Arizona where the mercury only dropped into the upper 90s! The extreme afternoon highs and well-above-average lows are the reason Extreme Heat Warnings are issued. People should seek cooling centers or a building with adequate A/C during the hottest part of the day. 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.

<p>We're wrapping up the final weekend of winter and it certainly has been feeling and looking like it across the Great Lakes region. The Great Lakes have little to no ice coverage, which means that lake-effect snow has been a headline this weekend, and will continue to occur through Monday morning. The remainder of our lake effect alerts is within the Tug Hill Plateau area (BELOW). Lake Ontario's ice coverage is currently less than 2 percent so cold air running over warmer waters helps to enhance snowfall.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/03/03-19_rne_alerts-1679252016525.JPG"></p><p>Buffalo is one of the few cities in the Northeast with above-average snowfall this season thanks to tremendous snow events in November and December. Those events produced nearly an entire season's worth of snowfall in just a week! Cleveland and Erie are much behind what is normally seen by this time of year.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/03/21-1679176776138.jpg"></p><p>Since Saturday night, some of our top snowfall totals have been around 5-10 inches in localized spots. </p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/03/03-19_totals-1679251852857.JPG"></p><p> As our low-pressure system slowly pivots across the Northeast, expect lake effect snow bands to slowly taper this evening. Only a couple more inches of snowfall can be expected for the Interstate 81 and 90 corridors.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/03/03-19_rne_hrrr snow-1679251985330.JPG"></p><p>For more on what's next for the northeast be sure to watch your regional forecast :10 minutes past the hour!</p>
