AccuWeather's Bernie Rayno and Joe Lundberg look ahead to the next week of weather across the United States with a heat wave to scorch the Plains and mid-Atlantic states and rain for southern Texas.
Transcript
00:00You know him as the crystal ball meteorologist Joe Lumberg and Joe before we get in the next week a much different pattern coming
00:07Let's take a look at what we were talking about this time last week. All right
00:12Three things really pop out of the first one to me is this one, Florida?
00:15You're gonna go from hot weather and dry and needing rain to all of a sudden
00:20You're gonna get a lot of it starting next week. There's gonna be a noticeable pattern change
00:23We'll show you how that's all gonna on unfold overall a lot less severe weather
00:28But we think overall a less active pattern next week because of how things is set up and the heat is going to be expanding
00:35In the West you're gonna see some more records. I think fall in some places over the next several days
00:41Florida getting inundated right now. There was a lot less severe weather to deal with this week
00:47And certainly the heat's been prevalent in the southwest and the Southern Rockies this week Joe
00:51They have all come to fruition as we laid out for you last
00:55Thursday and as we go forward to next week
00:57the biggest thing I think that's gonna take front and center stage is this one right here a heat wave that is gonna blister the
01:03Area from the Plains States all the way to the Mid-Atlantic
01:05We're talking about day after day after day of 90 degree heat
01:09Some places may be triple digit heat with humidity and no rain
01:14Speaking of rain, you're not gonna be as wet in Florida next week
01:17There will be some rain for South Texas
01:19The question is how much and that may be related to how things play out in the tropics
01:23Yeah, let's talk about the heat Joe. Why are we gonna see that heat?
01:28Well, I mean it's plain on the map that big upper-level high that this is the first time we've seen this pattern
01:35This year. Yeah, I mean the upper-level Ridge burning up to this point of time has been centered over Mexico
01:40That's why it's been hot and dry there for the spring in the early part of the summer season this week
01:44It's been working its way up into the Rockies. That's why you've seen the heat there
01:48But next week it centers itself here over the Ohio Valley in the Great Lakes and that's gonna pump this heat Ridge and bring the
01:54heat so st. Louis, Kansas City, Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburgh
01:59Nashville all the way to Washington DC in New York City, you're gonna be in the heat even Boston
02:03I think you're gonna have a couple of days some pretty gruesome heat very dry hot and no rain across this area
02:09however
02:10underneath this you've got an easterly flow and you're gonna have to keep an eye on the Bay of
02:14Campeche because it looks like something is gonna try to develop there and head for South, Texas or East Eastern, Mexico
02:19You know every time I see an upper high this time of the year you always look underneath the belly for tropical development
02:25We're already seeing showers and thunderstorms getting going across the Bay of
02:29Campeche or not in the Mexico and when you take a look at where we would see development Joe
02:35These are the areas that we're concerned about next week. Yeah in close development
02:39This is the area that we're keeping an eye on now that system may develop
02:42But it goes out to sea pretty quickly, but keep an eye on here and particularly
02:46This area the Bay of Campeche
02:48It looks like this moisture comes up from the south and southeast and then works its way northwestward
02:53I wouldn't be surprised if we have tropical at least a tropical depression if not a tropical storm there about a week from now
