A series of atmospheric disturbances will bring a couple of chances for severe thunderstorms over the next two days. To be clear from the get-go, neither set up looks nearly as volatile as last week’s tornado and severe weather event, but there will still likely be some scattered intense storms to contend with.

Scattered severe thunderstorms Monday and Tuesday

Friday started somewhat gloomy with a mostly cloudy to overcast sky in many locations. Scattered showers and a few storms were in the mix too. Additional showers and storms form Friday afternoon, and linger into Friday evening. Rain coverage remains higher than a usual July day. Although, there some locations may remain rain-free. Isolated showers remain possible Friday night, with a partly to mostly cloudy sky, and lows in the low to mid 70s.

Elevated rain chances this weekend and throughout next week

Thunderstorms have been a frequent flyer in parts of the Southwest and just about non-existent in other portions of the region. However, that will soon change. Summertime conditions have allowed parts of the southwestern United States to experience locally drenching and gusty thunderstorm activity, but storms have been scarce from western Arizona and Nevada to California thus far. However, AccuWeather meteorologists believe that may change as the calendar turns to August.

Horoscope for Tuesday, July 23rd

A dry cold front that moved through overnight Monday into Tuesday morning will finally bring a break in the heat that we have been stuck under since July 5th. Daytime highs will drop by at least 5 to 10 degrees as we head from the upper 90s and triple digits to the 80s and 90s for most for the remainder of the week, with exceptions like the LC valley who will still see a few 100-degree days.

A break from the widespread triple digit heat arrives!

As the mercury rises, so does the stress on your car, especially in places like Las Vegas where triple-digit temperatures are the norm during the summer. A local driver, Frieda Vallejos, shared with KLAS-TV how living in Vegas for over 20 years has helped her body adapt to the heat, but unfortunately, the same can't be said for her car. She recently experienced her center console knob melting off—yikes!

Meteorologist Joe Cioffi

The latest shot of dry air from Canada was a quick one and we will see the humidity levels slowly rise this weekend. However we are not going back to the extreme levels of last week. It will still be reasonable this weekend weatherwise. Clouds are streaming up from the southwest but not enough to get rid of the sun completely. Look for partly sunny skies today with most highs in the middle to upper 80s. Temperatures of course will be a little cooler at shore locations.

Here's another recipe for fudge that's very easy to make. You can double it, or quadruple it, for more servings. 4 tablespoons cocoa or cacao powder (I like 2 tablespoons of each)

Blazing heat with feels-like temperatures approaching 110° weren’t quite enough for mother nature, so she decided to throw in the chance for severe thunderstorms on Tuesday as well. A cold front will push through both Tuesday and Wednesday, with opportunities for intense thunderstorms each days. Already today (Monday), there have been damaging storms in Northeast PA, and this is only the start as the front gradually works south.

Mid-July is typically the hottest time of the year, but several regions in the United States will experience a brief respite from the heat in the coming days. The caveat? Thunderstorms with torrential rain will be the culprit for the cooler temperatures, forecasts show. Much of the South will remain unsettled through next week, with widespread summer thunderstorms developing each day along the Gulf Coast and into the mid-Atlantic, from Houston and New Orleans to Atlanta and Raleigh, There is the possibility of some flash flooding each day in these areas where the heaviest downpours develop.

Homemade chocolate fudge may be one of life's most nostalgic foods. For me, it brings to mind the "individually-wrapped in cellophane" fudge squares that a classmate's mom some times brought to my elementary school classroom to share with all of us for a Halloween or Christmas party. The flavor was about as appetizing as the sentence describing it. And, it was rock hard.
