July 25 Weather Heat Advisory Friday And Increasing Risk For Strong To Severe Storms This Weekend

Friday, July 25, 2025

Morning Report

There is no way to sugarcoat this. Today will not feel good outside. Tropical humidity and temperatures surging into the upper 90s will combine to make it feel like 105°F to 110°F. A Heat Advisory is in place for most of the region.

There is a small chance for a few pop-up strong thunderstorms this evening.

The environment will turn more turbulent this weekend with strong thunderstorms possible both Saturday and Sunday.

Monday looks like a break, then the heat will linger next week.

There is an end in sight. The next round of severe storms may be Thursday, followed by a pattern change and cooler temperatures into August.

HEAT ADVISORY

Temps will jump quickly, and combined with tropical humidity, it will feel like 105°F to 110°F.

Morning Temperatures

Surface Weather

The focus will be on a line of storms across the Great Lakes and Midwest along a frontal boundary. This will ignite storms and push our way this evening.

With the excessive heat, some pop-up storms may be strong to severe.

NOAA Severe Storm Outlook

A higher chance for storms to turn severe in the northeast along I-95 through metro Philadelphia and New York.

RESTATING MY MESSAGE ABOUT DYSLEXIA

I am aware there are some spelling and grammar typos and occasional other glitches. I take responsibility for my mistakes and even the computer glitches I may miss. I have made a few public statements over the years, but if you are new here, you may have missed it: I have dyslexia and found out during my second year at Cornell University. It didn’t stop me from getting my meteorology degree and being the first to get the AMS CBM in the Baltimore/Washington region. One of my professors told me that I had made it that far without knowing and to not let it be a crutch going forward. That was Mark Wysocki, and he was absolutely correct! I do miss my mistakes in my own proofreading. The autocorrect spell check on my computer sometimes does an injustice to make it worse. I also can make mistakes in forecasting. No one is perfect at predicting the future. All of the maps and information are accurate. The ‘wordy’ stuff can get sticky.  There has been no editor who can check my work while writing and to have it ready to send out in a newsworthy timeline. Barbara Werner is a member of the web team that helps me maintain this site. She has taken it upon herself to edit typos when she is available. That could be AFTER you read this. I accept this and perhaps proves what you read is really from me… It’s part of my charm. #FITF
