The heat index will soar above 105\u00b0 at times. The difference today will be the development of more widespread showers and thunderstorms. The first storms will develop between 1-3 p.m. with the highest chance from 3 p.m.-7 p.m. Some could be severe with intense cloud-to-ground lightning, damaging wind gusts, and hail.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Additional hit or miss thunderstorms are likely this weekend. They could also be strong, fueled by the heat in the middle 90s. More heat advisories are likely well into next week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body__copyright\">Copyright 2026 by WPLG Local10.com &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" alt=\"Brandon Orr\" class=\"c-image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/https:\/\/author-service-images-prod-us-east-1.publishing.aws.arc.pub\/wplginc\/3a1748c1-7381-491f-b829-.jpeg\"  width=\"100\" height=\"100\"\/>Brandon Orr<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-author-bio__author-description\">Brandon Orr joined the Local 10 News team in 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Published:\u00a0July 17, 2026 at 9:44 AM lead-art-block.fullscreen-enterExpand After the hottest day of the year at 97\u00b0 yesterday, another&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":729,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[28,30,29],"class_list":["post-343433","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-florida","tag-florida","tag-florida-headlines","tag-florida-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/343433","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=343433"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/343433\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/729"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=343433"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=343433"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=343433"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
