Southern California could feel more like Florida the rest of this week, forecasters said, as moisture from a tropical storm in the eastern Pacific shifts north, boosting humidity and the chance for unstable weather in the region. "The next several days, we're getting the remnants of the energy from Tropical Storm Mario," said Rich Thompson, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Oxnard. "It's giving us this threat of thunderstorms." Those storms could create fires from dry-lightning strikes or flash floods and debris flows depending on how strong they turn out to be, the National Weather Service warned.

Tuesday is expected to be the hottest day of the week, with warmer valley areas in L.A. County expected to reach the triple digits and temperatures in inland coastal areas ranging from the 80s to lower 90s, according to the National Weather Service. The hot weather will continue on Wednesday and coincide with a risk of thunderstorms that will persist through midday Friday.

there is potential for organisation of convection, possibly some thunderstorm developing, forming into linear multi-cell convective clusters or even one or two transitory supercell structures capable of producing locally damaging wind gusts and one or two brief isolated tornadoes. Intense rainfall leading to flash-flooding will also be a hazard with this activity. Strong and gusty winds are likely to cause some disruption to travel and interruptions to power.

In Yosemite National Park, hikers were surprisingly soaked this weekend as summer storms blew through the area. Meanwhile, thunderstorms across California's mountains launched rapid-fire lightning strikes that sparked several forest fires. And as Burning Man kicked off in Nevada's desert northwest, a major dust storm forced traffic to a halt as attendees tried to avoid the desert's wrath. The impetus for this widespread wild weather was a late-arriving monsoonal pattern, fueled by the region's lingering heat that pulled atmospheric moisture north - and, with it,

Images shared across social media showed a huge horizontal wall stretching from the horizon towards the shore, accompanied by a violent gust of wind when it reached land.

In the forecast for Shasta, Siskiyou, and Trinity counties, both wet and dry thunderstorms are likely, increasing wildfire risk and prompting red flag warnings.

High temperatures will increase into the upper 80s and lower 90s, with feels-like temperatures potentially peaking around 100 degrees. Hydration is crucial for outdoor activities.

A Ryanair aircraft struggled through turbulence during a storm in southern Germany, forcing an emergency landing and resulting in injuries among nine passengers.

"It is kind of a dry lightning setup where you get the lightning that could start a fire but not the rain that would put it out," he said.

Flash floods may impact northern Miami-Dade until Monday evening, with heavy thunderstorms causing 2 to 3 inches of rain in affected areas.
