MIAMI-Tropical Storm Harvey has made landfall over Belize and is weakening as it heads to northern Guatemala.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said Saturday that Harvey was centred about 72 kilometres south of Belize City, moving west-northwest at about 13 mph (21 kph). Maximum sustained winds were 50 mph (80 kph), down from 60 mph (97 kph) when it made landfall.
The storm is expected to bring as much as six inches (15 centimetres) of rain to parts of Honduras, Guatemala, Belize and Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. Forecasters say flash floods and mudslides are possible.
Environment Canada is warning people to that tornados could hit overnight Saturday tonight in parts of southwestern Ontario.
Areas that could be affected include Strathroy, Komoka, Western Middlesex County, Eastern Middlesex County, London, Watford, Pinery Park, Eastern Lambton County, Woodstock, Tilsonburg, Oxford County, Simcoe, Norfolk, Delhi, Rodney, Shedden, Western Elgin County, and Parkhill.
People in these areas are advised to seek shelter immediately and carefully monitor conditions.
Toronto has been sweltering for the past couple of weeks with no reprieve in sight, but the city has yet to issue an official heat alert.
George Matsumura, a spokesperson for Toronto Public Health, said there are a number of factors besides the heat to consider when deciding whether to issue a heat alert.
Those factors include wind speed, dew point, humidity and cloud cover, as well as the number of consecutive hot days.
Just because it’s 39C outside doesn’t mean an alert will be issued. If it’s 39C, there’s no wind, and there is a “humid, moist, tropical air mass,” though, it is likely that there will be an official alert.
“It’s not a simple thing,” he said.
Matsumura said the key factor in a heat alert is mortality. When it’s difficult to breathe outside due to heat and humidity, older people and small children, as well as others with health concerns like diabetes, can be in serious danger.
While there have been no official alerts this month, there hasn’t been much of a break from the heat so far this summer. Toronto has had 4 mm of rain this month, and July generally gets about 74 mm on average, said Peter Kimbell with Environment Canada.
“It’s been almost two and a half weeks now with very little rain, so the question becomes ‘How long can we go with very little rain?’”
He said there might be a chance of some rain Sunday or Monday, but can’t say so for sure.
This hot dry weather makes a lot of people grumble about heat waves. The city’s term for heat waves is “extreme heat alert,” of which there have been none so far this year. There were 11 last year, compared with only two in 2009.
“We don’t have a very well-defined criteria for a heat wave,” Kimbell said.
“There are varying definitions. The best I can say is it’s going to be sunny and warm the next few days with a good bout of heat and uncomfortable conditions this weekend. Before then we’ll have more pleasant weather where we can sleep at night — lows will be 15, 16, 17 degrees.”
Kimbell added that there is no real explanation for why heat waves happen, other than to say:
“Weather is inherently variable.”
Last year there were 11 extreme heat alerts, compared with only two in 2009.

Environment Canada investigators are in Hamilton today trying to determine if a tornado touched down in the city early this morning.
High winds took down trees and power lines in a swath from Lake Huron to the Lake Erie shore.
An alert was issued at 1:30 a.m. and lifted at 2:15 a.m. in Hamilton, as unconfirmed reports surfaced of two funnel clouds.
Nearly 8,000 Horizon Utilities customers lost service overnight as wind gusts of up to 90 km/h pounded the area. Crews are restoring hydro knocked out by falling trees and branches.
The Canadian lightning detection network identified an impressive 80,000 flashes of lightning over Southern Ontario with this storm.
Kenilworth Avenue underpass was flooded for about an hour, and Highway 6 north is slow going as crews remove debris from the roadway along the route to Cambridge.
A fast-moving violent thunderstorm which may have spawned a tornado has cut power to thousands of homes and businesses in southwestern and southern Ontario.
Environment Canada had issued a tornado warning for Hamilton at about 1:30 a.m., which prompted Emergency Management Ontario to issue a "red alert" for the area. People were advised to immediately move indoors and away from doors and windows.
There has been no confirmation of a tornado strike, but Environment Canada meteorologist Rosemary Tabory said two spotters reported "there was a possibility" of a tornado touching down.
"One was on the north side of Hamilton, the other was on Hamilton Mountain West," said Tabory.
She said Environment Canada crews would likely head out in the morning to check for any signs of a tornado.
Environment Canada said the line of severe thunderstorms moved through the region with wind gusts of up to 90 kilometres an hour.
The storm travelled from the Kinkardine area in the north through the Hamilton and Niagara region and Tabory says some damage is reported.
"We’ve had spotters report flooding and report some trees down."
Hydro One said the thunderstorms and strong winds left more than 23,700 customers without electricity.
They included more than 10,000 homes and businesses from Wiarton to Kincardine and east to Dundalk. Another 6,834 homes and business in the Guelph area were affected. Tabory said the fast-moving storm was almost all out of Ontario by about 3 a.m. and heading into the United States.
Environment Canada says the first Ontario tornado of the year has been confirmed in the Fergus area, about 20 kilometres north of Guelph.
The twister touched down during a series of powerful thunderstorms that swept through southern Ontario on April 27.
That was the day before much of the region was pounded by a wind storm.
Environment Canada says the tornado was rated 0 on the Fujita scale, with winds up to 110 kilometres per hour. Tornadoes are rated from 0 to 5, with 0 at the bottom of the scale.
The agency's Geoff Coulson says an eyewitness account helped confirm the tornado.
Ontario normally gets about 12 tornadoes during the summer severe weather season that runs from late April to early October.
This video was shot by a 12-year-old boy in North Carolina as a tornado came hurtling at his family's car last month.
WICHITA, Kan.—One video circulating in cyberspace, shot by a 12-year-old boy with his cellphone in the back seat of his vehicle, shows a tornado closing in on a family driving in North Carolina last month — right up until the tornado hits them.
Another shows a tornado closing in on a Walgreens in Wilson, N.C., shot by a man in the parking lot who seems oblivious to the danger he's in until the last second.
"Hang on — I love you," he tells his sister as the tornado bears down on him, as if finally realizing he may be moments from death.
The videos startled officials at the National Weather Service. In response, they've issued a fresh round of tornado safety tips to counter bad information — or simple ignorance — when it comes to safety from tornadoes.
People seem to be "just clueless" about what to do if a tornado threatens, said Dick Elder, meteorologist-in-charge of the NWS' Wichita branch.
"We are saddened and humbled by the number of people who have been killed and injured" in the tornado outbreaks in the Deep South last month, Elder said.
More than 300 tornadoes touched down last week in six states, killing at least 344 people.
"I am saddened and frustrated at the growing number of lost lives from the recent tornado outbreaks," Charlene Miller, assistant director of emergency management for Butler County, said in a statement. "As public servants, we can only go so far. There is a level of personal responsibility that each and everyone of us are accountable for."
Eleven of the tornadoes that touched down last week were rated EF-4 or EF-5 on the Enhanced Fujita Tornado Scale.
Tornadoes in those categories can be killers even if people take all the proper steps to protect themselves, weather officials said.
But far too often, they said, videos showed people doing absolutely the wrong thing as violent weather struck.
"You would look at that and go, 'My goodness, they're pretty stupid,' " Elder said.
More and more, he said, the desire to capture a dramatic storm on video seems to be trumping common sense and safety.
Yet others may simply have forgotten what to do.
That's why weather officials are relaying the safety information.
"It's always a good reminder to tell people where to go to save themselves," Elder said.
Elder said he is still troubled by the video of former Wichita television reporter Gregg Jarrett and his cameraman taking shelter from the weakened Andover tornado under a highway overpass on the Kansas Turnpike in 1991.
The clip recently surfaced on Fox News, where Jarrett works. In the piece, an "expert" on tornado safety says using an overpass for shelter is a good idea—even though weather officials have stated for years that an overpass can be a lethal place to be if a tornado approaches.
"I hate seeing that because then people will start thinking, 'Maybe that's what we should do,' " Elder said.
Three people were killed in May 1999 in Oklahoma when they took shelter under overpasses during a significant tornado outbreak.
The overpasses become wind tunnels and debris collectors as a tornado nears, authorities have said, making them particularly dangerous.

PLEASANT GROVE, Ala. — Dozens of tornadoes ripped through the South, flattening homes and businesses and killing at least 269 people in six states in the deadliest outbreak in nearly 40 years.
As day broke Thursday, people in hard-hit Alabama surveyed flattened, debris-strewn neighborhoods and told of pulling bodies from rubble after the storms passed Wednesday afternoon and evening.
"It happened so fast it was unbelievable," said Jerry Stewart, a 63-year-old retired firefighter who was picking through the remains of his son's wrecked home in Pleasant Grove, a suburb of Birmingham. "They said the storm was in Tuscaloosa and it would be here in 15 minutes. And before I knew it, it was here."
He and his wife, along with their daughter and two grandchildren, survived by hiding under their front porch. Friends down the street who did the same weren't so lucky — Stewart said he pulled out the bodies of two neighbors whose home was ripped off its foundation.
Alabama's state emergency management agency said it had confirmed 162 deaths, while there were 32 in Mississippi, 32 in Tennessee, 13 in Georgia, eight in Virginia and one in Kentucky.
President Barack Obama said he would travel to Alabama on Friday to view storm damage and meet with the governor and affected families.
The National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla., said it received 137 tornado reports into Wednesday night.
Some of the worst damage was in Tuscaloosa, a city of more than 83,000 that is home to the University of Alabama. Neighborhoods there were leveled by a massive tornado caught on video by a tower-mounted news camera that barreled through late Wednesday afternoon.
"When I looked back, I just saw trees and stuff coming by," said Mike Whitt, a resident at DCH Regional Medical Center who ran from the hospital's parking deck when the wind started swirling and he heard a roar.
On Thursday morning, he walked through the neighborhood next to the hospital, home to a mix of students and townspeople, looking at dozens of homes without roofs. Household items were scattered on the ground — a drum, running shoes, insulation, towels, and a shampoo bottle. Streets were impassable, the pavement strewn with trees, pieces of houses and cars with their windows blown out.
Dr. David Hinson was working at the hospital when the tornado hit. He and his wife had to walk several blocks to get to their house, which was destroyed. Several houses down, he helped pull three students from the rubble. One was dead and two were badly injured. He and others used pieces of debris as makeshift stretchers to carry them to an ambulance.
"We just did the best we could to get them out and get them stabilized and get them to help," he said. "I don't know what happened to them."
Back from an aerial tour Thursday morning, Tuscaloosa Mayor Walter Maddox said the tornado tore a streak as many as 4 miles long and a half-mile wide of "utter destruction." There are at least 36 people dead in the city's police jurisdiction, and searches continue for the missing.
"We have neighborhoods that have been basically removed from the map," he said.
Because the city's emergency management building was destroyed, authorities are using Bryant-Denny Stadium at the University of Alabama as a command post.
University officials said there didn't appear to be significant damage on campus, and dozens of students and locals were staying at a 125-bed shelter in the campus recreation center.
The storm system spread destruction from Texas to New York, where dozens of roads were flooded or washed out. The governors of Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia issued emergency declarations for parts of their states.
Dave Imy, a meteorologist with the prediction service, said the deaths were the most since a tornado outbreak killed 315 people in 1974.
In Alabama, where as many as a million people were without power, Gov. Robert Bentley said 2,000 national guard troops had been activated and were helping to search devastated areas for people still missing. He said the National Weather Service and forecasters did a good job of alerting people, but there is only so much that can be done to deal with powerful tornadoes a kilometre wide.

Obama said he had spoken with Bentley and approved his request for emergency federal assistance.
"Our hearts go out to all those who have been affected by this devastation, and we commend the heroic efforts of those who have been working tirelessly to respond to this disaster," Obama said in a statement.
The storms came on the heels of another system that killed 10 people in Arkansas and one in Mississippi earlier this week. Less than two weeks earlier, a smaller batch of twisters raced through Alabama, touching off warning sirens, damaging businesses and downing power lines in Tuscaloosa, but there were no deaths there then.
In Kemper County, Miss., in the east-central part of the state, sisters Florrie Green and Maxine McDonald, and their sister-in-law Johnnie Green, all died in a mobile home that was destroyed by a storm.
"They were thrown into those pines over there," Mary Green, Johnnie Green's daughter-in-law, said, pointing to a wooded area. "They had to go look for their bodies."
In Smithville in northeastern Mississippi, the police station, post office, city hall, an industrial park with several furniture manufacturing facilities and a grocery store were among dozens of buildings ripped apart. A church was cut in half, and pieces of tin were wrapped high around the legs of a blue water tower.
Jessica Monaghan, 24, walked through the wreckage with her 9-month-old son, Slade Scott, strapped to her back, and the baby's father, 23-year-old Tyler Scott, by her side.
Their house was still standing, though the home belonging to Tyler Scott's mother was flattened. He was at work — he's a firefighter in nearby Tupelo — and Monaghan was at home watching TV when broadcasters warned the town could be hit within 10 minutes. By then, she said, the storm was there about that time.
"The baby was already in the closet. I grabbed the cat and got in the closet, too," Monaghan said. "You could just feel the pressure. It really was like a freight train."
And in Pleasant Grove, Samantha Nail surveyed the damage in the blue-collar subdivision where hers was the only home still intact. The storm slammed heavy pickup trucks into ditches and obliterated tidy brick houses, leaving behind a mess of mattresses, electronics and children's toys scattered across a grassy plain where dozens used to live.
"We were in the bathroom holding on to each other and holding on to dear life," Nail said. "If it wasn't for our concrete walls, our home would be gone like the rest of them."

VILONIA, Ark. — A tornado tore up a small central Arkansas town, killing four people and leaving the governor wondering Tuesday how so many others managed to survive. The night of brutal storms killed at least nine people in the state, and more harsh weather was forecast. The tornado smashed through the heart of Vilonia, just north of Little Rock, on Monday night, ripping the roof off the grocery store, flattening homes, tossing vehicles into the air and twisting one tractor-trailer like a wrung dish rag. Gov. Mike Beebe toured the rural community of 3,800 with emergency officials Tuesday morning and talked with storm survivors as they cleared debris from their homes. "These folks have faced some terrible losses and I'm surprised there aren't more fatalities, based upon looking at some of the damage," Beebe said. Beebe credited the survivals on an early tornado-warning system, "luck" and "just the good Lord watching over." The tornado battered most of the homes in the Quail Hollow subdivision of Vilonia, leaving many without a roof. A wooden fence could be seen sticking out of the top one house. Terina Atkins, a middle school librarian, said she and her family rode out the storm in their laundry room. Adkins said she heard a loud sucking noise and realized that air was being sucked out through the drain. "We clogged up the sink and we could feel our ears popping," Atkins said. Faulkner County spokesman Stephan Hawks said the infrastructure in and around Vilonia was badly damaged. "One of the hardest hit things is the utilities. It tore down power lines for, gosh, I'd guess a mile or so. It snapped overhead poles like they were toothpicks. It's pretty devastating," Hawks said. "It was a heck of a little tornado." In Garland County, about 60 miles southwest of Little Rock, rescuers struggled because of the tremendous number of downed trees and power lines. "We still at this time have people trapped in homes that have not been reached because of downed power poles and storm damage," Garland County emergency management coordinator Joy Sanders said. "It looks like we got run over three or four times," Sanders said. Garland County sheriff's spokesman Judy Daniell said an 8-month-old baby was sent to Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock with a head injury, but that no other major injuries have been reported in the area. Crews are double-checking homes to make sure there are no more victims, Daniell said. The deaths from Monday's storms bring this month's storm-related death toll in Arkansas to 15. And forecasters said another bout of bad weather was expected to hammer the state Tuesday afternoon, further complicating rescue efforts. "It may not be over," Beebe said. The National Weather Service office in North Little Rock sent teams to Vilonia and Garland County to investigate the damage and assess how much of it was caused by tornadic or straight-line winds. John Robinson, a weather service warning coordination meteorologist, said it could take days to survey all the damage from Monday's storms. "It wouldn't surprise me if we were to end up with a count of 10 or 12 tornadoes by the time all the surveys are completed," Robinson said. Rescuers in Garland County battled to reach areas that were cut off late Monday by the flooding. Sanders, the emergency coordinator, said crews used boats to rescue people from some storm-damaged areas. "It's difficult this early on to find out what really has happened," said Sanders, who noted that rescuers have thus far relied on reports from residents who speculated about which of their neighbors may have been home when the storm swiped the region. Flooding also led to the death of at least four people in the northwest corner of the state, where raging waters swept vehicles from the roads, according to officials in Washington, Madison and Benton counties. Several rivers in northeast Arkansas topped flood stage, with waters spreading over mainly agricultural land. City Hall in Hardy was evacuated in anticipation of the floodwaters, as were homes along the Spring River, even though most were built on 10-foot pilings. Roads in and out of the area were impassable due to flood waters.

VILONIA, Ark. - Emergency crews worked to account for dozens of people still missing Tuesday after a powerful storm battered Arkansas with floods, high winds and tornados, snapping utility poles, twisting one tractor-trailer like a wrung dish rag and leaving at least seven people dead.
A twister that hit the small, rural town of Vilonia late Monday tore roofs from homes and stores, and tossed vehicles into the air. At least four residents of the close-knit community were killed by the tornado. National Guard soldiers and law enforcement resumed the search early Tuesday for more dead and injured.
The main road through town of 3,800 was passable, but debris still littered the street. Officials set up a command post at a grocery store, whose roof was torn off and deposited in the parking lot by the storm.
Faulkner County sheriff's Capt. Matt Price said he wasn't sure how many people were missing. Late Monday, fire chief Keith Hillman said some 50 to 60 people were still not accounted for. Hundreds of emergency workers from several counties were checking homes.
"We're just getting cranked up. We're doing a pretty intense search," Price said.
The deaths from Monday's storms bring this month's storm-related death toll in Arkansas to 14. And forecasters said another bout of bad weather was expected to hammer the state Tuesday afternoon, further complicating rescue efforts.
Faulkner County spokesman Stephan Hawks said the infrastructure in and around Vilonia was badly damaged.
"One of the hardest hit things is the utilities. It tore down power lines for, gosh, I'd guess a mile or so. It snapped overhead poles like they were toothpicks. It's pretty devastating," Hawks said. "It was a heck of a little tornado."
The National Weather Service office in North Little Rock sent survey teams Tuesday morning to Vilonia, some 25 miles north of Little Rock, and to nearby Garland County. The teams will investigate the damage and assess how much of it was caused by tornadic or straight-line winds.
John Robinson, a weather service warning co-ordination meteorologist, said it could take days to survey all the damage tracks from Monday's storms.
"It wouldn't surprise me if we were to end up with a count of 10 or 12 tornadoes by the time all the surveys are completed," Robinson said.
The storm also caused damage at Little Rock Air Force Base in Jacksonville, Ark., and in Polk County. Authorities cancelled classes at the storm-battered North Pulaski High School near Jacksonville. Schools in other parts of the state told students to stay home because of flooding and storm damage.
Rescuers in Garland County battled to reach areas that were cut off late Monday by the flooding.
Garland County emergency management co-ordinator Joy Sanders said crews used boats to rescue people from storm-damaged areas.
"It's difficult this early on to find out what really has happened," said Sanders, who noted that rescuers have thus far relied on reports from residents who speculated about which of their neighbours may have been home when the storm swiped the region.
National Guard troops were also in Garland County to help clear uprooted trees and snapped utility poles.
"It looks like we got run over three or four times," Sanders said.
Flooding also led to the death of at least three people in the northwest corner of the state, where raging waters swept vehicles from the roads, according to officials in Washington and Madison counties.
Several rivers in northeast Arkansas topped flood stage, with waters spreading over mainly agricultural land. City Hall in Hardy was evacuated in anticipation of the floodwaters, as were homes along the Spring River, even though most were built on 10-foot pilings.
Roads in and out of the area were impassable due to flood waters.
