More Storms in Store for South Florida

IT’S CRAZY THAT IT WAS ONLY LIKE THREE FEET WIDE, AND IT MADE THAT LOUD OF A SOUND THAT SENT EVERYONE SCRAMBLING. BUT, YOU KNOW, I GUESS IF IT’S COMING IN FROM SPACE, IT’S GOING PRETTY FAST. IT’S GOING VERY FAST. AND LUCKILY EVERYBODY’S OKAY. EVERYONE IS OKAY. HOW’S WEATHER LOOKING FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK? YOU KNOW, IT’S GOING TO BE HOT AND HUMID THIS AFTERNOON, BUT WE DO HAVE SOME MUCH NEEDED RAINFALL ON THE WAY. WE JUST HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL MAINLY THIS EVENING. SO IF YOU WANT TO GET OUTSIDE TODAY, DO IT THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY TO AVOID THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY AS WELL AS THE RAINFALL. BUT YOU WILL NOTICE WE DO HAVE A MODERATE TO MAJOR HEAT RISK ONCE AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON. SO THESE ARE THE AREAS WHERE YOU’RE MOST VULNERABLE TO HEAT ILLNESSES. SO LIMIT YOUR TIME IN THE SUN. IF YOU DO HAVE TO WORK OUTSIDE OR DO ANY STRENUOUS ACTIVITY OUTSIDE, JUST MAKE SURE YOU’RE DRINKING PLENTY OF WATER. WEAR LOOSE, COMFORTABLE CLOTHES. MAKE SURE YOUR PETS ALWAYS HAVE ACCESS TO COOL WATER AS WELL. TO START YOUR SUNDAY OFF. TEMPERATURES. SITTING IN THE UPPER 70S, WE’RE AT 78 IN FORT PIERCE, 78 IN HOBE SOUND AND 79 IN WEST PALM BEACH. AND AS WE LOOK AT YOUR DAY, TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO BE CLIMBING INTO THE LOW TO MID 90S. WE SHOULD STILL BE IN THE 80S FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. SO OUR TEMPERATURES ARE ALREADY WELL ABOVE SEASONAL. AND THEN ONCE YOU FACTOR IN THE HUMIDITY, GOING TO BE FEELING EVEN WARMER THAN THAT, RAINFALL WILL BEGIN TO MOVE INTO THE AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON. THAT’S WHEN WE WILL BE TRACKING SOME ISOLATED ACTIVITY. AND THEN AS WE HEAD INTO THIS EVENING, THAT’S WHEN WE WILL BE SEEING THE BULK OF THE COVERAGE. WE WILL BE TRACKING SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS WITH ABOUT 40% COVERAGE. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT HERE ON FUTURECAST. A DRY START TO OUR DAY. PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES TO GET OUTSIDE. SOAK UP SOME SUNSHINE. HERE’S A LOOK AROUND THE ONE 2:00 HOUR. STILL LOOKING AT FAIRLY DRY CONDITIONS. LATE AFTERNOON, EARLY EVENING. WE WILL BE TRACKING SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS AND STORMS. AND THEN I WOULD SAY AROUND EIGHT, 9:00 IS WHEN WE ARE GOING TO BE SEEING THE BULK OF THE COVERAGE ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA. SO IF YOU HAVE ANY LATE NIGHT PLANS OR ANY LATE DINNER PLANS, JUST MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RAIN GEAR WITH YOU AND KEEP IT HANDY BECAUSE YOU WILL GET SOME USE OUT OF IT AS WE LOOK AHEAD TO THE COMING DAYS. BUT FIRST, FOR YOUR SUNDAY HIGHS GOING TO BE SITTING LOW TO MID 90S. ONCE YOU FACTOR IN THAT HUMIDITY, GOING TO BE FEELING MORE LIKE THE UPPER 90S AND EVEN HUNDREDS OUT THERE. AND IF YOU’RE HOPING FOR SOME RELIEF AS WE HEAD INTO THE WORKWEEK, NOT GOING TO BE THE CASE AS WE WILL BE ONCE AGAIN ABOVE AVERAGE LOW TO MID 90S. FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURES, UPPER 90S AND HUNDREDS. IT IS GOING TO BE ANOTHER STEAMY DAY FOR US AS WE HAVE PLENTY OF MOISTURE IN THE ATMOSPHERE AND WITH ALL THAT MOISTURE ON TUESDAY, I’M CALLING FOR IMPACT WEATHER AS SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE AT AT LEAST 50% COVERAGE. COLD FRONT WILL BE PUSHING THROUGH ON WEDNESDAY. NOT GOING TO BE BRINGING COLD AIR OUR WAY, BUT NOTICE HOW IT IS GOING TO BE DRYING US OUT. AS WE CAN EXPECT, JUST 30% COVERAGE. SO SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS AND STORMS COME MIDWEEK, AND THEN WE’RE GOING TO BE DRYING OUT FOR THE END OF THE WEEK, BRINGING OUR TEMPERATURES CLOSER TO OUR SEASONAL AVERAGE. BUT WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE, WE WILL SEE SOME SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL ACROSS OUR AREA. WE DEFINITELY NEED IT. AS DROUGHT STILL LINGERS. SO OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS, MANY OF US WILL SEE AT LEAST AN INCH OF ACCUMULATION. WE COULD HAVE SOME POCKETS OF HEAVIER RAINFAL
