5:02 FORECAST ON THE 2'S-WX WALL

Today's Weather Story

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA."HOTTER AND DRIER THAN NORMAL"

We're in store for a hotter and drier weather pattern as we round out the work week as a strong ridge of high pressure builds westward from the Atlantic.

Our mornings will start off warm and muggy with temperatures in the upper 70s to low 80s. With plenty of sunshine overhead through the afternoon hours, highs will be running a couple of degrees above the norm as most locations will climb into the middle 90s, with our beach and coastal locations nearing the 90° mark. Combine the actual air temperature with the humidity and the "feels like" temperature will feel a lot hotter than what the thermometer is actually reading. In fact, heat index values will soar into the low 100s.

Due to a drier airmass settling across the Florida peninsula, rain prospects will remain slim to none with the mention of only a late afternoon stray shower.

Not much cooling will take place, as temperatures through the evening hours will be slow to fall. Tonight, expect mostly clear conditions with lows in the upper 70s to near 80° along the coast with mid 70s across our inland communities.

Full Forecast

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA."HOTTER AND DRIER THAN NORMAL"

We're in store for a hotter and drier weather pattern as we round out the work week as a strong ridge of high pressure builds westward from the Atlantic.

Our mornings will start off warm and muggy with temperatures in the upper 70s to low 80s. With plenty of sunshine overhead through the afternoon hours, highs will be running a couple of degrees above the norm as most locations will climb into the middle 90s, with our beach and coastal locations nearing the 90° mark. Combine the actual air temperature with the humidity and the "feels like" temperature will feel a lot hotter than what the thermometer is actually reading. In fact, heat index values will soar into the low 100s.

Due to a drier airmass settling across the Florida peninsula, rain prospects will remain slim to none with the mention of only a late afternoon stray shower.

Not much cooling will take place, as temperatures through the evening hours will be slow to fall. Tonight, expect mostly clear conditions with lows in the upper 70s to near 80° along the coast with mid 70s across our inland communities.
