WEATHER IS COMING UP.
Return to index of stories...
HOT WEATHER - LESS RAIN
Look like we are in for a few mainly dry, but hot, days. The low pressure area in northern Florida continues to drift farther north and will keep southwest winds over the area for the rest of today and tonight. This will lead to some isolated thunderstorms this afternoon and evening - mainly inland and east of the interstate. Temperatures will continue to be muggy and mild this evening with a low in the 70's tomorrow morning.
Computer models continue to show an area of high pressure in the Atlantic building over Florida on Thursday and Friday. This weather pattern looks to set up some very hot days for us and my forecast calls for 95 to 96 degrees both days. There will still be sufficient humidity to bring our heat index over 100 degrees both days. Afternoon thunderstorms will take a break for a few days but despite the outlook for mainly dry weather, I think there could be an isolated storm developing on Friday. For forward planning this weekend … expect hot and humid days with a few storms on Saturday and better coverage of afternoon storms on Sunday.
