Welcome Nikki Sheaks, South Florida forecast

REALLY UNBEARABLE, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE TO BE OUTDOORS. BUT AGAIN, WE ARE VERY, VERY LUCKY TO BE LIVING IN SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SUNSHINE STATE, YOU KNOW? NO WONDER WHY IT’S CALLED THE SUNSHINE STATE. YEAH, EXACTLY. AND WE ARE ALSO VERY HAPPY TO WELCOME OUR NEW SUNSHINE HERE. THIS IS OUR NEWEST MEMBER OF OUR FIRST WARNING WEATHER TEAM, NIKKI SHEEKS AND NIKKI, WE’VE BEEN LEARNING A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT YOU THROUGHOUT THE NEWSCAST. MOST RECENTLY THAT YOU WERE MISS TREASURE COAST. THAT WAS WHAT A COOL EXPERIENCE. BUT WE’RE GOING TO GET TO KNOW YOU MORE AS WE GO THROUGH THE NEWSCAST, SO BE SURE TO STICK WITH US THROUGH THAT. BUT LET’S TALK MORE ABOUT WHAT WE HAVE ON OUR HORIZON. LOOKS LIKE WARMER WEATHER, THANKFULLY. YEAH. I MEAN, WE HAD OUR BATCH OF COLD OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, BUT THANKFULLY WE ARE GOING TO BE WARMING UP NOW FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO SIT A COUPLE DEGREES BELOW SEASONAL, AS YOU CAN SEE HERE ON YOUR FIRST WARNING WEATHER SEVEN DAY FORECAST. BUT TAKE A LOOK AT TUESDAY WEDNESDAY BREAKING INTO THE UPPER 70S AND TOWARDS THE END OF THE WEEK, TEMPERATURES GOING TO BE BREAKING INTO THE 80S. BUT I DO WANT TO POINT OUT WE HAVE ANOTHER COLD FRONT SLIDING THROUGH ON FRIDAY. THAT’S GOING TO BE BRINGING A VERY LOW END CHANCE FOR SEEING A COUPLE OF SHOWERS HEADED OUR WAY. BUT NOTICE THAT FRONT REALLY NOT GOING TO BE IMPACTING OUR TEMPERATURES AS TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO REMAIN IN THE UPPER 70S FOR VALENTINE’S DAY WEEKEND. BUT LET’S GET TO WHAT WE’RE SEEING TODAY. GORGEOUS DAY FOR US HERE IN SOUTH FLORIDA AS WE’RE LOOKING AT MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES, TEMPERATURES GOING TO BE SITTING IN THE LOW 70S THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. GOING TO BE A GREAT DAY TO HEAD OUT TO THE FARMER’S MARKET. HEAD OUT TO TRADITION WHERE TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO BE BREAKING INTO THE 70S. BY THE TIME WE HEAD INTO THE LUNCH HOUR. GOING TO BE A GORGEOUS MORNING THERE. MAYBE GRAB A SWEATER AS TEMPERATURES WILL BE A LITTLE BIT COOLER TO START THE DAY OFF, AND THEN THEY WILL PROGRESSIVELY GET A BIT MORE COMFORTABLE. RIGHT NOW, TEMPERATURES SITTING IN THE UPPER 40S AND 50S FOR THE PALM BEACHES 49 IN BELLE GLADE. WE’RE AT 45 RIGHT NOW IN INDIANTOWN, 46 IN PALM CITY, 45 RIGHT NOW IN LAKE PARK, 45 IN FORT PIERCE, OVER IN FELLSMERE, 44 DEGREES, 46 IN SEBASTIAN AND 44 RIGHT NOW IN OKEECHOBEE. AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE NEXT 12 HOURS, PLENTY OF SUNSHINE IN THE FORECAST. TEMPERATURES WILL BE SITTING IN THE LOW 70S FOR THE PALM BEACHES. BY THE TIME WE HEAD INTO THE LATE MORNING EARLY AFTERNOON, THE TREASURE COAST WILL TAKE A COUPLE MORE HOURS TO GET TO THOSE 70S. ABOUT THE ONE 2:00 HOUR, THAT’S WHEN TEMPERATURES WILL BE AT THEIR PEAK AGAIN. GREAT DAY TO GET OUTSIDE AS WE’RE LOOKING AT MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES, WE WON’T BE SEEING A DROP OF RAINFALL AS WE CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS DRY AIR FILTERING INTO SOUTH FLORIDA. THAT’S WHAT’S BEEN LIMITING THE RAIN, AS WELL AS KEEPING OUR SKIES NICE AND CLEAR THROUGHOUT THIS WEEKEND. AND AGAIN, THAT’S GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO SO THROUGHOUT THE DAY TODAY. SO GOING TO BE A NICE DAY TO GET OUTSIDE. BUT WE DO REALLY NEED THE RAINFALL. AND WE’RE NOT GOING TO BE SEEING ANY OF IT. AS WE’VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT TODAY. AND WE REALLY WON’T BE SEEING ANY OF IT FOR OUR MONDAY AS THOSE SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE TO SIT OFFSHORE AND WE REALLY WON’T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR SEEING THOSE SHOWERS UNTIL WE HEAD TOWARDS NEXT FRIDAY. SO YOU CAN SEE THAT HERE OVER THE NEXT FIVE DAYS. NICE AND DRY. GREAT TIME TO GET OUTSIDE, ENJOY THE SUNSHINE, HEAD OUT TO THE BEACH AND THEN FRIDAY. WE DO HAVE A VERY LIMITED RAIN CHANCE IN THE FORECAST AS OUR NEXT COLD FRONT PUSHES THROUGH. SO A VERY TYPICAL WINTER WEATHER IN SOUTH FLORIDA. YOU KNOW IT IS OUR DRY SEASON. AND SO THIS IS WHEN WE TEND TO SEE THOSE DEFICITS, THOSE RAINFALL DEFICITS BUILD IN. AND UNFORTUNATELY THAT DROUGHT WILL WORSEN THROUGH THIS TIME FRAME. SO ANY DROP OF RAIN WE CAN GET IS VERY NEEDED. YEAH EXACTLY THAT. ALL RIGHT. SO LET’S TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT YOU. NOW. WHERE DID YOU GO TO SCHOOL. YEAH. SO I WENT TO FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY. HAD TO STAY IN SOUTH FLORIDA. AND THERE YOU COULD SEE ME. I WAS A CHEERLEADER THERE. I HAD A LOT OF FUN. BUT ONE OF MY FAVORITE PARTS OF BEING A CHEERLEADER AT FIU, WE WOULD GET TO TRAVEL AND OUR BIG GAME WAS ALWAYS PLAYING FOR YOU, SO IT WAS ALWAYS FUN TO TAKE THAT BUS RIDE UP TO BOCA, AND IT WAS JUST A FUN GAME. AND YOU KNOW, IT’S SOUTH FLORIDA. YOU HAVE SO MANY FUN THINGS TO DO HERE. BUT YEAH, NOT ONLY DID I CHEER, I SHOULD GET TO THE POINT OF THIS. I HAVE A DUAL DEGREE IN ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCE AS WELL AS BROADCAST JOURNALISM. AND YOU KNOW, ONE OF MY FOCUSES IN COLLEGE WAS HURRICANES. THAT WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE CLASSES. AND, YOU KNOW, THAT’S WHAT REALLY GOT ME INTO THE WEATHER. SO VERY EXCITED TO UTILIZE THAT HERE. HOPEFULLY WE DON’T HAVE ANYTHING SERIOUS, RIGHT. YEAH. YOU KNOW I WILL BE ON TOP OF IT. ABSOLUTELY. THAT IS SO COOL. REALLY BRINGING ALL YOUR EXPERIEN

It’s another cool and sunny day for South Florida, but temperatures will be warming up to the upper 70s by the midweek.
