Fire weather watch for South Florida
IN PUBLIC OR A SOCIAL MEDIA EVENT, IT JUST REALLY HELPS WITH THE DOGS. AND OVERALL, YOU KNOW, I’M A BIG SUPPORTER OF FOSTERING AS WELL. BUT LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT IS HAPPENING ACROSS FLORIDA. WE’VE BEEN FOSTERING SOME VERY DRY CONDITIONS. IN FACT, SO DRY THAT WE HAVE SEVERE TO EXTREME DROUGHT PRETTY MUCH COVERING THE ENTIRE STATE. WE’VE SEEN VERY LITTLE RAINFALL. AND BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF RAIN AND THE DRY CONDITIONS AND THE EXPECTED BIG CHANGES IN THE UPCOMING DAYS, WE COULD EVEN SEE FIRE OUTBREAKS THROUGHOUT THE STATE AS WELL, FIRE SPREADING VERY EASILY. I’LL EXPLAIN WHY IN JUST A LITTLE BIT. SO AGAIN, WE HAVE ANOTHER COLD FRONT ON THE WAY WITH IT. IT’S GOING TO BRING IN SOME RAINFALL BEHIND IT, SOME VERY COLD AND DRY AIR. AND WITH THAT OUR HUMIDITY VALUES WILL DROP, THE DEW POINTS WILL DROP. AND WITH THAT VERY DRY AIR IN PLACE AND SOME GUSTY WINDS, IF THERE ARE ANY ACTIVE FIRES OR ANY FIRES TO START, THEY CAN SPREAD EXTREMELY QUICKLY AND EASILY. SO TAKE A LOOK. OUR COLD FRONT ROLLS IN. WE HAVE SOME SCATTERED RAINFALL AHEAD OF IT THAT WILL BE STARTING ON SUNDAY. TREASURE COAST FIRST, MAYBE A LITTLE AFTER 12:00, AND THEN FROM ONE TO RIGHT AROUND 4:00 ACROSS THE PALM BEACHES COULD EVEN SEE AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM. BUT WATCH THOSE BLUES WORK THEIR WAY INTO SOUTH FLORIDA STARTING SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING, AND THEN EVEN INTO TUESDAY MORNING. SO IF YOU LIKE THE COLD TEMPERATURES, THIS IS THE WEATHER FOR YOU FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT. MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY. THAT IS WHEN WE GET A BREAK FROM TEMPERATURES IN THOSE MID 80S. TOMORROW WE COULD EVEN SEE TEMPERATURES NEARING RECORD HEAT IN THE UPPER 80S. LOOK AT THE HUMIDITY VALUES, THE PERCENTAGES DROPPING DRASTICALLY SUNDAY NIGHT INTO THE 20S AND 30S. AGAIN, THAT’S SOME VERY DRY AIR. AND THEN WE’LL SEE SOME DRY AIR STICKING AROUND EVEN INTO MONDAY WITH HUMIDITY VALUES IN THE LOW 20S AND TEENS. AND AGAIN, ON TOP OF THAT, WINDS WILL BE GUSTING OUT OF THE NORTHWEST. VERY WINDY AT TIMES WHEN YOU FACTOR IN THAT LOW HUMIDITY, THOSE BREEZY CONDITIONS, THE DRY CONDITIONS AGAIN, FIRES CAN SPREAD VERY EASILY. WE’LL HAVE WINDS GUSTING ANYWHERE INTO THE MID 20S, EVEN UP TO 30MPH THERE ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA AND THE TREASURE COAST. SO NOW WE ARE UNDER A FIRE. WEATHER WATCH THAT WILL GO INTO EFFECT STARTING FOR YOUR DAY ON SUNDAY FOR THE TREASURE COAST FIRST, AND THEN EVENTUALLY THE ENTIRE AREA ALL ON MONDAY BECAUSE OF THAT VERY DRY AIR FUTURE TRACK SHOWING THAT SCATTERED RAINFALL MOVING IN BY THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS FOR THE PALM BEACHES, BUT A LITTLE BIT OF AN EARLIER START FOR THE TREASURE COAST THERE FROM RIGHT AROUND 1 TO 2:00, FROM TWO TO RIGHT AROUND 4:00 ACROSS PALM BEACH. SO AGAIN, A LITTLE SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND. AND THEN FROM THERE, THAT COLD AIR DOES MOVE IN WAKING UP TO THE 40S, THE 30S, AND A FEW MORE 40S IN THE UPCOMING DAYS. MID 80S IS WHAT WE SAW EARLIER TODAY. AND THEN THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS, TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO TUMBLE DOWN INTO THE 70S THE 60S LOOK FOR PATCHY, DENSE FOG DEVELOPING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS HEADING INTO YOUR MONDAY MORNING. SO AGAIN, SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND AS WE HEAD OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS THERE. PATCHY DENSE FOG FOR THE MORNING. NOT THE BEST BEACH OR BOATING CONDITIONS EITHER. SO HERE’S YOUR FIRST WARNING WEATHER SEVEN DAY FORECAST. LET ME SHOW YOU THAT VERY COLD AIR WE’RE ANTICIPATING FOR YOUR TUESDAY. WOW, LOOK AT ALL THOSE 30S AND 40S. FACTOR IN THE WINDS. IT WILL MAKE IT FEEL EVEN COLDER. SO WE ARE GOING TO BE ON THE LOOKOUT IF WE DO HAVE A
