Warmer for South Florida with Weekend Rain Chances
FLORIDA. OF COURSE, PUTTING THE THREAT FOR BRUSH FIRES EVEN HIGHER UP THAN WHAT IT IS. WE’RE GETTING SOME RAIN. WILL THAT HELP AT ALL? YEAH. I MEAN, ANY SORT OF PRECIPITATION THAT WE GET GOING FORWARD, ANY KIND OF MOISTURE WILL HELP. WE’LL GET SOME RAIN, PROBABLY. MOST LIKELY BY SATURDAY. THERE’S AN OFF CHANCE WE SEE SOMETHING TONIGHT. BUT FIRE AND SMOKE. YOU SEE THESE HOT SPOTS HERE? I MEAN, ALL SURROUNDING THE LAKE AND UP IN OKEECHOBEE, WHERE THE FIRE RISK IS AT ITS HIGHEST TODAY FOR WILDFIRES. IT’S MODERATE AROUND THE REST OF OUR AREA, BUT ACTIVE SITUATION AGAIN, EXTREME DROUGHT EXTENDING UP HERE ON THE TREASURE COAST WHERE IT DOESN’T TAKE MUCH, JUST A LITTLE SPARK TO IGNITE AN OUT OF CONTROL BLAZE. BUT THEY’RE WORKING REALLY HARD TO MITIGATE THE RISK OF CATASTROPHIC FIRE. WE’VE HAD STORIES ON IT ALL WEEK AND ANOTHER TODAY, SO MAKE SURE YOU TUNE IN FOR THAT. MEANWHILE, IT’S MILDER OUTSIDE, STILL IN THE 40S. I MEAN, IT’S BRISK IN OKEECHOBEE, 45. 48 IN SEBASTIAN, 55. IN STUART. WE GOT 60 OUT OF PBIA. 63 IN BOCA RATON. SO MUCH MILDER AROUND SOUTH COUNTY. FOR YOUR 12 HOUR FORECAST, PORT SAINT LUCIE, WE’RE GOING TO SEE THE 50S THEN JUMPING UP INTO THE UPPER 70S VERY QUICKLY THIS AFTERNOON, 79 TO 81 THE RANGE LITTLE LOW CLOUD COVER. SO SOME IMPACT I THINK FOR THE PALM BEACHES. NOT SHOWING ANYTHING WITH FOG YET, BUT WE HAVE THE POTENTIAL. THE CONDITIONS ARE RIPE. IT’S MURKY. IT’S MORE HUMID OUT THERE. SO THE RISK OF SOME FOG UNTIL ABOUT 8 A.M. WE’LL KEEP YOU POSTED. 9 A.M. UPPER 60S. THEN WE ARE AT THE NEAR 80 DEGREE RANGE THIS AFTERNOON WITH JUST AN OFF CHANCE OF A SHOWER FOR THE WEEKEND. IMPACT FOR WIDESPREAD SCATTERED RAINS LATE ON SATURDAY, SO I THINK WE’LL GET THE PLAY IN FOR THE PGA TOURNAMENT, THE COGNIZANT CLASSIC, AND THE
