Impact with Heat Advisory for South Florida
METEOROLOGIST SANDRA SHAW TRACKING THIS LOOMING HEAT THIS MORNING. NO, I DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU GUYS, BUT I CAN DEFINITELY FEEL IT. WHEN I WALK OUT THE DOOR FEELING LIKE THE LOW 90S HERE IN THE PALM BEACHES, AND WE’RE UNDER IMPACT WEATHER TODAY BECAUSE OF THE HEAT. HEAT ADVISORY STATUS MEANS THAT IT WILL FEEL LIKE 105 TO 112 REALLY WILL BE IN THE LOWER STATUS OF THAT. BUT IT’S GOING TO BE FOR A SUSTAINED PERIOD OF TIME. SO IF YOU’RE EXPOSED, THE RISK OF HEAT RELATED ILLNESS IS PREMIUM TODAY. IT IS NOT A DAY TO ROLL THE DICE. AND HERE’S THE CASE IN POINT. THE HEAT RISK TODAY IN MAJOR ACROSS ALL OF OUR AREA, EVEN SOME POCKETS OF EXTREME IT LOOKS LIKE UP ON THE TREASURE COAST TREASURE COAST COOL DOWN A LITTLE MORE THAN THE PALM BEACHES LAST NIGHT, BUT AFTER SUNRISE IT’S FAIR GAME FOR ANYBODY. SO MAJOR HEAT RISK TODAY, NOT THE DAY TO WORK OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY FOR SURE. OR DO ANYTHING EXERTIVE IF YOU CAN AVOID IT. OUR CURRENT TEMPERATURES, THESE ARE ACTUAL TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE 70S AND LOW 80S, SO NOT A BIG COOLDOWN AT ALL LAST NIGHT. AND THEN AS YOU SAW, WHEN YOU FACTOR IN THAT HUMIDITY WITH THE 80S, IT FEELS LIKE THE LOW 90S. ALSO, THIS IS THE REMNANT LOW FROM ARTHUR. IT’S STILL PRODUCING A LOT OF RAIN OVER, ESPECIALLY NEW ORLEANS, WHICH SITS BELOW SEA LEVEL ANYWAY. SO THEY’VE HAD SEEN A LOT OF FLOODING THERE. IT’S GOING TO CONTINUE TO MOVE UP NORTHEAST THROUGHOUT THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. LOOK AT ALL THE SQUALL LINE HERE, ALL THE NUMEROUS LIGHTNING STRIKES, MORE THAN 300 STRIKES HERE. THANKFULLY, THAT’S OUT IN GULF WATERS. BUT WHERE YOU SEE ALL THE GREEN HERE, THOSE ARE FLOOD WARNINGS THAT ARE IN PLAY IN THAT VICINITY. SO WE’LL CONTINUE TO TRACK THAT. THE REST OF THE TROPICS QUIET IMPACT FROM NOON UNTIL SEVEN WHEN THAT HEAT
