SO AS WE HEAD OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS, WE’RE GOING TO KEEP THAT RAIN CHANCE IN THE FORECAST IMPACT WEATHER BECAUSE OF THE SCATTERED RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS. BUSY SATURDAY, BUSY WEEKEND IS FATHER’S DAY WEEKEND AND THE LAST DAY OF SPRING. SUMMER STARTS OFFICIALLY TOMORROW 91 THOUGH RIGHT NOW, WITH IT FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURE OF 104 DEGREES. WHEN YOU FACTOR IN HUMIDITY AT 64%, TWO POINTS IN THE UPPER 70S, INDICATING A VERY MOIST AND DAMP AIR MASS IN PLACE. REALLY COOL ABOUT THIS IS YOU CAN SEE THE SEA BREEZE. YOU CAN SEE WHERE THERE’S NOT A LOT OF CLOUDS OUT TOWARDS THE ATLANTIC, WHERE THERE’S A LOT OF CLOUDS FURTHER INLAND. AND THAT’S WHERE WE DO FIND THAT RAINFALL THAT WE’RE WATCHING IN INLAND PALM BEACH COUNTY, TEMPERATURES FOR THE DRY SPOTS STILL FEELING LIKE THE UPPER 90S THROUGH AT LEAST 7 P.M., THAT WILL GET SOME RELIEF FROM THE HEAT AS THE SUN BEGINS TO SET A LITTLE AFTER 815 THIS EVENING. TOMORROW, SUNRISE JUST AROUND 615 IN THE MORNING. TAKING A LOOK AT TOMORROW AS WELL. WE HAVE A SOUTHERLY WIND, 5 TO 10 KNOTS AND LATE STORMS IN THE FORECAST RIP CURRENT RISK IS LOW. SCATTERED RAIN AND STORMS DO CONTINUE THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS WITH A LINGERING SHOWER OR 10:02 O’CLOCK TONIGHT, AS WE HEAD INTO YOUR SUNDAY MORNING OFF TO A DRY, QUIET BUT VERY HUMID AND WARM START. WIND DIRECTION OUT OF THE SOUTH, PUMPING IN SOME VERY WARM AIR FOR YOUR MORNING. BUT I THINK IT’S GOING TO MAKE FOR A REALLY PRETTY SUNRISE. AS WE HEAD INTO THE LATER HALF OF THE AFTERNOON, WE’LL SEE A COUPLE OF SHOWERS AND SOME STORMS BUBBLING UP LATE. SCATTERED ACTIVITY FOR THE TREASURE COAST. NOT EVERYONE WILL SEE A GOOD CHUNK OF THE RAIN FOR YOUR SUNDAY. WE ACTUALLY ENTER SLIGHTLY DRIER PATTERN HEADING INTO MONDAY AS WELL. COUPLE SCATTERED SHOWERS, COUPLE THUNDERSTORMS HERE AND THERE. VERY SUMMER LIKE WEATHER IN PLAY. NO INFLUENCES FROM THE TROPICS EITHER. NOW TUESDAY COULD SEE A LITTLE EXTRA MOISTURE BUILDING IN FOR THE AREA, SO BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THAT LATE AFTERNOON THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING. BUT WE DO HAVE SOMETHING ON THE WAY TO TALK ABOUT FOR NOW. AGAIN, NOTHING EXPECTED TO DEVELOP IN THE GULF, THE CARIBBEAN OR THE ATLANTIC, AT LEAST THROUGH THE END OF THE MONTH. BUT WE DO HAVE SAHARAN DUST AND THAT DOES DRY THE ATMOSPHERE OUT, DOES PREVENT TROPICAL DEVELOPMENT, AND IT ALSO CAN HELP SUPPRESS WIDESPREAD RAINFALL. WE HAVE A COUPLE OF ROUNDS OF IT MOVING IN AS WE HEAD INTO THAT NEW WORKWEEK, AND THEN MORE OF IT MOVING IN BY THE NEXT WEEKEND. SO WE DO HAVE THAT SETUP THAT WILL INFLUENCE OUR WEATHER HERE IN SOUTH FLORIDA, AND IT’S GOING TO HELP PREVENT, AGAIN, KIND OF SITUATION THAT WE’RE DEALING WITH TODAY. WHAT WE SAW YESTERDAY, YOU’RE GOING TO NOTICE A LITTLE BIT DRIER AS WE HEAD INTO THE SUMMER MONTHS. SO TAKE A LOOK. FIRST WARNING WEATHER SEVEN DAY FORECAST. IT’S GOING TO BE HOT EVERY SINGLE DAY. WE HAVE 90S MID 90S FEELING LIKE THE TRIPLE DIGITS. WE’LL LET YOU KNOW IF HEAT ADVISORIES ARE IN PLAY, BUT TREAT EVERY DAY LIKE A HEAT ADVISORY DAY BECAUSE IT’S GOING TO FEEL OVER 100 PLUS DEGREES EVERY SINGLE AFTERNOON. IT’S GOING TO GET VERY, VERY TOASTY FOR THE AREA. SO WE JUST WANT YOU GUYS TO BE SAFE. TEMPERATURES FOR YOUR MONDAY WILL FEEL OVER 105 PLUS DEGREES. AGAIN, WE’RE NOT LOOKING AT WIDESPREAD RAIN. SO WITHOUT THE RAIN WE’RE REALLY GOING TO HEAT THINGS UP COME SUNDAY. FATHER’S DAY, FIRST DAY OF SUMMER. HERE’S WHAT WE’RE LOOKING AT FOR YOU. TEMPERATURES JUST AROUND LUNCHTIME IN THE 90S, MID 90S BY THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS. AND THEN LOOK FOR A COUPLE OF STORMS IN THE F
