Heat risk today for South Florida
THE CAUSE IS ONGOING. BROOKE. ALL RIGHT. 448 ON A MONDAY. YESTERDAY, WE HAD RECORD HEAT IN THE WEST PALM AREA, 96 DEGREES TODAY. WE’LL SEE TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 90S. SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND IS WHEN THE AIR TEMPERATURE TOPS OUT IN THE MID 90S, CERTAIN SURFACES CAN FEEL SO MUCH HOTTER. WE’RE TALKING SIDEWALKS CAN FEEL OVER 140 PLUS DEGREES, AND ASPHALT COULD FEEL ALMOST UP TO 160 DEGREES IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT. WE DO HAVE A HEAT RISK FOR TODAY, RANGING ANYWHERE FROM MAJOR TO MODERATE, MEANING IT CAN GET VERY DANGEROUS BEING OUTDOORS IN THE DIRECT SUN IF YOU’RE NOT HYDRATED, IF YOU’RE NOT WEARING THE RIGHT PRECAUTIONS THERE. SO JUST MAKE SURE YOU ARE TAKING BREAKS FROM BEING OUTDOORS. ALTHOUGH WE’RE NOT UNDER A HEAT ADVISORY. TEMPERATURES WILL STILL FEEL OVER 100 PLUS DEGREES FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. FOR NOW, THIS MORNING, WAKING UP WITH DRY CONDITIONS ON OUR RADAR. DIFFERENT STORY. LATER TODAY WE’LL SEE A COUPLE SEABREEZE SHOWERS AND STORMS DEVELOPING FOR THE AREA. RIGHT NOW, 73 DEGREES OVER IN PORT SAINT LUCIE, UNDER CALM CONDITIONS. WE’LL SEE THOSE WINDS MAINLY OUT OF THE SOUTH TODAY, WHICH WILL HELP HEAT US UP AND ALSO INCREASE THE HUMIDITY, MAKING TEMPERATURES FEEL SO MUCH HOTTER. 79 OVER IN THE BOCA AREA WINDS OUT OF THE WEST JUST AROUND TWO MILES PER HOUR. HERE’S A LOOK OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS. TEMPERATURES HEATING ONCE AGAIN INTO THE MID 90S THIS AFTERNOON. WE’RE GOING TO FEEL LIKE THE TRIPLE DIGITS, BUT BEFORE THEN, BY AROUND SUNRISE IT’S GOING TO BE A WARM START WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 70S. THEN WE’LL HIT THE UPPER 80S AS EARLY AS 11:00. AS WE HEAD INTO THE DAY. TODAY WE HAVE THE MID 90S FOR YOU. WE’LL SEE A LATE SEA BREEZE SETTLING IN. SO A LITTLE AFTER LUNCH TIME BECAUSE MAYBE AN ISOLATED SHOWER, BUT ANY CHANCE OF RAINFALL? LATE AFTERNOON. VERY ISOLATED IN NATURE. NOT EVERYONE WILL SEE THE RAIN TODAY. HEADING INTO YOUR TUESDAY MORNING, STARTING OFF WITH A DRY START. TEMPERATURES HEATING INTO THE 90S VERY EARLY ON. LOOK FOR A COUPLE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING LATE AFTERNOON. MOST OF THE ACTIVITY ON THE WESTERN HALF OF THE STATE. WE’RE NOT GOING TO SEE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RAINFALL THIS WEEK, BUT WE STILL HAVE THE CHANCE OF RAIN AND STORMS EVERY SINGLE DAY. NOT GOING TO BE SUPER WIDESPREAD. BEACH AND BOATING FOR TODAY. LOOK FOR SOUTHERLY WIND AROUND 5 TO 10 KNOTS OFFSHORE AND A LOW RIP CURRENT RISK. DEFINITELY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT. WE’LL SEE A LITTLE BIT OF SAHARAN DUST WORKING ITS WAY INTO PORTIONS OF SOUTH FLORIDA BY THE END OF THE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND. AGAIN, THIS DOES LIMIT TROPICAL DEVELOPMENT. AND ALSO IT COULD HELP ENHANCE MAYBE THE HEAT FOR US HERE IN SOUTH FLORIDA, BUT ALSO LIMIT WIDESPREAD RAINFALL FOR THE AREA. WHEN WE HAVE THAT VERY DRY AIR IN PLACE. TAKE A LOOK AT THE FORECAST FOR YOUR TUESDAY. IT’S GOING TO BE ANOTHER HOT ONE. TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 90S. IT’S GOING TO FEEL LIKE THE TRIPLE DIGITS. JUST A COUPLE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND SOME THUNDERSTORMS IN THE MIX. AND THEN WEDNESDAY, EQUALLY AS STEAMY FOR THE AREA. TEMPERATURES TOPPING OUT IN THE LOW 90S AS WELL. FEELING LIKE THE TRIPLE DIGITS FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. SO THIS WHOLE ENTIR
