Heat soars as Saharan dust saturates South Florida
BECAUSE IT’S GOING TO BE SO HOT OUT THERE. ALL RIGHT, SO HERE’S A LOOK AT THE SATELLITE AND RADAR. WE HAD A FEW OF THESE INLAND SHOWERS AND STORMS FLARE UP. AND THEN AS THEY ARE DIMINISHING WITH THAT DUST MOVING IN, THAT’S WHAT WE’RE GOING TO SEE LOWER AND LOWER STORM CHANCES EACH AND EVERY AFTERNOON. SO THE BIGGER WEATHER STORY WILL BE THE HEAT THAT WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD ON IT. RIGHT NOW. HERE’S A LIVE LOOK AT FIRST WARNING DOPPLER RADAR. A LITTLE SPRINKLE ACTIVITY OUT HERE. THE ACREAGE TAKE YOU DOWN. SEMINOLE PRATT DOWN TO WEST LAKE. A LITTLE SHOWER ACTIVITY THERE. AND THEN FROM WELLINGTON POLO FIELDS ACROSS SOUTHERN. AND THEN YOU GET INTO LOXAHATCHEE AND ARDEN. A LITTLE BIT OF LIGHT RAIN. THIS IS NOT MUCH. THEN WE GO TOWARDS SAINT LUCIE COUNTY. WE GO, WE’RE GOOD RIGHT HERE. AS WE GO TOWARDS THE CIVIC CENTER IN FLORIDA, EVENT CENTER IN THAT AREA. BUT THEN AS WE GO IN TOWARDS THE WESTERN SIDE OF PORT SAINT LUCIE, BACK OUT TOWARDS PGA VERANO TRADITION, ALL LIGHT SHOWER ACTIVITY, ALL THE WAY UP TOWARDS ORANGE AVENUE, STATE ROAD 70 AT CORNER SAINT LUCIE. LONE SHOWER OUT TOWARDS THE OUTLETS IN INDIAN RIVER COUNTY. THE REST OF US ARE DRY, SO HOT HUMID WEATHER CONTINUES. PALM BEACHES WILL GET DOWN TO 80. THAT’S THE BEST WE’RE GOING TO DO IN THE MORNING. IT’S ABOUT FOUR DEGREES ABOVE THE AVERAGE. TREASURE COAST WILL GET DOWN TO 77. IT’S JUST A DEGREE ABOVE THE AVERAGE. SO WARM HUMID. IT IS JUST GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE THE SAME ACROSS THE AREA. LET’S TALK ABOUT THIS DUST. WE’VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT. WE WILL CONTINUE TO TALK ABOUT IT. THICK PLUME MOVING IN AS WE SPEAK. YOU’LL NOTICE IT REALLY TOMORROW YOU’RE WAKING UP. YOU MIGHT START TO SNEEZE A LITTLE BIT. THE THROATS CAN BE A LITTLE BIT SCRATCHY IF YOU HAVE THOSE ALLERGY PROBLEMS, YOU’RE ALSO GOING TO LOOK TO THE SKY AND BE LIKE, OH MY GOODNESS, IT’S SO HAZY OUT THERE. YEAH, THAT DUST IS WITH US ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND EVEN INTO NEXT WEEK. NOW IT IS GOING TO KEEP THE TROPICS VERY QUIET. THE GULF CARIBBEAN AND ALSO THE ATLANTIC BASIN ALL QUIET. BUT IT ALSO IS GOING TO HAVE OUR HEAT SORE BACK INTO THE MID 90S FOR THOSE AFTERNOON HIGHS. AND THOSE REAL-FEEL TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO AT LEAST HIT 105. SO HEAT ADVISORIES LIKELY TO BE ISSUED LATER ON THIS WEEK BECAUSE OF THE INCREASED HEAT. ALL RIGHT. SO HERE’S A LOOK AT THE FUTURE TRACK. SHOWERS ARE DONE FOR TONIGHT. TOMORROW FAIRLY DRY START FOR MOST. BUT WE DO HAVE A SEA BREEZE SHOWER TRYING TO DEVELOP THAT PRESSES INLAND. BUT NOTICE THE COVERAGE. IT’S NOT AS ACTIVE ON YOUR WEDNESDAY BECAUSE THAT DUST IS MOVING IN THURSDAY. EVEN DRIER DAY. IN FACT, LOOK AT THE FUTURE TRACK. REALLY NOT POINTING TOO MANY SHOWERS ACROSS THE BOARD. IN FACT, IT’S LIKE 10% HEAT. HUMIDITY AS HIGHS IN THE MID 90S IN THAT WEATHER TREND WILL TAKE US INTO THE WEEKEND. SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, BOATING FORECAST STILL LOOKS GREAT. WATCH OUT FOR SOME RIP CURRENTS OUT THERE WITH THE SOUTHEASTERLY BREEZE. TOMORROW 5 TO 10. HERE’S A LOOK AT MY FIRST WARNING SEVEN-DAY FORECAST AS WE GO THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. A LOT MORE SUNSHINE, A LOT MORE HEAT, LOWER RAIN CHANCES, LOWER THAN ABOUT 20%. IT’S GOING TO BE DRY. AND OVERNIGHTS ARE GOING TO BE VERY, VERY BALMY DOWN TO ABOUT 81. WE’LL GET UP TO 95 BOT
