Dangerous heat continues in South Florida Sunday
Heat indices will range from 105 to 109 this afternoon.
WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT FOR TODAY? WELL, AS OF RIGHT NOW, WE DON’T HAVE A HEAT ADVISORY IN PLACE. IT’S SOMETHING I WILL BE KEEPING MY EYE ON, BUT IT IS STILL GOING TO BE DANGEROUSLY HOT AND WE CAN’T LET OUR GUARDS DOWN BECAUSE FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO BE WELL INTO THE HUNDREDS. AND TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE HIGH TEMPERATURES GOING TO BE BREAKING INTO THE MID TO UPPER 90S. WE SHOULD BE CLOSER TO 90 FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR, AND WE’RE GOING TO BE JUST A COUPLE DEGREES SHY OF TYING SOME DAILY RECORDS FOR TODAY. BUT HERE’S A LOOK AT THOSE. FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURES AROUND 3:00 THIS AFTERNOON. SO THROUGH OUR PEAK HEATING, WE’RE STILL GOING TO BE SITTING CLOSE TO ONE ZERO 5 TO 1 ZERO NINE. SO IT IS GOING TO BE ANOTHER STEAMY DAY FOR US. DRINK PLENTY OF WATER, WEAR LIGHT, COMFORTABLE CLOTHES, AVOID PROLONGED PERIODS OF TIME OUTDOORS, PARTICULARLY AROUND TWO, THREE, 4:00 AND MAKE SURE YOUR PETS ARE STAYING COOL AS WELL. YOU WILL NOTICE THOSE TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN ON THE HOT SIDE. AND FOR OUR MONDAY. IF YOU WERE HOPING THAT MAYBE THE HUMIDITY WENT DOWN, WELL, THAT’S NOT GOING TO BE THE CASE. FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN WELL INTO THE HUNDREDS. SO OVER THE NEXT WEEK, DRINK PLENTY OF WATER. YOU’RE GOING TO NEED IT OVER THE COMING DAYS AS THIS HOT WEATHER IS GOING TO BE HANGING AROUND RIGHT NOW. UPPER 70S AND LOW 80S. WE’RE AT 80 DEGREES IN FORT PIERCE, 80 FOR JUPITER FARMS AND 82 IN BOYNTON BEACH. AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE SAHARAN DUST, YOU CAN SEE IT’S JUST OFF SHORE THAT A BIG PLUME OF IT. WE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK FROM A HEAVY SAHARAN DUST. WE STILL HAD SOME IN PLACE YESTERDAY, BUT A HEAVY PLUME IS GOING TO BE STRETCHING ACROSS OUR SKIES FOR TODAY AND OVER THE COMING DAYS. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT HERE, HOW IT IS IS GOING TO BE IMPACTING OUR RAINFALL CHANCES, BECAUSE THIS REALLY JUST DRIES OUT THE ATMOSPHERE. NOW, THIS PARTICULAR MODEL A LITTLE BIT MORE ROBUST THAN I THINK IS GOING TO HAPPEN. I THINK WE HAVE ABOUT 20% COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AS WE HEAD INTO THOSE PEAK HEATING HOURS. SO MOST OF US WON’T BE SEEING A DROP OF RAINFALL FOR TODAY. BUT IF YOU DO WANT TO GET, MAKE SURE YOU DO IT EARLY BECAUSE YOU’LL WANT TO AVOID THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY. SO ABOUT 10:00 OR EARLIER, I THINK IS GOING TO BE THE BEST TIME TO GET OUTSIDE OR WAIT UNTIL AFTER THE SUN SETS AND THOSE TEMPERATURES REALLY BEGIN TO DROP OFF, BECAUSE AGAIN, IT IS GOING TO BE DANGEROUSLY HOT ACROSS OUR AREA. AND IF YOU DO HAVE TO DO ANY OUTDOOR WORK FOR TODAY, JUST MAKE SURE YOU’RE TAKING FREQUENT BREAKS AWAY FROM THE SUN INTO A SHADED OR AN AIR CONDITIONED AREA, BECAUSE THIS COUL
