Warming up in South Florida

Warming up in South Florida

PEOPLE AT THIS TIME. STILL, OF COURSE, THE DAMAGE IS BEING ASSESSED. THAT IS A LOT OF WATER AND VERY LITTLE TIME, AND THAT’S JUST DEVASTATING TO SEE. VERY DIFFERENT STORY HERE IN OUR AREA THOUGH. YEAH, I MEAN, IT IS HORRIBLE TO SEE. AND FOR US HERE IN SOUTH FLORIDA, WE ARE IN A DROUGHT. WE NEED SOME RAINFALL. WE DID SEE SOME RAINFALL THROUGHOUT THIS WEEK, BUT IT DID NOT PUT A DENT IN OUR DROUGHT CONDITIONS. WHICH GOES TO SHOW YOU JUST HOW FAR BEHIND WE ARE ON OUR YEARLY RAINFALL DEFICITS. BUT SOMETHING I DO WANT TO SHOW YOU FOR TODAY, IT’S GOING TO BE ANOTHER DAY WITH POTENTIAL RECORD BREAKING HEAT OUT. WEST LOS ANGELES GOING TO BE BACKING OFF A BIT. LUCKILY, AS LOS ANGELES, LAS VEGAS AS WELL AS PHOENIX BROKE RECORDS YESTERDAY. AND REMEMBER, TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE IN THE 70S THROUGH THAT AREA FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR, ALL THANKS TO THAT AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE THAT HAS BEEN LEADING TO THAT ABNORMAL MARCH HEAT. BUT FOR US HERE IN SOUTH FLORIDA YESTERDAY, WE HAD TEMPERATURES RIGHT ON SEASONAL. AND TODAY WE CAN EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO BE SITTING RIGHT ON SEASONAL AS WELL AS MOST OF US WILL BE BREAKING INTO THE UPPER 70S AND LOW 80S ON THIS SATURDAY AFTERNOON. AND IT IS GOING TO BE A GORGEOUS AFTERNOON TO GET OUTSIDE. WE WILL BE SEEING PLENTY OF SUNSHINE IN THE FORECAST, A VERY DIFFERENT PICTURE COMPARED TO HOW WE STARTED THE WEEK OFF. CHECK IN WITH RADAR. YOU WILL NOTICE A COUPLE OF VERY LIGHT SPRINKLES OFFSHORE LOOKING AT DRY CONDITIONS THROUGH THE ENTIRETY OF THE DAY. MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES ACROSS THE PALM BEACHES. TEMPERATURES AGAIN GOING TO BE SITTING RIGHT ON. SEASONAL UV LEVELS WILL BE IN THAT VERY HIGH RANGE. SO KEEP THAT IN MIND WHEN YOU’RE PLANNING OUT YOUR DAY. IF YOU DO WANT TO HEAD OUT TO THE BEACH FOR TODAY, WE DO HAVE ANOTHER HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS. SO IT’S NOT GOING TO BE A DAY FOR A SWIM. SINGLE RED FLAGS ARE FLYING OUT THERE, SO JUST HANG OUT ON OUR SANDY SHORES AND ENJOY THAT SUNSHINE THAT WE’RE FINALLY GETTING HERE. NOW A LOOK AT YOUR FIRST WARNING WEATHER SEVEN DAY FORECAST. YOU WILL NOTICE THE SUNSHINE IS GOING TO BE HANGING AROUND AGAIN FOR OUR SUNDAY. WE’RE IN FOR SOME REALLY BEAUTIFUL WEATHER OUT THERE, BUT I DO WANT TO SHOW YOU TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO BE HEATING UP. AND AS WE’RE TALKING ABOUT OUT WEST, WE HAVE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN WELL, AT THE SURFACE, WE HAVE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN TO US HERE IN SOUTH FLORIDA. AND THAT HIGH PRESSURE CREATES SINKING MOTION IN THE ATMOSPHERE. AS THAT AIR SINKS, IT COMPRESSES. AND THAT LEADS TO SOME WARMER TEMPERATURES AT THE SURFACE. IT ALSO SUPPRESSES ANY SHOWERS AND STORMS FROM BUBBLING UP BECAUSE YOU NEED THE OPPOSITE. YOU NEED RISING MOTION FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. AND THAT’S WHAT’S GOING TO KEEP US WARM AND DRY FOR SATURDAY, SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY, AND THEN COME WEDNESDAY, YOU WILL NOTICE A BIT MORE CLOUD COVER AND YOU WILL NOTICE SOME VERY LOW END RAINFALL CHANCES. RETURN TO THE FORECAST AGAIN ON THURSDAY AS WELL. AND THAT’S BECAUSE WE HAVE OUR NEXT COLD FRONT THAT’S GOING TO BE PUSHING THROUGH. IT’S GOING TO LEAD TO SOME VERY LIMITED RAINFALL. BUT NOTICE IT’S NOT GOING TO BE PACKING A PUNCH AS TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN IN THE 80S. EVEN AFTER THAT FRONT SLIDES THROUGH. AND THEN WE W
