We\u2019ve been on an upward trend since Monday (when we had more clouds and areas of rain).   On Wednesday afternoon, the Ft. Lauderdale sky looked beautiful with only some thin, high cirrus clouds over us. <\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Blog-1-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1702821\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Another notable change is the lack of ANY activity on the radar.  We\u2019re now very dry.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Blog-2-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1702822\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">At the heart of our drying and heating?  A substantial ridge (or bubble) of High Pressure is building from the west.  Notice, below, the deep drying across the Gulf region, extending from the Yucatan towards Cuba.  South Florida is now on the western periphery of this High Pressure aloft and it\u2019s the \u201cearly innings\u201d of a hot weather streak.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Blog-3-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1702823\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Here\u2019s another view, below, of the plotted High Dome that centers close to south Florida on Friday.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Blog-4-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1702824\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Even before we get close to the weekend, we\u2019ll be dealing with near-record temperatures (starting Thursday).  The best chance of reaching record highs, potentially, will be Miami and Key West.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/7.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1702825\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The goal over the next several days is to try and stay as cool as possible during peak heating times.  With humidity elevating, too, the \u201cfeels like\u201d temperatures (heat index values) will be near triple digits.  The peak will probably come during the upcoming weekend so it will be important to see that all the \u201cMom\u2019s\u201d are as comfortable as possible this Mother\u2019s Day weekend!  Here\u2019s the latest forecast for the holiday, Sunday (shown below).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/6_214916.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1702827\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 Sunbeam Television Corp.
