High heat risk in South Florida Saturday<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMONITORED. MICHELLE FRANZEN, ABC NEWS, NEW YORK. WELL, TODAY IS GOING TO BE ANOTHER HOT ONE HERE IN SOUTH FLORIDA WITH TEMPERATURES CLIMBING INTO THE LOW TO MID 90S CALLING FOR 97 IN WELLINGTON THIS AFTERNOON, 93 IN JUPITER, 96 IN INDIANTOWN AND 92 FOR FORT PIERCE. BUT ONCE YOU FACTOR IN THE HUMIDITY, IT\u2019S GOING IT\u2019S GOING TO BE FEELING A LOT WARMER THAN WHAT THE THERMOMETER IS READING. MORE LIKE THE UPPER 90S AND HUNDREDS. SO DRINK A LOT OF WATER AND TRY NOT TO SPEND TOO MUCH TIME OUTDOORS DURING THOSE PEAK HEATING HOURS, BECAUSE WITH THAT HEAT AND HUMIDITY IN PLACE, WE DO HAVE A HIGH RISK, A MAJOR RISK OF HEAT ILLNESS ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COASTLINE AND REALLY THROUGH THE MAJORITY OF OUR INLAND COMMUNITIES AS WELL. BECAUSE OF THAT HEAT, YOU COULD BE DEALING WITH HEAT ILLNESS FOR TODAY. IF YOU\u2019RE EVER FEELING A BIT DIZZY, YOU HAVE CLAMMY SKIN. YOU COULD BE DEALING WITH HEAT EXHAUSTION, GET INTO A COOL AIR CONDITIONED PLACE, DRINK COOL WATER. BUT IF YOU HAVE A THROBBING HEADACHE AND YOU FEEL LIKE YOU\u2019RE GOING TO PASS OUT, THAT COULD BE A HEAT STROKE AND YOU WANT TO CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY, BUT YOU CAN AVOID ALL THAT ALTOGETHER BY DRINKING A LOT OF WATER, SEEKING SHADE, OR AN AIR CONDITIONED PLACE, ESPECIALLY AS WE HEAD INTO THOSE PEAK HEATING HOURS, BECAUSE I KNOW EVERYBODY\u2019S GOING TO WANT TO GET OUTSIDE TODAY BECAUSE WE\u2019RE IN FOR SOME REALLY NICE WEATHER. ONCE AGAIN, 78 THIS MORNING IN WEST PALM BEACH, 77 IN BOYNTON BEACH, 77 TO START YOUR DAY IN STUART, 75 IN PALM CITY. WE\u2019RE AT 75 IN TRADITION, 74 IN LAKEWOOD PARK, CURRENTLY AT 73 DEGREES IN GIFFORD, 75 IN FELLSMERE AND 73 DEGREES RIGHT NOW IN FORT DRUM, AS WELL AS IN OKEECHOBEE. NOW, AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR DAY AGAIN, IT IS GOING TO BE A HOT ONE IF YOU\u2019RE HEADING OUT TO THE GOLF COURSE FOR TODAY. PLENTY OF SUNSHINE UV LEVELS WILL BE IN THAT VERY HIGH RANGE, SO YOU CAN GET A SUNBURN VERY EASILY. HAVE THAT SUNSCREEN ON. AND AGAIN, JUST STAY HYDRATED OUT THERE. IT IS GOING TO BE STEAMY OUT THERE. NOW FOR TODAY, MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS, BUT WE DO HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR A FEW SHOWERS AS WE HEAD INTO THE EVENING. AROUND THE 6:00 HOUR, WE WILL SEE SOME SHOWERS MOVING IN FROM THE WEST AND PUSHING TOWARDS THE COASTLINE AS WE HEAD INTO THE LATE EVENING, SO MOST OF US WON\u2019T BE SEEING ANY RAINFALL FOR TODAY, BUT WE WILL HAVE SOME SPOTTY SHOWERS AS WE HEAD INTO TONIGHT. AND AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR FIRST WARNING WEATHER SEVEN-DAY FORECAST, YOU WILL NOTICE ON MOTHER\u2019S DAY WE DO HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS AND EVEN SOME THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING ACROSS THE AREA. AND I THINK FOR THE MOST PART, ONCE AGAIN, IT IS GOING TO BE PREDOMINANTLY AS WE HEAD INTO THOSE EVENING HOURS WITH THOSE SHOWERS AND STORMS, FOR THE MOST PART, MOVING IN FROM THE WEST AND THEN PUSHING TOWARDS THE COASTLINE. SO WE DO HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME MORE RAINFALL, EVEN AS WE HEAD INTO TUESDAY. AND YOU WILL NOTICE IMPACT WEATHER FOR TUESDAY, BECAUSE THAT COVERAGE IS GOING TO BE SITTING AT AT LEAST 50% ACROSS OUR AREA. AND WE COULD REALLY USE THAT RAINFALL BECAUSE WE\u2019RE STILL DEALING WITH THAT DROUGHT HERE IN SOUTH FLORIDA. AND IT\u2019S ALL BEING PROMPTED BY A COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH. BUT LET\u2019S GET BACK TO THAT SEVEN DAY FORECAST. YOU WILL NOTICE THAT FRONT REALLY NOT GOING TO BE DOING MUCH FOR TEMPERATURES AS TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN WELL ABOVE SEASONAL. EVEN AFTER THAT FRO\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
