Temperatures across Central Florida will climb back to near 90 amid an unusually hot and humid day while rain chances remain above normal Friday, according to the National Weather Service in Melbourne.<\/p>\n
Florida\u2019s summer that didn\u2019t quite go away continues to feature warm, humid days through Sunday with\u00a0peak heat index values going back above 100-105 degrees.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt`s going to stay very humid. With more sunshine on the way today, the heat and humidity will make their presence felt,\u201d forecasters said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the rainy week could continue with scattered to numerous showers and storms forecast through the weekend with each day having a 50% to 70% chance for precipitation across the region, with higher chances in the afternoon and early evening.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe stubborn front that has focused rounds of showers and storms will finally lift north of the area,\u201d forecasters said.<\/p>\n
Rain chances remain above normal for this time of year.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe strongest storms will be capable of producing gusty winds of 40-50 mph and occasional lightning,\u201d the NWS stated. \u201cLocations that see repeated storms may experience localized flooding.\u201d<\/p>\n
The rain does have an end in sight. With Hurricane Isaias in the Gulf moving north after a project landfall tonight, drier air is forecast for Central Florida beginning Monday.<\/p>\n
Also of note, Central Florida\u2019s beaches in Brevard and Volusia also feature a high risk of life-threatening rip currents on Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Temperatures across Central Florida will climb back to near 90 amid an unusually hot and humid day while…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":423180,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[28,30,29,114,266,115,109,221],"class_list":["post-423179","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-florida","tag-florida","tag-florida-headlines","tag-florida-news","tag-latest-headlines","tag-local-news","tag-news","tag-social","tag-weather"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/423179","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=423179"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/423179\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/423180"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=423179"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=423179"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=423179"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
