SCOTT, ROBERT SCHIMMEL GULF COAST NEWS. >> GULF COAST WEATHER CERTIFIED MOST ACCURATE. WE LIKE NEVER GET TO SEE OUR SPORTS TEAM BECAUSE THEY’RE ALWAYS LIKE WORKING NIGHTS. BUT THEY WERE HERE IN MORNING WHEN WE CAME. AND BRAD, LOUISA I GUESS WHAT A NIGHT IN THE GOOSE BUMPS. I KNOW IT’S NOT COLD OUTSIDE A LOT AND THAT THOSE FANS DEDICATED TO 9, SOME DON’T EXPECT TO SEE THEM AT WORK TODAY. YEAH. FULL SAID WE DO TO TALK ABOUT GAME NIGHT. IT HAPPENED. LOSS THAT THEY ALL RIGHT. WELL, IT IS ALL ABOUT THE HEAT TODAY. SO WE’RE NOT GOING TO SEE ANY RELIEF ANYTIME SOON. FEELING LIKE THE TRIPLE DIGITS TODAY. >> BUT GETTING EVEN HOTTER TOWARD THE END OF THE WORKWEEK. SO THURSDAY, FRIDAY, THOSE ARE THE DAYS. >> WHERE IF ANY, WE COULD SEE HEAT ALERTS ISSUED. WE’RE GOING TO JUST SHY OF THE CRITERIA AS WE KNEEL NEAR FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURES AT ABOUT 100 AND TEND TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK. NOW TODAY STILL FEELING ANYWHERE FROM 100 TO 105. SO IT IS STILL GOING TO BE ALL ABOUT THE HEAT, HIGH HUMIDITY. THERE ARE NO HEAT ADVISORIES FOR US. PLACES LIKE FORT LAUDERDALE. UNDER THE HEAT ALERTS TODAY. BUT FOR US, WE DON’T QUITE MEET THE CRITERIA. STILL TAKE IT SERIOUSLY HAS NOT ONLY IS IT GOING TO BE HOT AS YOU WOULD TYPICALLY EXPECT IN JUNE, BUT WE REALLY DON’T HAVE OUR TYPICAL RAINY SEASON PATTERN IN PLACE. SO HERE’S 2 O’CLOCK USUALLY WOULD AT LEAST BE SEEING A COUPLE SHOWERS. AND WHILE A STRAY SHOWERS POSSIBLE MAINLY INLAND AND HENDRY OR GLADES MOST OF THE GULF COAST WILL STAY DRY TODAY. WE HAVE BEEN UNUSUALLY DRIER AIR MASS IN THE MID TO UPPER LEVELS. SO REALLY SHUTTING DOWN RAIN CHANCES FOR MANY TODAY HEADING INTO TOMORROW AS WELL. SO ALL ABOUT TEMPERATURES TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY IN THE LOW 90’S AND THEN EVEN HOTTER MID-NINETIES THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, BUT ALSO FEELING EVEN HOTTER AS WELL FEELING JUST SHY OF 110 POTENTIALLY SEEING HEAT ADVISORIES FOR ESPECIALLY FRIDAY AND THEN INTO THE WEEKEND, FIND WAYS TO BEAT THE HEAT. WE ARE SEEING THE 90’S GOING AWAY ANYTIME SOON, BUT AT LEAST FOR THE 2ND HALF OF THE WEEK, WE’LL HAVE MORE SCATTERED STORMS TO HELP RELIEVE SOME COMMUNITIES. KNOW THE SIGNS OF HEAT EXHAUSTION, ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE GONNA BE OUTSIDE FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY. STAY IS A GOOD IDEA TO DRINK MORE WATER THAN YOU THINK YOU NEED THIS TIME OF YEAR. AND OF COURSE, IF YOU’RE RUNNING ERRANDS, THINGS LIKE THAT, NEVER LEAVE PETS OR CHILDREN UNATTENDED INSIDE A CAR. NOW TOMORROW, ANOTHER HOT DAY LOW TO MID 90’S. FEELING THE HEAT ALL OVER AGAIN. RAIN CHANCES ONCE AGAIN, VERY SLIM. SO WE’LL START OFF THE DAY TOMORROW WITH NO RAIN. COUPLE OF SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE AGAIN, MAINLY EAST OF I-75. THIS IS BECAUSE WE HAVE AN ONSHORE WIND AGAIN. BUT THIS ISN’T GOING TO HELP US OUT NEAR THE COAST AT ALSO STILL DRIVING IN MORE OF THAT REALLY HIGH HIGH HUMIDITY AT THE SURFACE IS GOING TO FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE, ESPECIALLY TOWARD THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. NOW, THE BOTTOM LINE IS WE WILL FINALLY START TO SEE A LITTLE BIT MORE RAIN TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK. SO THAT WILL HELP SOME COMMUNITIES BACK OUT. BUT THERE WILL STILL BE MANY POCKETS ALONG THE GULF COAST THAT STAY DRY. AND YOU ARE JUST STUCK DEALING WITH THE 90’S WITH NO SIGNIFICANT RELIEF FROM THE HEAT. ABSOLUTELY. ANYTIME. SOON. I ALSO STAYING ON TOP OF THE TROPICS THIS MORNING, HOW SOME MORE ANALYSIS ON WHAT COULD END BEING A SHORT-LIVED. A TROPICAL STORM LATER ON TODAY IN THE NORTHWEST GULF POSIN
