Glad Thursday, South Florida!
Hopefully everybody has loved the week to this point regardless of the climbing temperatures and the heat that we noticed return on Wednesday afternoon. Yesterday our excessive temperatures reached into the mid 80s (as anticipated), however then a entrance got here via the realm and helped wipe away that heat and that moisture from South Florida. And this morning it was evident that the entrance was transferring away from our space as just a few showers had been nonetheless lingering throughout the Bahamas whereas South Florida and surrounding coastal waters appeared dry and felt nice!
Despite the fact that a entrance got here via South Florida, as we speak is not going to be a cold day because the cool air related to this entrance lags behind. What we’ll really feel is very nice humidity ranges and milder temperatures which are nearer to what’s typical this time of 12 months within the mid to higher 70s this afternoon. With the wind out of the northwest and far drier air transferring in, we will likely be bone dry throughout South Florida all through the day. One factor price mentioning is that with dropping humidity ranges and gusty Northwest winds, circumstances will favor straightforward growth of brush fires. This is the reason a Brush Hearth Watch has been issued for South Florida for as we speak.
Trying forward, the cooler air lastly arrives late tonight and can assist drop our temperatures down as we work our approach into Friday morning. It seems to be like all of our mainland areas will as soon as once more drop into the 50s by Friday morning with some western suburbs presumably dropping into the 40s whereas the Florida Keys benefit from the mid to low 60s (and a few higher 50s). Temperatures by Friday afternoon will likely be again to typical within the higher 70s as our wind sample begins to veer off the water as soon as once more by the tip of the day. Sadly this week’s cool shot will likely be temporary as our wind sample shortly veers out of the south once more this weekend forward of one other potential entrance. This can trigger our excessive temperatures this weekend to as soon as once more heat into the mid 80s on Saturday and presumably the higher 80s on Sunday! And whereas Saturday ought to nonetheless be considerably tolerable, Sunday will really feel much more humid and a few areas could also be flirting with report excessive temperatures. The excellent news is {that a} entrance will lastly transfer via the area Sunday into Monday and convey some aid from this weekend’s warmth!
Extra on the upcoming weekend, Daylight Saving Time begins Sunday at 2 AM which suggests we do have a time change occurring this weekend. So earlier than you go to mattress Saturday evening, make sure to flip your clocks forward one hour (for people who don’t robotically change) as we ‘Spring Ahead’. Meaning we lose an hour of sleep from Saturday into Sunday, however a minimum of now our days will really feel longer resulting from extra daylight time.
Have a beautiful day!
