Dry air, heavy rain and Saharan Dust in South Florida
AND THAT SMOKE TRAVELS A LONG DISTANCE. LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT’S GOING ON HERE AS WE CHECK OUT JENSEN BEACH. GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE. WE TAKE A QUICK LOOK. THE WATER LOOKS GORGEOUS HERE. ALL THOSE GREENS AND BLUES IN THERE. THERE IS A HIGH RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS TODAY. WAVE HEIGHTS ARE ABOUT 2 TO 3FT. LOOK AT TEMPERATURES RIGHT NOW. WE’VE GOT UPPER 80S AND LOW 90S ACROSS THE AREA. BUT IT FEELS MUCH HOTTER THAN THAT. LET’S SCOOT AROUND THE AREA. I’LL SHOW YOU 101 DEGREES THE WAY IT FEELS IN SEBASTIAN. 102 VERO 104. IN PORT SAINT LUCIE AND HOBE SOUND, 93 AND OKEECHOBEE. BUT THERE WAS JUST A SHOWER THERE TO COOL THINGS DOWN A LITTLE BIT. BELLE GLADE FEELING LIKE 103 DEGREES, FEELING LIKE 104 IN BOCA AND WEST PALM BEACH, RIGHT NOW FEELS LIKE 106 DEGREES. THAT’S THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY COMBINED. THERE ARE A FEW SHOWERS AROUND. THE AIR IS A LITTLE TOO DRY TO SUPPORT A LOT OF RAINFALL, BUT WE WILL SEE ISOLATED RAINFALL OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. BELLE GLADE WITH A FEW SHOWERS SWEEPING ON HERE. WE LOOK LIKE WE HAVE A LITTLE SHOWER TRYING TO COME IN AROUND BOYNTON BEACH. THERE. COUPLE OF SHOWERS OFFSHORE OF THE TREASURE COAST. THIS IS WHERE WE’RE SEEING SOME OF THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL RIGHT NOW THOUGH. JUST SOUTH OF PAHOKEE HEADING UP TOWARD PAHOKEE, SOUTH BAY AND BELLE GLADE, AND ALSO THERE ARE A COUPLE SHOWERS AROUND FORT DRUM AND OKEECHOBEE COUNTY, AND A FEW MORE TRYING TO MOVE IN ALONG THE COAST IN INDIAN RIVER COUNTY. THAT RAIN CHANCE, THOUGH TYPICALLY 40% FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR, IS DOWN TO 20% FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. AS DRIER AIR CONTINUES TO MOVE IN. WHAT I’M GOING TO DO HERE IS I’M GOING TO COMBINE THE RAINFALL WITH SAHARAN DUST AND DRY AIR, SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT’S GOING ON. SO RIGHT NOW YOU SEE THERE’S SOME DUST UP TO OUR NORTHEAST OVER TO OUR WEST HERE, AND SOME DRIER AIR FILTERING IN. SO THAT’S HOLDING OUR RAIN CHANCES AT 20%. WE’RE GOING TO SEE MORE SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS MOVE INLAND AND OVER TO THE WEST COAST LATER ON. TODAY. AGAIN TOMORROW, A FEW COASTAL SHOWERS POSSIBLE IN THE MORNING AND THEN A HIGHER CHANCE FOR RAIN FARTHER INLAND IN THE AFTERNOON AND FRIDAY WILL BE A REPEAT PERFORMANCE OF THAT. BUT LOOK DOWN HERE. YOU SEE THE BROWN IN THE BACKGROUND HERE. THAT’S THE HAIR. AND DUST STARTING TO CREEP IN. THERE’S A LITTLE BREAK FROM IT AHEAD OF TIME THAT ALLOWS RAIN CHANCES TO GO UP ON SATURDAY, WITH OUR HIGHEST RAIN CHANCES ON SUNDAY AT ABOUT 50%. AFTER THAT, THE DUST CONTINUES TO MOVE IN AND THE RAIN CHANCES CONTINUE TO DECREASE FOR THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK. SO WE GO 20%, 20%, 20%, 40% AS WE GET INTO THE WEEKEND IN THE TROPICS, RIGHT NOW, I’M HAPPY TO REPORT NO SIGNS OF ANYTHING DEVELOPING. WE’LL KEEP OUR EYES ON THE CARIBBEAN A COUPLE WEEKS FROM NOW. A FEW COMPUTER MODELS HINTING THAT SOMETHING COULD TRY TO DEVELOP OUT THERE. HERE’S A QUICK LOOK AT THE BEACH AND BOATING FORECAST VERY HOT TODAY. HIGH RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS ALONG AREA BEACHES. TEMPERATURES LOW 90S. THE HEAT INDEX IN THE LOW ONE HUNDREDS TODAY A VERY SIMILAR FORECAST FOR TOMORROW AND FOR FRIDAY. BUT OVER THE WEEKEND TEMPERATURES GO UP AND SO DO RAIN CHANCES. 40% CHANCE FOR RAIN ON SATURDAY
