Summertime Heat and Afternoon Storms

summertime heat

South Florida will see summertime heat and some afternoon storms on Saturday. The morning features some heavy passing showers in the Keys and early east coast showers on the ocean breeze. Breezy conditions will create a moderate risk of dangerous rip currents at the Atlantic beaches on Saturday and Sunday. Afternoon storms will develop on Saturday, but a strong east coast sea breeze will keep most of those storms well inland and over the Naples area. Saturday’s highs will be in the sweltering low 90s, but it will feel about 10 degrees hotter.

Faith Based Events

While the tropics are quiet, the area of disturbed weather that developed off Florida’s Big Bend last weekend continues to move westward and dump copious amounts of rain along the northern Gulf coast. It has brought flooding rains to Louisiana and parts of Mississippi, and more rain is expected on Saturday.
