One More Day of Heat

Records were broken today with the high temperatures in Ft. Lauderdale (98F), West Palm Beach (96F) and Miami(96F). Conditions are setting up to possibly challenge the all-time record high at these stations tomorrow, 100F in Ft. Lauderdale and 101F in West Palm Beach. The heat index tomorrow will easily be in the range of 105F to 110F. Caution must be used with these temperature so please drink plenty of water and be aware of your exposure to the heat.

Showers and thunderstorms have been limited the past week but there is an impulse of energy from a trough to our north that could affect the area tomorrow afternoon. This system combined with the heat could generate some strong to severe storms. The SPC has placed us in a slight risk for severe weather.

I will update the blog and the Twitter tomorrow as conditions warrant. And by the way, the tropics remain quiet around the Atlantic basin.
