Major Heat/Humidity to Start the New Week

FORECAST:

Sunday (High 93, Low 72): Mostly sunny, hot and humid. Isolated showers and thunderstorms are possible.

Monday (High 95, Low 73): Mostly sunny, very hot and humid, with only isolated showers and thunderstorms possible. The combination of heat and humidity may reach dangerous levels.

Tuesday (High 97, Low 75): Mostly sunny, very hot and humid, with only isolated showers and thunderstorms possible. The combination of heat and humidity may reach dangerous levels.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK:

Wednesday (High 96, Low 75): Partly cloudy with a 30% chance of showers/thunderstorms.

Thursday (High 93, Low 74): Partly cloudy with a 40% chance of showers/thunderstorms.

Friday (High 92, Low 73): Partly cloudy with a 40% chance of showers/thunderstorms.

Saturday (High 90, Low 72): Partly cloudy with a 30% chance of showers/thunderstorms.

BEACH FORECAST:

Sunday (High 92, Low 76): Sunny. Hot and humid.

Monday (High 96, Low 77): Sunny.

Tuesday (High 96, Low 79): Partly cloudy with scattered showers and thunderstorms possible.

Rest of the Week (Highs near 90, Lows in the upper 70’s): Partly to mostly cloudy with a 40% chance of showers/thunderstorms. 

NOTES:

We are under a Heat Advisory tomorrow, and it looks like a rough week ahead with regard to the combination of heat/humidity.

This past week, we had a heat-related death in Alabama when a young child was left in a hot car. It was an extreme case, left in there for five hours, but even five minutes is too long. People should not do this at all. “Beat the heat! Check the back seat!”

Weatherbrains recently paid tribute to Gary England.

And Johnny Depp recently joined Alice Cooper to pay tribute to Ozzy Osbourne. Any storm chasers who never jam to that kind of music are missing out.

But back on a serious note, here is a guide to rip current safety for beachgoers.

DISCUSSION:

It's over on Substack

NOAA has an animated series (also known as a cartoon) to teach kids about weather and climate.

Weatherbrains did a great show recently about the flooding tragedy in Texas, which has claimed well over 100 lives with many people still missing.

Saturday will be the anniversary of Hurricane Danny from 1997.

On that note, while the tropics are quiet is the best time to make sure your hurricane safety plan is ready to go, if you live along or near the coast.

DISCUSSION:

Available on Substack.

This whole project is gradually moving there, but for now, keeping this alive in case need to cover any real-time weather events. The familiar is easier to get info out faster.
