Elevated Workweek Shower Chance w/ Cooler Temps AheadElevated Workweek Shower Chance w/ Cooler Temps Ahead. It feels like Déjà vu today, as weekend weather conditions have been persistent. The top headline along the coast continues to be the high rip current risk across our Atlantic Beaches. Throughout the day yesterday we had several beach rescues, so you need to be aware the flag conditions because it is highly discourged to enter the water. I’d say it’s a much better day to be poolside, especially for our inland communities. We’ll see near record highs this aftenron with temps in the mid and upper nineties. Heat advisories (Through 6:00 will expire before our evening shows) have been issued for Sumter and Polk counties where the head index will likely eclipse 110 degrees. Cooler tonight after a brief chance for showers. Look to bottom out in the upper seventies. Cooler weather returns Tuesday with highs in the upper eighties and lower nineties.14 hours ago

Near Record Setting Highs TomorrowHigh heat and Humidity are back at it again with heat index values expected to topple over 110 degrees in Sumter and Polk counties. A heat advisory will remain in effect throughout the rest of the afternoon (through 6:00), so remember to drink plenty of fluids and to take extra precautions if you are spending any time outdoors doing any strenuous activities. For those trying to beat the heat out at the beach keep in mind that High Rip Current Risks will be today’s top headline. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol and flag signs as rip currents will be dangerous through the weekend. There is a small chance for showers before sunset along I-75. Otherwise mostly clear skies will be back tonight with temps in the upper seventies overnight. Look to be even warmer tomorrow as highs will range between the mid and the upper nineties.1 day ago
