Therefore, HE’S LIKE OF AUDIENCE UNDERNEATH THE BED AT NIGHT MID TO LATE AFTERNOON IS GOING TO BE THE MAIN TIME FRAME FOR STORMS TODAY. Moreover, WHICH IS WHEN YOU WOULD TYPICALLY EXPECTED DURING THE RAINY SEASON. Nevertheless, BUT A FEW OF THE scattered storms across area could STORMS. In addition, THAT’S WHY WE HAVE A GULF COAST WEATHER IMPACT. Furthermore, THEY JUST GIVE YOU THAT HEADS UP. Furthermore, YOU KNOW. Additionally, Furthermore, YOU HAVE YOUR MORE TYPICAL SUMMER DAYS WHEN YOU DON’T REALLY GET A LOT OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS AND THEN YOU HAVE DAYS LIKE THIS WERE A FEW CELLS COULD APPROACH SEVERE LIMITS. Consequently, ALL RIGHT. However, SO IN TERMS OF THE IMPACTS TODAY, HEAVY RAIN, LIGHTNING. Meanwhile, WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT THAT. Meanwhile, THAT’S IN THE HIGH CATEGORY AND THE STRONG WIND THREAT. Furthermore, Meanwhile, I’VE GOT THAT IN THE MEDIUM IMPACT. Nevertheless, AND THAT’S BECAUSE A FEW THE CELLS THAT DO DEVELOP JUST BECAUSE OF THE WAY THAT THE ATMOSPHERE SET. Nevertheless, UP TODAY. Meanwhile, >> WITH MORE INSTABILITY, THEY COULD PRODUCE WIND GUSTS UP ABOVE 50 MILES PER HOUR. Meanwhile, WE’RE NOT ALL GOING TO SEE THAT. Similarly, THAT’S JUST scattered storms across area could GOING TO BE A FEW ISOLATED STORMS THAT DO BECOME STRONG TO SEVERE AND THEN I’VE GOT. For example, THE HAIL THREAT ON THE LOWER END. Similarly, BUT A FEW CELLS COULD ALSO PRODUCE AT LEAST SOME PEACE SIZE HAIL. Moreover, SO BE KEEPING AN EYE ON THAT AS WE GO THROUGHOUT THE DAY WITH THE GULF COAST. Similarly, LIVE RADAR AND KIND OF TIMING THINGS OUT FOR YOU WITH YOUR HOUR BY HOUR FORECAST FOR YOUR FRIDAY JUNIOR ALMOST THROUGH THE WEEKEND. RIGHT NOW. IT’S QUIET. NICE STARRY SKY. JUST A FEW CLOUDS. 09:00AM 78 AND SUNNY AND THEN WILL HEAT UP BACK INTO THE LOWER 90 SUNDAY. AND THAT IS THAT TIME AROUND. 3 O’CLOCK. AND THEN IN TERMS OF THE GREATEST IMPACT WITH A FEW OF THOSE STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS CLOSER TO 4, 5, AND 6 O’CLOCK. AND THAT’S WHY WE HAVE THAT GULF COAST WEATHER IMPACT DAY. scattered storms across area could SO SOME STORMS FARM AFTER 2 O’CLOCK MORE WIDESPREAD IN TERMS OF THE COVERAGE CLOSER TO 4, 5, AND 6 O’CLOCK. THIS AT A HIGH OF 92 DEGREES TODAY. AND SUNRISE THIS MORNING AT 6.36, JUST UPDATED YOUR LATEST GULF COAST. FUTURECAST KIND OF MAP OUT AND PAINT THE PICTURE IN TERMS OF HOW TODAY’S GOING TO PLAY OUT. KNOW A LOT OF US STAY DRY YESTERDAY AS THE STORMS WERE NOT QUITE AS WIDESPREAD IN COVERAGE. BUT WE DID HAVE SOME PRETTY GOOD SOAKERS AND STORMS FOR SOME OF US. AND TODAY WILL KEEP RAIN CHANCES. A 60%, 4 O’CLOCK. YOU CAN SEE MOST OF THE ACTION ALONG EAST OF THE INTERSTATE. BUT OUR WINDS PUSH FROM EAST TO WEST TODAY. SO THAT MEANS CHARLOTTE LEE, COLLIER COUNTY. WE’RE ALL FAIR GAME FOR RAIN. AND THEN BY THE EVENING, THE STORMS START TO WIND DOWN HERE AND THEN PUSH scattered storms across area could OFF INTO THE GULF WATERS.

THERE’S A CHANCE FOR A FEW POCKETS OF RAIN TO POP UP ALONG THE COAST, EVEN THOUGH YOU DON’T SEE THAT WITH OUR LATEST FUTURE CAST. AND THEN MIDDAY AFTERNOON, THE STORMS THAT DO FORM WILL START TO MIGRATE INLAND OUT CLOSER TO PALMDALE. LAKE OKEECHOBEE LABELLE.

WHICH BODES WELL IF YOU HAVE ANY WEEKEND SPEAKING OF THE WEEKEND, HERE’S SOMETHING WILL BE PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION TO AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW SATURDAY AND ALSO INTO SUNDAY. WE’VE GOT THIS PLUME OF SAHARAN DUST AND FAIRLY MODERATE TO MEDIUM CONCENTRATIONS. WE’LL BE ON THE NORTHERN EXTENT OF THAT. I DON’T THINK IT’S GOING TO BE QUITE ENOUGH TO US TO REALLY LOWER RAIN CHANCES DRAMATICALLY IMPACT BOTH. SATURDAY AND SUNDAY GOT RAIN COVERAGE AROUND 60%. SO WE’LL HAVE STILL HAVE SOME DOWNPOURS TO DODGE AND SOME THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AFTERNOON DRY, SUNNY MORNINGS. AND AS YOU WOULD EXPECT. HEATING UP INTO THE MID 90’S THROUGH SUNDAY AND THE FINAL DAY OF JUNE ON MONDAY AND STILL PRETTY UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN HEADING INTO NEXT WEEK WITH PLENTY OF scattered storms across area could TROPICAL MOISTURE. BUT GOOD NEWS IS NOTHING BREWING IN THE TROPICS. NOTHING EXPECT
