Extreme Heat Ahead this Sunday

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 10:01:59 GMT

It sure is a very hot weekend following highs up to 97F in Miami and 98F in Marathon on Saturday, and Sunday could be even hotter.It’s all thanks to a continuation of a land breeze out of the southwest, which allows the air to heat up rapidly as it gets steered toward the east coast metro, while skies will be mostly sunny and filled with a layer of Saharan dust.As a result, Heat Advisories are posted for all of South Florida through this evening for feels-like temperatures up to 110F across the mainland and 112F across the Florida Keys.Aside from record heat being possible — if not likely — in both Miami and Marathon again today, Miami has a shot at reaching 98F, which is our forecast high. Most years never reach a temperature that high and the record for most days with a high of at least 98F is 2 days, which happened in back-to-back years of 2019 and 2020!The heat will remain relentless into our Monday and Tuesday, too, with highs remaining in the mid to upper 90s...

Summer Sun & Heat

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 10:01:59 GMT

After a gorgeous day yesterday, we’ll do it again today! This really is our first full nice weekend since Memorial Day, so we’re due for this. Sunshine will be out in full force today with temperatures climbing to the 80s. There’s not much wind, so not enough to hold off the sea breeze. It’s not a straight push of east wind so it’ll take time for the onshore wind to kick in. If you’re on the coast you’ll probably make a quick jump to the low 80s then settle back to the 70s once the sea breeze sets in later today.Yesterday was a great beach day and today will be a repeat of it. South of Cape Ann, water temperatures are really making some nice ground, especially in Buzzard’s Bay and Nantucket Sound where buoys are reporting water temperatures well into the 70s! Rip current risk is low today and waves are only about 2-3 feet. Enjoy!Tomorrow will be another summer gem! Sun is back to kick off the work week and temperatures will be a few de...

NEW YORK (AP) — Elon Musk said Sunday that he plans to change the logo of Twitter to an “X” from the bird, marking what would be the latest big change since he bought the social media platform for $44 billion last year.In a series of posts on his Twitter account starting just after 12 a.m. ET, Twitter’s owner said that he’s looking to make the change worldwide as soon as Monday. “And soon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds,” Musk wrote on his account.Earlier this month, Musk put new curfews on his digital town square, a move that came under sharp criticism that it could drive away advertisers and undermine its cultural influence as a trendsetter.In May, Musk hired longtime NBC Universal executive Linda Yaccarino as Twitter’s CEO in a move to win back advertisers.
