Hot and Sunny for South Florida

1 day ago | wpbf.com | Sandra Shaw

OFFERED TO GO TO ME TO GO OUT ON A PYTHON. I REMEMBER THAT I WAS LIKE, ABSOLUTELY NOT. YOU’RE LIKE NEGATIVE GHOST RIDER. THERE’S NO WAY. ANYWAY, AS WE TAKE A LOOK OUTSIDE, THINGS ARE DRY. YOU CAN SEE THAT WITH THIS WATER VAPOR IMAGERY IS SHOWING STILL A LOT OF ORANGE AROUND THE AREA. SO STABILITY. WE’RE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF HIGH PRESSURE AND HOPEFULLY THE SNAKES ARE NOWHERE TO BE FOUND. ANYWAY, TEMPERATURES RIGHT NOW HOVERING HERE IN THE LOWER 70S ALONG THE TREASURE COAST.
Sunny and Hot for South Florida

2 days ago | wpbf.com | Sandra Shaw

TODAY. SANDRA, IT IS AN ABSOLUTE SCORCHER IN TEXAS. SO ANYWAY, FOR US, WE’RE GOING TO SEE A BIT OF HEAT, BUT IT’S GOING TO BE NOTHING ON THE SCALE OF WHAT THEY’RE GOING TO SEE OUT THERE UP INTO THE UPPER 80S. WE HAVE A VERY DRY SWATH OF AIR THAT HAS SETTLED IN SINCE MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. YOU CAN SEE THAT ORANGE ON OUR WATER VAPOR IMAGERY. THAT’S AN ARID AIR MASS, WHICH IS A 180. FROM WHAT WE SAW ON MONDAY WITH THOSE HEAVY, HEAVY RAINS THAT SWEPT THROUGH. SO LOOKING GOOD.
Dense Fog Advisory and Heat for South Florida

3 days ago | wpbf.com | Sandra Shaw

WITH SOME DOWNED TREES, ETC. THIS MORNING. IT’S MORE OF A FOCUS OF SOME FOG AND SOME RESIDUAL MOISTURE WITH SOME SCATTERED RAIN. SO DENSE FOG ADVISORY IS UP FOR THE TREASURE COAST AND WILL REMAIN UP UNTIL 8 A.M., SO YOU’RE GOING TO SEE SOME OF THAT FOG AROUND THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF TODAY. IT IS ULTRA HUMID OUTSIDE. I MEAN, SUPER PEA SOUP FEELING OUT THERE. SO WHERE WE HAVE THE FOG CONCENTRATION RIGHT NOW IS BETWEEN FORT BASINGER AND OKEECHOBEE FOR THE MOST PART, AND INTO FORT DRUM.
Severe Weather Warning Day for Flooding

4 days ago | wpbf.com | Sandra Shaw

TRACKER TRACKING THE SOGGY CONDITIONS FOR YOUR MORNING COMMUTE. WE DO START WITH SANDRA, THOUGH. THE AREA IS BEING IMPACTED RIGHT NOW. IT’S A SLOPPY MESS, EVEN EVEN ALREADY EAST OF 95, UP AND DOWN OUR CORRIDOR, WE HAVE HEAVY RAIN AND IT’S JUST GOING TO COME AND CONTINUE IN WAVE AFTER WAVE AFTER WAVE TODAY, REALLY GETTING BLASTED OVER THE KEYS. NOW ALL THIS COMING IN FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO. UPPER LEVEL LOW. ALSO A FRONT BAD COMBINATION. THAT MEANS POCKETS OF HEAVY BLASTING DELUGE TYPE RAIN.

Hot & Humid with Storm Chance Late for South Florida

1 week ago | wpbf.com | Sandra Shaw

SANDRA, AND IT’S GOOD NEWS. I MEAN, GETTING YOU READY, THAT’S ALWAYS JUST KIND OF TAKING THINGS INTO YOUR OWN HANDS AND PREPARING BEFOREHAND SO YOU’RE EMPOWERED. OKAY, NOTHING REALLY OUT THERE ON FIRST WARNING RADAR RIGHT NOW. SO QUIET SCENE HERE ON THE WATERFRONT DOWNTOWN. I LOVE OUR SKY CAMERAS. AND AGAIN, NOTHING POPPING YET. IT DOES LOOK LIKE OVERALL WE’RE GOING TO BE DRY TODAY, WHICH IS A NICE RESPITE CONSIDERING THAT WE’RE GOING TO SEE DAYS OF RAIN REALLY INTO NEXT WEEK.
Humid with Slight Chance of Showers for South Florida

1 week ago | wpbf.com | Sandra Shaw

WE CALLED IT YESTERDAY MORNING AND IT REALLY MATERIALIZED. AND SO AGAIN NOT IN A SEVERE RISK TODAY. SO THINGS ARE GETTING MUCH BETTER. BUT JUST FOR PERSPECTIVE, WE GOT MORE THAN TWO INCHES OF RAINFALL IN WELLINGTON IN ADDITION TO THAT HAIL VIDEO, YOU JUST SAW MORE THAN THREE IN BOYNTON BEACH. AND THIS IS MUCH NEEDED RAINFALL BECAUSE WE ARE ALL ACROSS PALM BEACH COUNTY IN AN EXTREME DROUGHT. SO ACTUALLY IT WAS BENEFICIAL IN THAT SENSE, BUT RATHER VIOLENT IF YOU WERE TRYING TO GET ANYWHERE QUICKLY.
Marginal Risk for Severe Storms for South Florida

1 week ago | wpbf.com | Sandra Shaw

WEEKEND. DID THAT HELP AT ALL WITH WHAT WE’RE EXPECTING TO GET TODAY WITH THOSE DRY CONDITIONS? WE’RE SO DRY IN AN EXTREME DROUGHT THAT ANY LITTLE BIT WILL HELP. SO, YOU KNOW, WE’LL TAKE WHAT WE CAN GET. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS WE ARE IN A MARGINAL RISK FOR ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS. AND A COUPLE OF THOSE MATERIALIZED YESTERDAY. WE NEVER REALLY NEED A SEVERE STORM FOR SURE. I MEAN, WITH LOTS OF LIGHTNING AND HEAVY, HEAVY RAIN, BUT A LOT IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME IS A POSSIBILITY.
Seasonable and Dry for South Florida

2 weeks ago | wpbf.com | Sandra Shaw

WE’RE GOING TO GET YOU OUT THE DOOR WITH TRAFFIC IN A SECOND. BUT SANDRA TALKED ABOUT A LITTLE RAIN THAT WE MIGHT HAVE TO PREPARE FOR THIS WEEKEND. THAT’S RIGHT. LATE ON SUNDAY, WE HAVE A FRONT THAT WILL BE APPROACHING FROM THE NORTH, AND IT’S GOING TO STIR UP SOME MOISTURE. THAT’S INDICATED BY THE YELLOW HERE. SO WE HAVEN’T SEEN THAT ON OUR MOISTURE MAP IN QUITE A WHILE. SO LET’S TAKE IT AS A WIN. IN THE MEANTIME. ABSOLUTELY STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL TODAY AND DRY FOR YOUR FRIDAY.

WATCHING THE ROADS NICE AND GREEN RIGHT THERE SO FAR. AND SANDRA TRACKING ANOTHER DRY WARM DAY. YOU GOT IT. AND MAY 1ST HERE WE GO. BEGINNING THE MONTH WITH YOU KNOW AN INTERESTING MONTH BECAUSE WE TYPICALLY TRANSITION TO THE WET SEASON BY THE END OF THE MONTH. BUT HERE WE GO. FROM MIDNIGHT ONWARD YOU CAN SEE THIS INFLUX OF DRIER AIR INDICATED BY THE ORANGE OVER SOUTH FLORIDA. SO IT WILL BE DELIGHTFUL THIS AFTERNOON WITH A HIGH OF ABOUT 84. THAT’S AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR.
