Added: 2026-06-03

[00:00:01]CHAPTER OF THE RED CROSS.

[00:00:02]THEY DO AN AWESOME JOB AND I ENJOY THAT.

[00:00:04]ALL RIGHT.

[00:00:05]NOT REALLY ENJOYING THIS DOWNPOUR ACTION.

[00:00:07]WE HAVE IMPACT WEATHER AND ALL THE RED YOU SEE HERE.

[00:00:11]THAT’S INTENSE MOISTURE WHICH IS GOING TO BE ENVELOPING US HERE OVER NOT ONLY TODAY, BUT ALL WEEKEND LONG AND EVEN IN THROUGH NEXT WEEK.

[00:00:20]SO THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS IMPACT STATUS FOR US ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA RIGHT NOW.

[00:00:24]A DEVELOPING THUNDERSTORM WITH SOME LIGHTNING STRIKES, UP TO SIX LIGHTNING STRIKES JUST EAST OF LAKE OKEECHOBEE.

[00:00:30]THAT’S MOVING IN WITH A SOUTHWEST FLOW.

[00:00:32]THAT SOUTHWEST FLOW REALLY GENERATES A LOT OF SHOWERS.

[00:00:34]DIXIE RANCH ACRES.

[00:00:35]WE HAVE A DOWNPOUR.

[00:00:36]WE HAVE RAINS, A SWATH OF IT THROUGH SAINT LUCIE VILLAGE TRADITION.

[00:00:40]FORT PIERCE NOW AND RIGHT OVER PORT SAINT LUCIE, BACK INTO BLUEFIELD IN CANADA.

[00:00:45]SHOWERS AND DOWNPOURS AS WELL.

[00:00:47]THE LIGHTNING WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SWATH HERE OVER BLUEFIELD.

[00:00:50]SO YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THOSE STRIKES RIGHT THERE.

[00:00:52]AGAIN, PRETTY HEAVY RAIN WITH A PRETTY DECENT RAINFALL RATE HERE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE LAKE.

[00:00:57]THERE’S SOME SHOWERS.

[00:00:57]THERE’S A LITTLE BIT OF LIGHT STUFF HERE NEAR JUPITER FARMS AND PALM BEACH GARDENS, BUT IT’S JUST MESSY OUT THERE.

[00:01:02]IT’S SLOPPY.

[00:01:03]IT’S UNSETTLED.

[00:01:04]WE SAW DOWNPOURS THIS MORNING AND WE’LL SEE REALLY THE IMPETUS OF THE ACTION LATER ON THIS EVENING.

[00:01:10]UPPER 80S RIGHT NOW.

[00:01:11]SO PRESSING THE ENVELOPE ALREADY 91 IN OKEECHOBEE FEELS A LOT WORSE THAN THAT BECAUSE OF THIS HIGH HUMIDITY AND STICKINESS.

[00:01:17]AND SO THIS SUN YOU SEE HERE OVER THE AIRPORT, THAT’S NOT REALLY A GREAT THING BECAUSE IT WILL DESTABILIZE THE ATMOSPHERE.

[00:01:23]AND THAT WILL MEAN SOME STORMS EMBEDDED WITHIN THESE DOWNPOURS AS WELL.

[00:01:27]SO RAIN AND STORMS TONIGHT.

[00:01:29]6:00 A GOOD COVERAGE IMPACT.

[00:01:31]YOU SEE THAT DENOTED BY THE UPSIDE DOWN YELLOW TRIANGLE.

[00:01:33]9:00 AND EVEN INTO MIDNIGHT, WE’RE STILL GOING TO BE HAVING THOSE STORMS AROUND.

[00:01:37]AND I’LL BE ON THE AIR WITH YOU TOMORROW THROUGHOUT THE DAY, AS WELL AS IN THE MORNING.

[00:01:41]TRACKING THIS.

[00:01:42]SO LATER THIS AFTERNOON, 430 IS KIND OF A APEX OR PEAK TIME FOR US.

[00:01:46]WE HAVE ALONG THE TURNPIKE BLAST OF HEAVY RAIN HERE WITH, YOU KNOW, THE HOT PINKS AND THE REDS EXTENDING ALL THE WAY DOWN THROUGH THE MAJORITY OF PALM BEACH COUNTY.

[00:01:54]IT ALL JUST KIND OF TRAVERSES FROM THE SOUTH AND WEST TO THE EAST.

[00:01:57]AND SO BY 5:00, MOST OF US ARE SEEING DOWNPOURS AS WELL.

[00:02:00]THERE’S A FLOODING RISK UNDER NO ADVISORIES OR ANYTHING AT THIS POINT, BUT EXCESSIVE RAIN ACTUALLY IS A POSSIBILITY.

[00:02:06]SO YOUR FIRST WARNING WEATHER SEVEN DAY SHOWING THAT TODAY WITH A 70% COVERAGE, I WANT TO PULL IT OUT AND TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE EVEN FOR TOMORROW WITH OUR MODELING.

[00:02:15]AND IT’S LOOKING VERY SIMILAR, JUST A SATURATED SOUTH FLORIDA PENINSULA ALL AROUND.

[00:02:20]SO WE ARE GOING TO SEE INTENSE MOISTURE JUST OVERTAKING THE SCENARIO FOR THE FORECAST GOING FORWARD.

[00:02:25]WET WEEKEND, SOME SHOWERS IN THE MORNING AND THEN WE’LL SEE THE SKIES UNLEASHED EACH AND EVERY AFTERNOON.

[00:02:29]BY THE WAY, AHEA
