Chances for significant rainfall

Added: 2026-05-24

[00:00:01]NEXT WEEKEND AND I’M GOING TO SHOW YOU WHY, BECAUSE WE DO HAVE SOME PRETTY GOOD CHANCES FOR RAIN.

[00:00:05]LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT’S GOING ON HERE AS WE CHECK OUT OUR SKYCAM NETWORK.

[00:00:08]AND WE’VE GOT A NICE DAY TODAY.

[00:00:10]BUT IT WAS VERY, VERY HOT.

[00:00:12]WE SAW TEMPERATURES CLIMBING INTO THE 90S AND UPPER 80S, BUT THE HEAT INDEX, THE TEMPERATURE PLUS THE HUMIDITY MADE IT FEEL LIKE IT WAS IN THE UPPER 90S AND EVEN LOW 100 TODAY.

[00:00:21]AND WE’RE GOING TO HAVE MORE OF THAT TOMORROW.

[00:00:23]THERE’S OUR SKYCAM NETWORK FLORIDA EVENT CENTER IN PORT SAINT LUCIE.

[00:00:26]WE ALSO HAVE AN EVENT THERE COMING UP THE FIRST WEEKEND OF JUNE.

[00:00:29]BUT HERE’S A QUICK LOOK AT WHAT’S GOING ON RIGHT NOW.

[00:00:32]INCREASING MOISTURE, CONTINUING TO MOVE IN.

[00:00:34]AND THAT IS RAISING OUR HUMIDITY UP.

[00:00:36]AND THE MORE HUMIDITY WE HAVE, THE HOTTER IT FEELS.

[00:00:39]SO RIGHT NOW, IT STILL FEELS LIKE IT’S 97 DEGREES IN OKEECHOBEE, AND IT FEELS LIKE THE LOW TO MID 90S THROUGHOUT OUR ENTIRE VIEWING AREA ALONG THE COAST.

[00:00:49]BUT IT’S ACTUALLY IN THE 80S, 84 IN BOCA, 84 RIVIERA BEACH 87 WELLINGTON ROYAL PALM, 86, PALM CITY ABOUT 86.

[00:00:56]TRADITION 84.

[00:00:57]LAKEWOOD PARK 85 DEGREES IN SEBASTIAN AND ABOUT 90 IN OKEECHOBEE.

[00:01:02]BUT AGAIN, FEELING LIKE IT’S 97, THAT’S HOW MUCH MORE HEAT THE HUMIDITY ADDS ON TOP OF THE ACTUAL TEMPERATURE.

[00:01:09]NOW LET’S TALK ABOUT THE RADAR.

[00:01:10]WE DON’T REALLY HAVE MUCH RAINFALL AROUND.

[00:01:12]YOU SEE SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP HERE.

[00:01:15]UPPER LEVEL WINDS MAY BLOW SOME OF THAT RAINFALL BACK OVER TO OUR AREA LATER ON THIS EVENING, BUT NOT AS THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY.

[00:01:21]JUST SOME SHOWERS BUT PRETTY BIG THUNDERSTORMS THERE AROUND ARCADIA, PORT CHARLOTTE.

[00:01:25]THOSE CLOUDS PRETTY HIGH UP THERE, SOME OF THEM STARTING TO COLLAPSE A LITTLE BIT JUST IN THE PAST FEW MINUTES AS THE STORMS KIND OF RAIN THEMSELVES OUT.

[00:01:32]SO IN OUR AREA, NO RAINFALL TO TALK ABOUT TREASURE COAST, PALM BEACH COUNTY, PRETTY QUIET OTHER THAN MAYBE A LITTLE SHOWER HERE, TRYING TO CREEP INTO THE WESTERN PARTS OF PALM BEACH COUNTY.

[00:01:40]NOW, FUTURECAST DOES HAVE SOME OF THAT RAINFALL KIND OF BLOWING BACK OVER DURING THE LATE EVENING HOURS WITH SOME SHOWERS POSSIBLE.

[00:01:46]SO YOU MAY HEAR THE PITTER PATTER OF RAINDROPS ON YOUR ROOFTOP AS YOU GO TO BED LATER ON TONIGHT.

[00:01:51]A CHANCE FOR A FEW SHOWERS COMING IN ALONG THE COAST TOMORROW.

[00:01:54]AND BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON, 1 OR 2 THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE IN OUR INLAND COMMUNITIES, ESPECIALLY, AND MAYBE A LITTLE AFTERNOON RAIN NEAR THE COAST.

[00:02:00]BUT MOST OF THE ACTIVITY LOOKS LIKE ONCE AGAIN, IT WILL MOVE ON OVER TO THE WEST COAST OF FLORIDA AS WE GET INTO THE AFTERNOON.

[00:02:08]RAIN CHANCES ABOUT 30% TOMORROW, A LITTLE BIT DRIER.

[00:02:10]MONDAY, TUESDAY, 20% CHANCE FOR RAIN, BUT STILL REALLY HUMID.

[00:02:13]AND THEN LOOK AT THIS CLIMBING RAIN CHANCES AS WE GET TO WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.

[00:02:17]WHY IS THAT?

[00:02:18]WELL, RIGHT NOW WE HAVE ENOUGH MOISTURE AROUND TO KEEP IT PRETTY HUMID.

[00:02:22]BUT WHEN YOU LOOK UP HERE AT THIS AT THIS LEGEND AT THE TOP HERE, THE REALLY SATURATED MOISTURE IS REALLY WHITE AND LIGHT GREEN.

[00:02:31]AND AS WE GET INTO, ESPECIALLY WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, THERE’S THIS BIG POOL OF REALLY RICH TROPICAL MOISTURE THAT STARTS TO MOVE UP INTO FLORIDA.

[00:02:40]AND IT REALLY PEAKS ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY OF NEXT WEEKEND.

[00:02:43]SO THAT’S WHY WE HAVE SUCH HIGH CHANCES FOR RAIN AS WE GET TO THE END OF THE WEEK AND INTO THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEKEND.

[00:02:50]HERE’S A LOOK AT THAT SEVEN DAY FORECAST.

[00:02:53]WE’VE GOT THE 30% CHANCE FOR RAIN TOMORROW, MOSTLY ALONG THE COAST IN THE MORNING, THEN INLAND AND WEST COAST IN THE AFTERNOON EVENING, 20% CHANCES FOR RAIN MONDAY AND TUESDAY.

[00:03:02]AS WE GET INTO WEDNESDAY, WE START TO SEE THOSE RAIN CHANCES PICK UP AND THEN IMPACT WEATHER WITH A 50% CHANCE FOR RAIN OR HIGHER.

[00:03:09]AS WE GET INTO THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, YOU CAN SEE PRETTY GOOD COVERAGE AREA THERE.

[00:03:14]TAKE A LOOK AT FRIDAY’S WEATHER AS WE GET, ESPECIALLY TO THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS.

[00:03:18]PRETTY GOOD RAIN COVERAGE THERE.

[00:03:19]SO WE HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR THE END OF NEXT WEEK TO GET A LITTLE
