Staying Aware Of The Tropics & Heat
From Meteorologist Ryan Dugger in the 4Warn Storm Center:
SYNOPSIS – Another day of temperatures in the lower 100s is in store for tomorrow before the heat over the Wiregrass loosens its grip for next week. Isolated showers and thunderstorms tomorrow can provide cooling for some areas while better rain coverage Monday and Tuesday reduces temperatures to the middle and lower 90s. Tropical Depression 10 continues to organize before heading north into the abundantly warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, where it can strengthen into a significant hurricane.
“Stay alert over the coming days and at least consider how your plans would change should a hurricane approach the Florida Panhandle around Wednesday.” - Chief Meteorologist David Paul

TOMORROW – Partly cloudy, then isolated showers and thunderstorms. High near 102°. Winds S-SW at 5-10 mph.
