Storms in Store this Weekend

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:38:46 GMT

Scattered storms roared through much of mainland South Florida on Friday, breaking a relatively quiet stretch of weather this week, and more storms are in store this weekend.A weak front is starting to stall to our north across central Florida, trapping plenty of moisture across the state and keeping South Florida in the warm and humid sector of this front. This will be the case both today and tomorrow.This Saturday, expect the risk for a shower during the morning but your best chance at avoiding rain will be in the morning with a mix of sun and clouds and temperatures quickly warming up into the upper 80s to low 90s. Then in the afternoon, scattered showers and thunderstorms are likely and that risk will linger into the evening, too.On Sunday, it will be fairly similar although with a southwest wind in place, temperatures could be a degree or two warmer before those storms fire up during the early afternoon hours.Next week is also looking wet, especially the early to midweek period...

Therefore, Ukraine has to win this war,” Baerbock said in the interview during her trip to the U.S.Baerbock’s comments come on the heels of recent trade tensions between Beijing and Brussels, after European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen this week said the EU executive would launch an investigation into Chinese electric vehicle subsidies.Despite Germany’s ambivalent approach toward China, Baerbock’s own Green Party tends to lean toward a more asser...
