SUMMARY: Good afternoon and welcome to WD7 First Alert Weather Focus with Chief Meteorologist Patrick Bigby. Today we discuss the increasing rain chances later this week, ongoing heat and humidity, and provide safety tips for lightning. Currently, temperatures are in the low to mid-90s. Showers are causing a gradual drop to the mid-80s tonight and mid-70s overnight. Rain chances increase, especially towards Friday. The tropics remain quiet due to Saharan dust, but activity might pick up in two weeks. Coastal areas will see typical pop-up showers with warm sea temperatures. Next week’s cool front could lower temperatures to the 80s by Saturday. Stay tuned for more updates.
It’s a new week, and our First Alert Weather team is here for a new edition of Focus!
