Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:18:29 GMT

Yesterday we saw some strong storms in the afternoon and late evening that triggered a round of trouble and we are likely to catch a break today. However, it won’t be totally dry. There is a small chance of seeing an isolated shower or storm and the activity that develops could produce heavy rain, frequent dangerous lightning and small-sized hail. By Friday, winds turn from the Southeast to the Southwest as a weak front moves into Northern Florida. This will set the stage for steamy conditions to be felt all across South Florida through the weekend with high temperatures in the upper 80’s to low 90’s. Also, moisture level creep up as well Friday, so a chance of scattered showers and storms possible bother morning and afternoon. Over the weekend, weak front moves in increasing winds and storminess across the region. Once the front cross through in the evening, it should be drier and less humid on Monday. Temperatures forecast to remain warm with lows in the upper 60...

It also temporarily removed each leader’s access to classified systems and information.Court papers urging a federal judge to keep Teixeira in custody detailed a troubling history going back to high school, whe...
