💧 WEATHER WATCH

The primary concern this week is repeated thunderstorms and locally heavy rainfall. Lightning and brief periods of heavier rain will be possible with stronger storms.

 

With rain chances of 80–90% Tuesday through Friday, residents should keep an eye on the sky and current forecasts rather than assuming an outdoor activity will stay dry. National Weather Service

 

☂️ PLANNING AHEAD

 

Tuesday–Friday: Keep the umbrella handy and have an indoor backup for outdoor plans.

 

Saturday–Sunday: Better opportunities for outdoor activities may develop between showers, but neither day currently looks completely dry.

 

And remember our Florida rule: if you hear thunder, you're close enough to be struck by lightning.

 

Head indoors.
