What's weather forecast for Florida this weekend? Will it rain? Are summer temps here?
If you plan to head to the beach to cool off, watch out for dangerous rip currents. And smelly sargassum seaweed. And blue-green algae or red tide or healthy advisories that may make it unsafe for swimming.

The National Weather Service Melbourne and Miami warned there's a high risk for rip currents at local beaches and said "entering the surf is not advised!"
Temperatures will be "noticeably warmer," reaching the low- to mid-90s in interior counties in Central Florida and mid- to upper 80s along the East Coast, according to the National Weather Service Melbourne.
"A moderate heat risk exists on Sunday (April 27) over the interior of east central Florida as temps will be several degrees above normal. Leesburg will have the best chance to equal/exceed its record high of 93" on April 27.
Residents in Northeast Florida also can expect "above seasonable temperatures" through the weekend, with highs ranging from the mid 80s along the immediate coast to the upper 80s/low 90s inland, according to the National Weather Service Jacksonville.
High temperatures in the lower 90s will be common over inland areas, with a few mid-90s expected over the inland Big Bend, NWS Tallahassee said.
Maybe, for some areas.
Isolated to scattered showers and storms could develop Sunday afternoon in Northeast Florida, but dry conditions are expected in the Panhandle.
Don't expect any rain to move south. "The weekend is forecast to remain rain-free for most," NWS Melbourne said.
Dangerous rip currents are expected through late Saturday along much of Florida's east coast, according to NWS Melbourne and Miami.
"Entering the surf is strongly discouraged."
"Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water."
If caught in a rip current:
Relax and float
Don't swim against the current
If able, swim in a direction following the shoreline
If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help

Move over, blue moon. Colorado in line to experience a rare black moon in August
You've likely heard of a blue moon. But have you heard of a black moon? Like a blue moon, a black moon isn't an official astronomy term but a folklore term, according to When there are two full moons in a single month, it's called a blue moon. When there are two new moons in a calendar month, the second one is called a black moon. A new moon is the phase when the moon is in conjunction with the sun, making it invisible from Earth or appearing a crescent. When you can experience the next black moon A black moon will occur at 11:06 p.m. Aug. 22 in Colorado. What is the weather forecast for the night of Aug. 22? Not good for viewing. The National Weather Service is calling for a 60% chance of showers and mostly cloudy skies for the Fort Collins area. If the black moon is invisible, what's the big deal? Unlike a blue moon, which really isn't blue, you can't see a black moon because it will be invisible. But because there is no moonlight the night of Aug. 22, it will make stargazing that much better because without the moon, the night will be darker, allowing you to see more stars and planets. That also will allow you to take in the last of the Perseid meteor shower, which is expected to remain until Aug. 23. Enhance your viewing by going to a dark place to eliminate light pollution. How rare are black moons? Seasonal black moons, like the one Aug. 22, happen about once every 33 months. The most recent black moon was May 19, 2023, and the next one will be Aug. 20, 2028, which will be a super black moon.

Heat advisories extended for Bay Area inland locations as hot weather to last into weekend
Large portions of the Bay Area and the Central Coast were under a heat advisory Thursday morning, which has been extended for what could be the hottest days of the year. The National Weather Service said a heat advisory was in effect at 10 a.m. for inland portions of the East Bay and South Bay, as well as the North Bay interior mountains. The advisory was extended through Saturday after forecasters originally said the heat wave would peak on Friday. In its daily forecast discussion, the Weather Service said Thursday would be the hottest day for coastal and bayshore areas with above-normal temperatures in the 70s and 80s, respectively. However, away from the coast, temperatures will be in the 90s to the lower 100s on Thursday, with some records for the day possible falling. KPIX First Alert Weather: Current conditions, alerts, maps for your area While coastal areas should begin to see some relief late Thursday afternoon as onshore wind conditions start to prevail, interior locations will remain in the grip of a heat dome emanating from the Four Corners area of the Southwest U.S. through Saturday with Friday being the hottest day of this round of heat, the Weather Service said. Further south in the Central Coast area, interior portions of Monterey and San Benito Counties are also under the heat advisory, while areas of the San Joaquin Valley will be under an extreme heat warning beginning at 11 a.m. Friday through 8 a.m. Sunday. The Weather Service said dangerously hot conditions are expected in parts of the Central Valley with temperatures reaching 105, along with warm overnight lows in the mid-70s to lower 80s. In addition to the high temperatures, forecast models show clouds are moving in from the south as monsoonal moisture reaches the Bay Area and Central Coast, the Weather Service said. While the models show enough moisture and unstable air to support storms, forecasters say there's no strong trigger to set them off, meaning the chance of thunderstorms is low but not zero. If any storms do form, they're more likely to bring lightning than rain, raising the risk of dry thunderstorms, with the best window for possible storm activity being Friday and Saturday, especially over the Central Coast, forecasters said.
