Another sweltering South Florida day, chance of inland afternoon showers
Wednesday got off to a warm and steamy start with temperatures in the low 80s and "feels-like" temps in the low 90s.
While the morning will be mainly dry, around midday and in the afternoon a few showers and storms will be possible.
Florida's lobster mini-season is underway and Mother Nature is cooperating as there are no alerts or advisories for boaters. Boaters over the Atlantic waters can expect light winds out of the south at 5 knots with seas of 2 feet or less and smooth conditions on the bays. Boaters in the Keys can expect light winds out of the southeast at 5 knots with seas around 1 feet and smooth conditions nearshore.
For beachgoers, there is a low risk of rip currents and the UV index is extreme.
Thursday stays hot and humid with afternoon highs in the low 90s and "feels-like" temperatures in the low 100s. Heat advisories may be issued by the National Weather Service if the heat indices reach 105 degrees for two hours or longer. The chance of rain will remain at 20% with spotty showers possible.
The sweltering heat sticks around through the weekend as highs remain in the low 90s and "feels-like" temperatures continue in the triple-digits. The chance of rain will stay low as high pressure remains in control. Some showers and a few storms will be possible on Saturday and Sunday.
The chance of rain increases early next week.

Wiltshire could be in '12 hottest counties' as heat maps predict next wave
The UK's next heatwave is predicted to be on the horizon, and Wiltshire is set to be one of the hottest counties. After a wet start to August, meteorologists are predicting more scorching temperatures for parts of the UK later this month. It comes after recent successive heatwaves saw the hottest June ever recorded in England. New forecast data collected by suggests that temperatures could reach above the mid-30s for some areas on Monday, August 18. Wiltshire has been included in the site's list of 12 counties expected to see max temperatures of up to 35C. Other counties being warned of the hot weather include Devon, northern parts of Dorset, Berkshire, Hampshire, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, northern parts of Gloucestershire and northern parts of Cambridgeshire. Heat maps suggest another wave of high temperatures is on the way (Image: The Met Office has yet to confirm these forecasts, saying it's too early to know for sure, but the office's long-range forecast does show possibilities of high temperatures during August. The forecast from August 10 to August 19, reads: "Potential for some very warm and humid weather to affect parts of the south and east in particular." This matches predictions set out on heat maps and those reported in national news sites such as The Express. The Met Office definition of a heatwave is three consecutive days of temperatures exceeding the "heatwave threshold" for that part of the country. For most of the UK, this is 25C, with slightly higher numbers for the South and East, and rising to 28C in London. Looking to the week ahead, temperatures in Wiltshire are set to rise from 24C on Saturday, August 9, to 26C by Monday, and reaching highs of 28C by Tuesday, August 12.

Exactly When To See The Full ‘Sturgeon Moon' Appear This Weekend
August's full moon, the 'sturgeon moon,' may have one of the strangest names in the lunar calendar, but this year it's exquisitely timed for skywatchers in North America. Though it's technically opposite the sun early on Saturday, Aug. 9, it will look at its best at moonrise on two successive evenings — Friday, Aug. 8 and Saturday, Aug. 9. However, moon gazers will need to get their timing precise to see it appear on the horizon as a glowing orange orb. The August full moon known as the 'Sturgeon Moon' rises behind the ferris wheel at Bristol International Balloon Fiesta at Ashton Court Estate, on August 11, 2022 in Bristol, England. (Photo by) Getty Images The moon will reach its full phase at precisely 3:56 a.m. EDT on Saturday, Aug. 9, when it will be 100% illuminated by the sun. A full moon is, by definition, opposite the sun, so it always appears in the eastern sky around the same time as the sunset in the western sky. This month, as seen from mid-latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, it will rise in the southeast, shine all night and set in the southwest. Since it's opposite the sun, a full moon always mirrors its position. In summer, the moon behaves like the sun in winter, tracing an arc low in the southern sky. A moon calculator will find the exact time of moonrise on Friday, Aug. 8 and Saturday, Aug. 9, for any location on Earth, but here are some sample times for the biggest cities in the U.S. (For all locations, sunset more or less coincides with moonrise on Friday, Aug. 8). New York City: 8:03 p.m. EDT on Friday, Aug. 8 and 8:32 p.m. EDT on Saturday, Aug. 9. Chicago: 8:02 p.m. EDT on Friday, Aug. 8 and 8:29 p.m. EDT on Saturday, Aug. 9. Houston: 8:05 p.m. EDT on Friday, Aug. 8 and 8:41 p.m. EDT on Saturday, Aug. 9. Phoenix: 7:21 p.m. EDT on Friday, Aug. 8 and 7:55 p.m. EDT on Saturday, Aug. 9. Los Angeles: 7:48 p.m. EDT on Friday, Aug. 8 and 8:21 p.m. EDT on Saturday, Aug. 9. Why The Full Moon Will Rise Twice The moon rises, on average, 50 minutes later each night during the 29 days of its orbit around Earth. However, there's much variation depending on the latitude of the viewer. Since the moon has a tilted orbit and doesn't orbit directly over Earth's equator, the daily delay in moonrise depends on how steeply the moon's orbit intersects the horizon. When the angle is shallow — as it is right now, as seen from mid-latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere — the moon rises only slightly later each night. The sturgeon moon is the eighth of 12 full moons in 2025. A solar year is 365.24 days, while a lunar year is around 354.37 days, so sometimes there are 13 full moons in one calendar (solar) year — as in 2023 and next in 2028. The next full moon is the Corn Moon on Sunday, Sept. 8, and from Asia, Australia, and the Pacific Ocean will also be a total lunar eclipse similar to that seen in North America on March 13-14.

Pleasant Raven's game conditions are in Baltimore's forecast
Thursday begins on a mild and somewhat humid note across central Maryland. Temperatures are running from the mid-60s in Frederick, to near 70° at BWI and mid to upper 60s across the Eastern Shore. Patchy fog and low clouds are possible through sunrise across the Baltimore metro. Weather shouldn't have much of an impact on your out-the-door routine. Plan on a bit more sunshine than yesterday. Still, there will be rounds of clouds overhead. Brief and spotty rain showers are possible this afternoon. Temperatures peak in the upper 70s and lower 80s between 3 and 5 p.m. The First Alert Forecast looks great for the Raven's game at M&T Bank Stadium; dry and pleasant-feeling, with temperatures in the 70s. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. The sky clears as we head into the second weekend of August. As nice as last weekend was, this coming weekend is shaping up to feature the same sort of weather. Mornings are forecast to be pleasantly cool, while afternoon features temperatures in the mid to upper 80s. Humidity, however, remains low through the weekend. While warm, it won't feel too bad outside. The First Alert Forecast remains dry both Saturday and Sunday. Monday will be the first afternoon that Baltimore pushes 90°. It only gets hotter from there. Temperatures warm into the lower 90s Tuesday afternoon and mid to upper 90s Wednesday afternoon. Humidity will be more noticeable next week, as well. When factoring in the mugginess, it'll feel hotter than 100° in parts of central Maryland by Wednesday afternoon. A front approaches mid-week, just as the heat begins to get more intense. Scattered Wednesday storms should give way to slightly cooler weather again later in the week.
