Gusty breeze, Saharan dust help keep rain chance low for South Florida's metro areas

A gusty southeast breeze will push showers through the east coast metro areas and the Florida Keys on Thursday morning before storms develop over the interior in the afternoon. Winds will be near 20 mph out of the southeast with higher gusts this afternoon. A breeze from that direction this strong will not allow inland showers and storms to work back across the area later in the afternoon. It will be mainly dry in the evening. Temperatures will remain warm, a degree or two shy of 90 for the rest of this week and the weekend. Even though Saharan dust returns to the South Florida skies over the weekend, the strong ocean breeze will keep temperatures seasonably warm. The dust will lower the chance of rain slightly on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. A few showers work through the area in the morning before heavier showers and storms develop inland each day. Early next week the chance of rain remains low, but with a lighter breeze and less rain, high temperatures will be at or just above 90 degrees each day. A few showers may briefly cool things down in the morning before afternoon storms develop over the interior. Tropics remain quiet with nothing expected to develop over the next 7 days.

US Open 2025: What's the weather forecast for the first round at Oakmont Country Club?

The U.S. Open is here and as with any golf tournament, the weather is a huge factor. Will it rain at the Oakmont Country Club, near Pittsburgh? It's already been a wet May. How hot will it be? The 1994 Open at Oakmont was one of the most stifling in history, with the heat index hitting triple digits. The Oakmont Country Club is the site of this week's U.S. Open. Or a bit of everything? 2025 US Open weather for today According to the first round of the US Open on June 12 will be sunny with a mix of clouds and hot for Western Pennsylvania, with a high of 87 degrees and a low of 65. There is a 6 percent chance of rain and the wind will be WSW at 5-10 mph. Advertisement Here is the forecast for key times during the first round: 6:45 a.m.: First groups tee off Nos. 1 and 10 at Oakmont, 65 degrees, partly cloudy, 6 percent chance of rain, wind from the SSW 4 mph. 12:30 p.m.: First tee times for the afternoon wave, 81 degrees, sunny, 0 percent chance of rain, wind from the WSW 5 mph. 2:42 p.m.: Final tee time, 85 degrees, sunny, 0 percent chance of rain, wind from the SW 6 mph. 6 p.m.: 85 degrees, sunny, 0 percent chance of rain, wind from the WSW 5 mph. What's the U.S. Open forecast for the second round on June 13? A cloudy start with temperatures moderating. The high will be 80 degrees. The chance of rain is greatest in the afternoon, with between a 24 percent and 31 percent chance from Noon to 6 p.m. What happens if it rains at the US Open? If a weather system contains only rain, USGA officials will keep playing unless it gets heavy enough to create pools of water on the fairway and greens. A system that contains lightning is a more serious matter. Like any activity conducted outdoors, there is equipment that monitors lightning strikes and if one occurs within a certain distance of the course (generally from 7-10 miles away), play will be stopped and the course will be evacuated. Advertisement The USGA and all governing bodies of golf upgraded their lightning detection systems and protocols since since 1991, when a strike at the Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minn., injured five people and killed one spectator while they were huddled under a tree on the 16th fairway.
