Expect lots of sun for this Father's Day weekend in South Florida
The NEXT Weather Team is tracking a warm and mostly dry Father's Day across South Florida. We'll see high temperatures from Fort Lauderdale to Key West in the upper 80s with lots of sun.
When we add in the humidity, the "feels like" temperatures jump to the triple digits in Margate, Tamarac and Miramar. Across Broward, Miami-Dade and Monroe counties it will feel like the upper 90s.
There will be a few pop-up showers early Sunday morning but those quickly dissipate and are replaced by mostly sunny skies.
The sun and temperatures make for the perfect beach day, but be prepared for a moderate risk of rip currents.
Winds out of the Southeast at 10 mph and the surf of 1-2 feet. The UV Index is extreme, so you'll need to reapply sunscreen throughout the day.
A similar pattern is setting-up for the next few days.
The start of the work week will be mostly sunny with temperatures in the low 90s and little to no chance of rain across most of South Florida as we head towards the official start of Summer on Friday.

Tracking a hot and humid week with t-storm chances Tuesday
Temperatures this afternoon climbed into the mid to upper 80s, making for a warm and humid Sunday across the region. These toasty conditions will persist as we begin the workweek on Monday. Expect highs to rise into the low 90s, with the characteristic Missouri humidity sticking around. Monday will remain dry, with mostly sunny skies and occasional breaks of sunshine throughout the day. Tuesday marks a shift to more active weather. We are currently under a Level 2 — Slight Risk — for severe weather due to the potential for strong thunderstorms. Two rounds of rain are expected: the first in the morning and a second, potentially stronger round in the evening. The main threats with this system include heavy rainfall, large hail, and damaging winds. Rain may linger into early Wednesday morning, but conditions should gradually improve as skies begin to clear. Behind the cold front, temperatures will cool down, with highs returning to the low 80s. Looking ahead, warmer air quickly builds back in for the latter half of the week, with temperatures climbing into the low to mid-90s by the weekend. Dry and sunny conditions are expected to dominate, just in time for the official start of summer on Friday.

Somewhere the sun was shining Sunday, just not in Washington
Somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright, as the old poem goes, but on Sunday that somewhere seemed not to be in the District, where it was implacably overcast all the day long. The poem, of course, is 'Casey at the Bat,' but it seemed unlikely that any sports failure caused the gloomy skies above the capital on Sunday. Even though the local major league baseball team, the Washington Nationals, lost again. It seemed more likely that the gray clouds that loomed over the city from morning to night resulted from meteorological, rather than athletic or psychological reasons. But it certainly seemed to be a day solidly stocked with clouds. A day of gray dimness, from horizon to horizon, with overcast still to spare. And it was a cool day, too. The high temperature in D.C. was deceptive, seeming warmer than the day was. The official high was 72 degrees, which is fairly cool itself. But that 72- degree reading was a kind of stealth high, which stole into the record books only six minutes after midnight. That is not typically the time when days are at their warmest. It was more an inheritance from Saturday than a temperature representative of Sunday. Or of the last days of spring. Even the 72 degrees was 13 below the average high for the 15th of June in Washington. And most of the daylight hours were cooler, characterized by readings in the middle or high 60s. So it was a cool and cloudy day in the District, a day that seemed to reflect the weather experiences of other times and places. The existence of the sun, the powerful, searching sun of June, demanded to be taken on faith rather than direct observation. A layer of cloud, about two miles up, proved effective in hiding the sun from view, and probably in confining the temperature to its low levels. It turns out, however, that just as asserted in the poem, somewhere in America the sun was indeed shining bright. Television showed a sunshiny day in Portland, Oregon, to name one such somewhere. Portland's hometown Thorns played the Spirit, which represents the District, in a televised National Women's Soccer League game. Once again, 'our' team met defeat. But for partisans of June sunshine, of whatever athletic affiliation, the setting of the match, the atmospherics and atmosphere, seemed to be a win.

Canadian heat waves far more likely in the era of climate change
"When it's in the 40s outside, it's warmer in here. And, it just goes on for weeks," said Julie Leggett, a resident of Nee Glasgow, N.S., in an interview with The Weather Network in 2024. Heat waves can be especially dangerous for people without air conditioning. SEE ALSO: So, you might want to buy one soon, if you're in Eastern Canada, as another hot summer is in store, according to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC). 'In the East, the probability for a warmer-than-normal summer, on average, is highest. It's definitely higher in the East than elsewhere," said Jennifer Smith, an ECCC meteorologist, in a recent interview with The Weather Network. Last summer, 37 heat waves across the country were analyzed as part of a pilot rapid extreme weather event attribution system. The goal is to quantify how human-caused climate change impacts the likelihood of heat waves shortly after they occur, in an effort to help inform adaptation planning. The system works by using climate models to compare the frequency of heat waves during the 1800s, when atmospheric greenhouse gas levels were lower before the Industrial Revolution. A colour-coded scale was created to indicate how much more likely an extreme weather event was to occur, specifically because of human influence on the climate. Last year, four events--all in Canada's North--were 'far more likely," while 28 events were much more likely and five were more likely. It's already been used this year to analyze a four-day heat wave that occurred in Alberta at the end of May. 'Averaged over all of Alberta, the peak temperature during the event was nearly 29 C, which is more than 11 C above normal for this time of year," said Bill Merryfield, a ECCC research scientist, in a recent interview with The Weather Network. The Alberta heat wave was at least two to 10 times more likely to occur in the climate of today, classified as 'much more likely to occur because of human activity.' The four 2024 Northern Canada heat waves were 10 times more likely--so, in other words, far more likely. 'We can expect similar events to occur more often as our climate continues to warm," said Merryfield.
