FPREN Severe Weather

Much of Florida is getting June-July heat at the start of May. High humidity will make the already high temperatures feel even hotter across the Peninsula this weekend.

Temperatures across South Florida will reach the low to mid-90s this week due to a strong high-pressure system located in the Caribbean. This high will also prevent a cold front from moving through Florida. The rain will stay over North Florida and the Panhandle.

The wind shifts from the south during the middle of the week, and a high-pressure system brings another round of record-high temperatures to many cities across Florida this week.

The hurricane hunters start their second leg of the tour, with all stops scheduled along the Gulf Coast, including one in Sarasota. This free event showcases the two main hurricane hunter planes and staff members who fly them.

A cold front will move through Central and South Florida this weekend. There is a chance some storms will become severe and cause flash floods.

Damaging winds, hail, and an isolated tornado are possible starting Friday for parts of the Panhandle while the risk moves east on Saturday. Flash floods are also possible.

Record temperatures over the weekend are expected across Florida just before a front stalls and brings much-welcomed rains.

Florida will have a couple of cold fronts trying to sweep through over the coming 7 days, but there is not much hope for cooler temperatures. Instead, temperatures soar!

Winds will be strong from the north as very dry air arrives across Florida. Much of the state is under a Red Flag Warning, signaling fire danger.

Florida starts the week with a bit of everything for everyone. Dry and windy conditions heighten fire danger in the Panhandle and North Florida, while South Florida remains soggy and humid.
