KILLED 52 BEARS. >> IF I LOOK TO MY BACKYARD AND SAW HIM PLAYING LIKE THAT, BUT YOU CAN HAVE IT WHENEVER LOVE AND GET THE HUNT FOR. LIKE LITTLE BABIES. THEY CUTE. BIG CLOSET. YEAH. KEEP YOUR TO FROM ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A LOW RAIN CHANCES TODAY, BUT I AM TRACKING A WETTER PATTERN LATER ON THIS WEEK. THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY. STILL NOT A WASHOUT. ANY ONE DAY. >> BUT WE ARE GEARING UP FOR A MUCH WETTER PATTERN TOWARD THE 2ND HALF OF THE WEEK. NOW TODAY, STILL IT’S LOOKING AT ISOLATED RAIN BECAUSE EVEN AT THE SURFACE IT MAY BE FEELING VERY HUMID. BUT THEN THE MID TO UPPER LEVELS. WE’RE LOOKING AT SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR. SO WANT TO SHOW YOU WHAT HAPPENS HEADING TOWARD ESPECIALLY THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. WE’VE GOT THIS POCKET OF DRIER AIR, LIMITING RAIN CHANCES TO JUST ISOLATED, BUT THEN DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE STARTS TO RETURN THURSDAY FRIDAY HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND AS WELL. AND SO THIS IS GOING TO GIVE US A LITTLE BIT MORE MOISTURE TO WORK WITH TRIGGERING SOME HIGHER RAINFALL TOTALS. BUT OUT AHEAD OF ALL OF THIS TODAY, WE ARE IN THE LOW 90’S, LOW RAIN CHANCES. SO GET READY TO SWEAT ALL OVER AGAIN ON THIS TUESDAY. I’M SURE MANY OF YOU OUTDOORS YESTERDAY FELT THE HEAT AND WE’RE GOING TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN TODAY. COUPLE OF SPRINKLES GETTING GOING INTO AROUND 2, 3, 4 O’CLOCK. AND THEN ESPECIALLY WITH THAT EAST WIND STILL IN PLAY. IT WILL BE COASTAL SPOTS FAVORED FOR SOME OF THE RAIN HEADING INTO LATE TONIGHT. BUT THE COVERAGE, NOT THAT IMPRESSIVE. YOU CAN SEE MANY COMMUNITIES STILL STAYING DRY, SOME DOWNPOURS AND STILL THE POTENTIAL IS THERE FOR A COUPLE OF STORMS. BUT FOR MANY COMMUNITIES HIT OR MISS RAIN AND THIS WILL BE ONE OF THE DAYS WITH THE FEWEST SHOWERS AND STORMS OVER THE NEXT WEEK HEADING DOWN THE ROAD THURSDAY FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND INCREASING CLOUD COVER AND REALLY CRANKING UP RAIN COVERAGE. SO WILL BE IN THE UPPER 80’S TO LOW 90’S. FINALLY RUNNING LITTLE BIT CLOSER TO SEASONAL. STILL VERY WARM FOR THE MORNINGS AND MANY OF THE MORNINGS WILL STILL STAY DRY. THE BEST COVERAGE WILL MAINLY BE DURING THE LATE AFTERNOONS AND EVENINGS. NOW RAINFALL TOTALS LOOKING IMPRESSIVE THROUGH THE WEEKEND INTO NEXT WEEK, ONE TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN ESPECIALLY FOUND INLAND. SO WE’LL CONTINUE TO TWEAK RAINFALL TOTALS. BUT THIS WOULD BE BENEFICIAL RAIN WHEN IT COMES TO OR EXTREME DROUGHT. SO ANYTHING THAT CAN HELP US OUT AS WE CONTINUE WITH THIS EARLY PART OF THE RAINY SEASON IN THE BIG PICTURE TRACKING THE TROPICS. THERE IS NOTHING TO MONITOR OUT THERE OVER THE NEXT 7 DAYS. TROPICAL DEVELOPMENTS STILL NOT EXPECTED AS ALWAYS. THIS TIME OF YEAR, THOUGH, WE ARE CLOSELY MONITORING AREAS NEAR THE WESTERN CARIBBEAN OFF OF EVEN FLORIDA’S EAST COAST WILL BE WATCHING IN THE GOLF. THESE ARE THE HOT SPOTS FOR DEVELOPMENT WHEN WE HEAD INTO JUNE. NOW, THE FIRST NAME ON THE LIST WE’LL BE ARTHUR WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP YOU UPDATED. IN THE MEANTIME, THOUGH, IT IS ALL ABOUT THE RAIN THIS WEEK AND WE STILL NEEDED THURSDAY. LOOKING TO BE THE DAY WITH THE HIGHER COVERAGE HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND AS WELL. AGAIN, NOT A WASHOUT, BUT YOU WILL NEED THE UMBRELLA HANDY MANY DAYS L
