Changes Coming to this Week’s Weather

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:43:57 GMT

Some big changes our ahead to our weather pattern this week in South Florida, and it’s mainly about the return of the breeze! It’s been a stagnant and hot summer but with a stronger breeze in place much of this week with sustained winds near 10-20 mph, that will allow for more bearable conditions when it comes to temperatures. Temperatures all week long will hover near 92-93F in Miami after today.This Sunday, we’ll remain under the influence of a departing tropical wave, which is now located over the Gulf of Mexico. Moisture continues to get drawn in from the Atlantic behind this wave, so that will feed in rounds of quick-moving showers and storms at any time today and tonight. Just like we saw on Saturday, it won’t be a washout but there will be that random risk for seeing rain.Now starting Monday, some drier air will start to come in from the Atlantic, and this entire week will feature bouts of drier air filtering into South Florida with high pressure in co...

Solid Summer Sunday

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:43:57 GMT

Well, the lower humidity was apparent yesterday, but unfortunately, the early morning sunshine didn’t last long as clouds filled back in, and stubbornly stuck around. Highs maxed out in the mid to upper 70s. The low humidity kicks off today as well, this time, more or the sunshine does stick around. Although, with that said, we’ll have some clouds mix in as well as some wildfire smoke, allowing for a hazy appearance to the sky at times. It’s not near surface smoke, so I don’t expect it to have a significant impact on air quality. Enough sun gets through to push temps in the lower to mid 80s this afternoon. Humidity does go up tomorrow, and it’ll be very warm with highs in the mid to upper 80s. A few isolated late afternoon/early evening showers/storms are possible (Mainly after 4pm). About 20-30% of us will pick up on one. Those isolated storms are ahead of a cold front that’ll drop temps and humidity by Tuesday morning. Tuesday – Thursday, ...

8 dates to watch for on the Chicago Bulls’ 2023-24 schedule, including Victor Wembanyama’s United Center debut and a tough final stretch

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:43:57 GMT

The Chicago Bulls kick off the 2023-24 season with a home game against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Oct. 25, then host the Toronto Raptors two days later before embarking on their first trip of the year.Last season’s opener took a left turn for the Bulls when Zach LaVine was named a late scratch due to load management — which LaVine and coach Billy Donovan insisted was planned in the preseason — as he eased back from a left knee injury. LaVine went on to record one of the strongest seasons of his career, and he’ll need to improve upon that performance after the Bulls retained the majority of their roster to focus on their maximum-contract star.The focus of the home opener likely will land on who nabbed the starting point guard job — perhaps new signing Jevon Carter, who joined the Bulls from the Milwaukee Bucks. Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu also will be vying for the position.Here are some key dates for the season.Nov. 3: First game of the In-Season Tourn...
