The system formerly known as Debby is long gone and now we can enjoy nice dry Canadian air for the next several days. Dew points will be slowly coming down today but they will still be on the high side into the afternoon. Look for decreasing clouds and increasing sunshine from west to east on this Saturday. High temperatures will be mostly in the lower 80s. Some warmer spots to the south could push it to 84 or 85 for a high. Dew points will be settling in the upper 50s to lower 60s by the end of the day. We have no issues with showers as the radars are going to be nice and quiet locally for awhile.

The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) highlighted the marginal risk (level 1 out of 5) area on the map below.

Gov. Ron DeSantis has issued a state of emergency in Northeast Florida and across much of the state as a tropical system appears almost certain to develop. The National Hurricane Center said Friday morning that a tropical wave has a 90% chance of developing into at least a tropical depression over the next seven days. Most models show it moving into the Gulf of Mexico and then coming ashore and crossing the state, possibly moving over Northeast Florida.

An end of the heat is in sight for all of the Midwest and Northeast and much of the Southeast before the week comes to an end. Major relief is on the way for the summer swelter that sent temperatures and humidity levels soaring, air conditioners working overtime, and people flocking to beaches and pools in the Midwest and the East. However, AccuWeather meteorologists say that while the humidity will come down in the North, it is likely to stick around in the Southeast.
