It’s Thunderstorms-Lite Sunday, then more widespread rain during the week
SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) - Saturday storms were few, but still with a few downpours. Ward Lake, on the east side of Bradenton, picked up over an inch (1.14″), the east side of Sarasota almost a half inch (0.48″) while SRQ stayed dry. We’ll see a few isolated storms again Sunday. A large area of dust from the Sahara moves overhead today. That could give us a hazy overcast and thunderstorms might not be as widespread as they would be without the dry dust layer overhead, but we will still see some thunderstorm activity. Fortunately, the dust will keep the tropics quiet for several days. As the dust layer dissipates during the workweek, a small disturbance in the upper atmosphere moves over Florida. That disturbance could make afternoon and evening storms more widespread during the week ahead.

WHATEVER IT TAKES: Pemburlin's dedication to Keys sports rewarded in invitation to Cooperstown
In the late 1980s, when Kevin Pemburlin chose to begin his officiating career, he made a pact with himself to do whatever was necessary to ensure the kids could play the game. “I can remember a couple of games, even back in the early ‘80s, being canceled due to a lack of officials, and once I decided I was going to officiate, I made up my mind I was going to do everything I could do to keep that from happening,” said Pemburlin, who now,...
