SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) – Today is a First Alert Weather Day for hot and dry conditions on the Suncoast. Afternoon “feels like” temperatures will approach 108 degrees. Air temperatures in Sarasota and Bradenton will be climbing into the lower 90s near the coast and the mid 90s farther inland. With plenty of humidity, causing the hot afternoon conditions. The high heat can be dangerous, and it is important to stay hydrated and take rest breaks in the hottest part of the day.
Most neighborhoods should stay dry, although a stray afternoon storm cannot be ruled out well inland.
The hot, relatively dry pattern will stick around through the workweek and into early next week, although there will be small weekend rain chances. Highs will generally stay in the lower 90s along the beaches and mid 90s inland, with nighttime temperatures only falling into the upper 70s…
