Saharan dust is back! That will help limit rain chances to the isolated range through the weekend.

Here is your forecast for Thursday, June 5th, 2025.

Recent rainfall helped our drought conditions significantly!

Now get ready for a hot weekend ahead and great beach weather!

Weather-wise, at the surface high pressure is taking control, which means our rain chances will be driven by daytime heating and a sea breeze. That's why isolated showers and storms are forecast east of I-75 Friday through the weekend.

Of note, the Saharan Air Layer is back! This is common from mid-June through mid-August. Not only can the dry, dusty air one to three miles overhead limit tropical development, it can also limit storm activity as well. That's another reason rain chances will be lower this weekend. You may also notice exceptionally vivid sunsets and sunrises through the weekend!

Temperatures will stay hot in the low to mid-90s, feeling more like 100-105° with the humidity.

Heading into early next week, that Saharan dust retreats away from Florida, allowing our higher rain chances to return into the "likely" range by Tuesday.
