SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) — Saturday brought cool conditions across the area, partly due to lingering cloud cover. Highs at SRQ reached only 78°. More sunshine is expected Sunday, with temperatures climbing into the low 80s. Dry air settling over Florida’s upper atmosphere means no rain in the forecast — living up to our nickname, The Sunshine State.
At the beaches, skies will stay sunny with a High UV Index, so unprotected skin could burn in as little as 30 minutes. The rip current risk is low, though beachgoers are advised to check flags at lifeguard stations. Winds remain from the north at 10–15 mph.
Boating Forecast
Boaters can expect calmer winds Sunday, still out of the north at 10–15 knots, with moderate chop and 2–4 foot seas. These conditions should continue into the early part of the week.
Tropical Outlook
Tropical Storm Jerry dissipated on Saturday, while another system — Invest 97L — is producing a broad area of disorganized thunderstorms in the central tropical Atlantic. The disturbance is expected to remain over open water, with a 50% chance of developing into a tropical storm within the next seven days.
