Stifling Conditions Set In
The air in Nocatee is currently thick with moisture, creating an oppressively humid environment that feels heavier than the actual temperature suggests. Right now, the thermometer reads 82F, but the combination of heat and humidity pushes the feels-like temperature up to 94F. Relative humidity sits at a saturated 94%, with a dew point of 81F indicating very little relief from the muggy conditions.
Light rain and fog or mist are currently obscuring visibility, while winds blow at 13 mph with gusts reaching 7 mph.
Storms and Heat Ahead
Today will remain mostly cloudy with a high near 89F. Temperatures are expected to drop slightly to around 82F in the afternoon, but the heat index will climb as high as 100 due to the persistent humidity. Southeast winds will hover around 10 mph.
There is a 61% chance of precipitation today, with showers and thunderstorms likely throughout the day. Residents might see new rainfall amounts between a tenth and a quarter of an inch.
