“On the futurecast for the Southeast, expect a blend of weather conditions as a system moves through. Tomorrow, Thursday, light rain showers are anticipated farther north, impacting areas from Charlotte to Atlanta by the afternoon. The cold front will drive these showers eastward, with Jacksonville to Savannah seeing precipitation by late afternoon. While severe weather is not the main focus, keep an eye on possible gusty winds. Temperatures will remain mild behind the system, making for a cool start to the weekend.”
The UV index in Miami will reach an extremely high level of 10 on both Thursday and Friday. This indicates a very strong risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure. The estimated burn time in direct sunlight is as short as 12 minutes. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen, sunglasses, and protective clothing to stay safe under these intense conditions.
