Good Friday

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:39:59 GMT

It will be a good Friday, so enjoy the nice sunshine and warmth while we have it. The pattern will change heading into the weekend. If you have Easter egg hunts/activities happening on Sunday, get them done early. We will have morning sunshine followed by afternoon storms developing inland and pushing towards the coast due to steering winds out of the West. We will have nearby fronts and a series of lows to lead into a soggy stretch early next week. However, the timing and extent of how much rain we will get remains uncertain. Model guidance keeps going back and fourth on how much rain we will receive, but certainly trending wetter. The European model maintains a front over South Florida providing for heavier pockets of rain increasing our flood risk. However, the American model places the front to our South with less rain in the forecast until mid-week rolls around. Either way, count on wetter conditions next week.Have a wonderful weekend South Florida and make it a safe one! Vivia...

ASK IRA: Was Thursday in Philadelphia a tease or the real Heat?

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:39:59 GMT

Q: That was amazing. Where has this team been all year? – Matthew.A: It has been in a place that when the opposition plays with more desperation, the Heat all too often have failed to meet that desperation. The 76ers entered Thursday locked into No. 3 in the East, no matter what they did in their final three games. And they played like it. The Heat entered with far more at stake, and played like it. The problem for the Heat has been facing teams with equal desperation. That will change as soon as a potential Tuesday play-in opener. Win that type of game, and then you could talk about statements. Thursday was about one team with a playoff ticket punched and the other team scrambling, perhaps futilely, to get there. Soon enough for the Heat it will be desperation vs. desperation.Q: I’m a Heat fan since forever. I want the team to play against the Celtics and get revenge from last year. It’s Jimmy Butler time. – Jurgis.A: And it might well come to be. But first ...
