🌀 Hurricanes historically ruin Labor Day plans in Florida 🌀

If you’ve lived in Florida for any good amount of time, your plans for the Labor Day holiday have probably included keeping an eye on the tropics or making plans to deal with a hurricane or two. Hey there Insiders! It’s meteorologist Samara Cokinos with you.

Labor Day weekend 2004 was one I will personally never forget. Hurricane Frances was threatening the state right after Charley.

Did you enjoy it? I hope you did!

Hey Insiders! Meteorologist Troy Bridges here!

Now that Harold has died over Texas and Mexico, our moisture is creeping back in. Rain chances have been a little higher for the last couple of days, but listen up! It’s about to get HOT! Expect high temperatures back in the UPPER 90s with lower rain chances. Click here for more on your weekend forecast.

HOT but not BLAZING 🔥

Hey insiders, it’s meteorologist Candace Campos. The summer heat is still on. We have another month and a half before we can even entertain the idea of “cooler” weather.
