Flow of Fronts to Usher in Higher Rain Chances

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:40:27 GMT

A more active weather pattern is starting to shape up as a series of fronts continue to track into the Sunshine State, leading to less sun and more clouds and rain.A weak front crossed through during the day yesterday but it was not that strong and going forward, our future fronts won’t contain any significant cooling and instead will have more moisture for rain.Temperatures did drop to near-seasonable values this Friday morning courtesy of an early morning, northerly wind but because it was a weak front that crossed through, winds will quickly flip off the water during the daylight hours and increase in speed. That lead to a dramatic warmup in just less than an hour at Fort Lauderdale in the early hours of the morning!Expect partly sunny to mostly cloudy skies this Friday with a few afternoon and evening showers possible. Temperatures won’t be as warm, reaching the mid 70s.Over the weekend, our next front will begin to arrive from a developing area of low pressure over ...

(CNN) — The Iowa caucuses are still 10 days away, but the first split-screen of the general election is set for Friday, when President Joe Biden touches down in Pennsylvania to warn Americans about the perils of a second Trump presidency and former President Donald Trump ramps up his pre-caucus blitz with a pair of get-out-the-vote rallies in northern Iowa.Biden’s first proper foray into the 2024 campaign fray had initially been scheduled for Saturday, the third anniversary of the January 6, 2021, US Capitol insurrection, but got bumped up, his camp said, because of weather concerns. The speech, to be delivered near the historic Revolutionary War site of Valley Forge, is expected to register as a stark warning about empowering Trump, whom Biden’s campaign views as the most likely GOP nominee – and an existential threat to US democracy.The words and symbolism of George Washington, who commanded his troops during a long winter in Valley Forge, are ex...

Callahan: If Bill Belichick’s time is over, say thank you before goodbye

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:40:27 GMT

Two weeks ago, a reader emailed me on Christmas morning.Before I could pour any coffee or cereal, I opened the message.Oh, good. Hate mail.This reader took exception to my “dislike of Bill Belichick” after the Patriots’ dramatic upset win in Denver. According to him, this disdain rendered me unable to give Belichick proper credit for a team playing hard after it had suffered from a few tough breaks. Those breaks, he claimed, prevented the Pats from winning “four of five more games.”Let’s just say, on four hours of sleep, it felt like being awoken to the sight of Santa stuffing coal in my stocking.So, I took a day to respond, and put almost as much thought into that reply as I do my columns, because words matter. And the words in my columns or film analyses are probably how he knew me. And I knew the words in this reply would reveal much more to him about who I am, and how I feel about Belichick than any article.I hit send. A few hours later, the r...

Russian air defenses downed dozens of Ukrainian drones in occupied Crimea and southern Russia on Friday, officials said, as Kyiv pressed its strategy of targeting the Moscow-annexed peninsula and taking the 22-month war well beyond Ukraine’s borders.Air raid sirens wailed in Sevastopol, the largest city in Crimea, and traffic was suspended for a second straight day on a bridge connecting the peninsula, which Moscow seized illegally a decade ago, with Russia’s southern Krasnodar region. The span is a crucial supply link for Russia’s war effort.The Russian Defense Ministry said its defenses intercepted 36 drones over Crimea and one over Krasnodar, part of an emerging pattern of intensified Ukrainian aerial attacks in recent days.A Ukrainian Neptune anti-ship missile also was destroyed over the northwestern part of the Black Sea, the ministry said.The developments came after three people were injured Thursday night by other Ukrainian rocket and drone attacks on the Russian border city ...
