The FBI made an arrest on Thursday in its nearly 5-year-old investigation into pipe bombs placed outside the headquarters of the Republican and Democratic national parties in Washington on the eve of the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol.
Growing up in South Florida, Peta Sherwood was intrigued by the ever-changing weather, including sea breeze storms and the development of tropical systems.
Her passion for weather storytelling grew, leading her to gain a Bachelor of Science in Telecommunication News with a minor in Geography from the University of Florida while obtaining a certificate in Meteorology and Climatology. She then received her Master of Science in Geoscience from Mississippi State University.
Her journey took her far from the familiar coast of Miami to the heart of the Midwest – Lincoln and Omaha, Nebraska. Treading into a new world of blizzards and braving severe storms, including tornadoes, Peta gained an in-depth understanding of convective complex storm systems. Peta then worked with WRAL News in Raleigh, North Carolina. The active weather patterns across the South provided new experiences, including tracking hurricanes.
Peta is eager to share her knowledge with the community that shaped her into the meteorologist she is today.
Sunday evening will bring calm winds and mostly clear conditions across South Florida. Temperatures by Monday morning will drop into the upper 60s. Inland areas may see patches of dense fog, so drivers traveling along I-75 should use caution.
Dry and seasonable weather will persist into the beginning of the workweek. Winds from the northwest will gradually shift to the east. Morning temperatures in the low to mid-60s will warm into the lower 80s. Monday’s weather is expected to be similar to Sunday’s.
After a spectacular weekend across South Florida, we will round out the weekend with a few showers lifting from the Keys into Miami-Dade and Broward Counties.
Tropical Depression Nine was set to become Tropical Storm Imelda, and Hurricane Humberto strengthened into a Category 5. Both are tracked to turn northbound and away from South Florida.
After rounds of soaking storms across Broward County that produced up to 3 inches of rainfall, lingering evening showers will give way to clouds overnight.
After rounds of soaking rain during the first half of the day, drier conditions are expected this evening. Key West recorded just over 2 inches of rainfall today, and more rain is expected Sunday.
