Warming up and humidity on the rise

SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) - Look for some changes as we head into the rest of the work week. The heat index or “feels-like” temperatures will be in the mid to upper 90s by Thursday. The humidity climbs across Manatee and Sarasota counties as winds shift to the east and southeast. First Alert Chief Meteorologist Bob Harrigan says.Wednesday still looks great — upper 80s, great beach weather. East-northeast winds 5-10 mph bring just a touch of moisture.Thursday and Friday turn oppressive, with highs around 90 and 90 and afternoon rain chances increasing. Best rain chance comes late Friday into Friday night and into early Saturday morning as a frontal boundary moves in. Harrigan is leaning on the European model, which brings a front through our area this weekend, dropping humidity Saturday-Sunday. The GFS keeps tropical air in place and keeps the front to our north or right over the top of us.Weekend turns breezy to windy. Gusts 30-35 mph by Sunday could trigger boating advisories both on Satu
