MARION COUNTY, FL (352today.com) – According to the National Weather Service, it’s looking like more of the same pattern we’ve been seeing for weeks will carry us through the weekend.
Rain chances will hover above 50 percent during the day as midday temps rise into the low 90s and the heat index continues to top 100. We’re not yet seeing that nighttime dip into the low 70s or even high 60s that signals the very first inklings of Florida fall, so it’s wise to continue your Sunshine State Summer habits, like staying well hydrated and applying sunscreen regularly.
