OCALA, FL (352today.com) – The weather will contribute to the Monday blahs with the chance of rain and perhaps some rumbles of thunder.
But once you get past Monday, the remainder of the workweek should put a smile on your face. The high temp later in the week will climb into the mid-70s.
Dry, sunny and 70s… who can ask for anything more? Eat your heart out Alaska.
Monday also marks the start of severe weather awareness week in Florida, a time to inform you about the natural hazards we face and what you can to do prepare for them or how to protect yourself from danger. Monday’s focus is lightning.
