Fort Pierce - Friday August 11, 2023: This week on In Focus, with IRSC Public Media, it’s the weather. Soaring feel like temperatures are creating dangerous conditions. How long will it last and what’s causing it?
Warning Coordination Meteorologist Will Ulrich from the National Weather Service in Melbourne will explain the impact that the warm water surrounding Florida is having on us. And that same warm water has also prompted a revised 2023 Hurricane Season outlook from NOAA. We'll hear the briefing that NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center Director Matthew Rosencrans gave on the updated season outlook. The forecast now calls for an above normal hurricane season.
