Sun Set To Return

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:31:21 GMT

Something special about that spring sunshine and when it goes away, even for a day, is such a buzzkill. Thankfully, the sun is set to return for the next couple of days! Check out the weather map for Wednesday…High Pressure FTW! Now, with that High pressure close by it means a few things…mostly sunny skies…..light winds…and the likelihood of a sea breeze to engage during the afternoon hours. A chilly start to the day with temps bouncing up close to 50 by lunchtime but during the afternoon is when we’ll see the sea breeze do its seabreezy things…Overall, a great early spring day. Now, take a second look at that weather map. Notice the cold front on the left side of the image. That’s sadly a late season arctic front that will usher in much colder temps for Thursday…as seen here on the 3-day forecast:A cold, gusty breeze will be huffing & puffing for the morning and early afternoon hours making it feel even colder. thankfully, these l...

A muddled Miami Heat injury outlook took another turn into the unknown when Jimmy Butler was ruled out at midday for Tuesday night’s game against the Toronto Raptors due to what the team listed as neck soreness.Butler was not at the Heat’s morning shootaround at Scotiabank Arena, apparently after a restless night of sleep following the Heat’s Monday arrival to Toronto.While Butler had missed 15 previous games this season, mostly due to a sore right knee and related injury management, Tuesday marks his first absence since he missed the Heat’s Jan. 24 home victory over the Boston Celtics due to back tightness.
