The same upper-level high pressure that is keeping, and pushing, Hurricane Grace well south of us is also causing breezy conditions and dangerously high heat index values through at least the first half of the weekend, with little to no rain expected.
Hurricane Grace is nearing category two hurricane strength as it nears Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula.
In a 5 pm update, the US National Hurricane Centre (NHC) said Grace has maximum sustained winds that are near 80 mph (130 km/h) with higher gusts.
