I am tracking a weak cold front set to arrive on Monday with a few isolated storms, but behind the front fire weather threat will increase. This is due to very dry air and gusts 25-30 mph. I wouldn't be shocked if a fire weather watch is issued as early as tomorrow for Tuesday.

WINK Weather Watcher Ken Skelton captured these photos from Bonita Springs showing lots of sargassum washing up on the beach. Sargassum is a type of floating brown seaweed that grows in the open ocean and provides habitat for marine life. When winds and currents push it toward shore, it can wash up in large amounts.

While walking the dozer lines at the Picayune Strand Fire, a fire devil formed right over hot ashes. Extreme heat creates unstable air that can spin into these brief but powerful whirlwinds—another example of how unpredictable wildfires can be. @winknews @nwsmiami

Mind you, everyone has already made it very clear that Marsh shouldn’t hit against lefties. That means your other options were Otto Kemp or Dylan Moore who are combined 2 for 19 this season. None of the right handed bats were good choices. This is a roster construction issue, not a management issue.

Rhea Hughes would not have pinch-hit Alec Bohm for Brandon Marsh in the 8th inning against the Cubs yesterday: "I thought, from a management perspective, that was not a good call by Rob Thomson."

Several air attack helicopters working the Newman Dr Fire. In this video taken a little while ago, you can see them dipping for water in the Seven Shores Development.

Overnight the fire grew about 300 acres in size. More resources are being all in from as far as Central Florida to help contain the blaze.

The fire is very much actively burning tonight. This video was taken about 30 minutes ago by the Marco Patriots group. The fire remains at 1,200 acres and 15%. Tonight as humidity rises and winds decrease firefighters should be able to get a better handle on containment and securing lines. I suspect we will have a better size up of the fire in the morning. The biggest test will be what happens tomorrow as humidity levels drop and temperatures increase.
