Not as windy, Not as Wet...

Posted by Brent Cameron

After days of downpours and strong winds, our local weather is quieting down.   Of course, we're still in the thick of the Rainy Season so there could be some showers popping-up on occasion... just not as frequently!  If you're making plans for the late-week and weekend, expect only random showers around. 

On the large scale, a huge swath of drier air has been building-in behind the former Tropical Storm known as Debby.  What's left of the disturbance continues to push away from Florida, after leaving our state drenched since last weekend!    By the way, the last advisory was written on Debby (as a tropical entity) at 5 pm on Wednesday.   The remnants will continue moving toward the northern Atlantic, but it's unlikely to get reorganized, on its current path. 

Elsewhere in the tropics, we're watching a spin in the central Atlantic Ocean.  For now, it has a very low chance of developing (at least over the next few days).  Historically, it's in a region that's more "tropically active" LATER into the season.  We'll continue to watch it, and there's plenty of time to monitor the wave as it gradually approaches the Lesser Antilles. 

Here at home, expect high pressure to be our general weather-maker.   In the coming days, the high pressure area will overspread the region from the north and west (moving into the Gulf of Mexico).   Some limited showers and storms may flare-up along the daily sea breeze.  Otherwise, since wind speeds will be much lighter, it will feel hotter than it has in recent weeks!

Barry and the Wave

Posted by Brent Cameron

Wasn't there a musical group called Katrina and the Waves?  (I'm really dating myself by remembering them, I know).  Well, right now... in the tropics... we have Barry and a wave!   Tropical Storm Barry formed on Wednesday afternoon, becoming the Atlantic season's second named system.  The center of Barry will be moving into Mexico on Thursday with widespread rain over the southern states of Mexico.  At this point, it's a low-end tropical storm that's forecast to make landfall just north of Veracruz, Mexico. 

The HEAT Continues

The "HEAT" Continues South Florida. High temperatures expected to range in the low 90s with the feel's like temperatures in the triple digits. Summer officially starts on Friday and we've been feeling the "HEAT" for a while now. This is due to steamy winds from the South as there is an area of high pressure centered in the Western Atlantic Ocean extending into the Gulf of Mexico. As far as rain chances are concerned, we will have typical chances each afternoon through Friday of seeing spotty inland storms. By the weekend, we could be dealing with a few more showers, but still feeling the Summer "HEAT." Temperature reading will be normal.

Super Moon

It's back. The Super-Moon. It will take place this Friday at moonrise. Hopefully Mother nature will cooperate. There is a slight chance for showers on Friday. The moon should rise at 6:30pm.

Feeling the HEAT

We are going to be feeling the Heat once again this afternoon. Summer officially begins on Friday and wouldn't you know it... it's started a few weeks early for us with temperature reading a few degrees above where we should be for this time of year. The weather so far has been great and outside of a spotty inland storm today and Thursday that is basically it. On Friday, we could see some more moisture around.
