Wet Wednesday....
Some areas this morning in east central Miami-Dade saw over an inch to almost two inches of rain sparking a Flood Advisory around the 6 am hour. That advisory expired at 7:45 am but the rain has continued. South Florida is stuck in a rut, surrounded by tropical moisture being steered into our area due to a couple weather features in the atmosphere. We continue to focus on an upper-level low now located near the Yucatan pumping in moisture from the south to the north affect the Florida Keys, Miami-Dade and Broward. Combined that with the afternoon heating, and the sea breeze and this will all help trigger the storms we are forecasting on and off through the day. Some storms could produce heavy rain with strong winds, and with the ground already so saturated flooding could become a big concern. As you have heard me say all week,keep your umbrella's handy!
Even though we have seen plenty of tropical moisture the National Hurricane Center is Not tracking anything!!!
Stay Dry,

Wet and Soggy Work Week
Clouds with hints of sunshine will be the routine over the next couple of days. The push of more warm, moist air will amp up the instability over South Florida tonight bringing a chance for heavy rain. A Flood Watch is in effect for the Miami-Dade and Broward Counties until 10pm. An area of low pressure sweeping to the north will keep a chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms at the start of the weekend.

Lots of rain has been falling in Broward. Areas of Pompano Beach, Margate and Deerfield Beach have already been under an Urban Flood advisory. Additional showers and storms today will produce heavy rain leading localized street flooding, frequent lightning and gusty winds with the activity that forms. Therefore, be sure to pack the patience throughout your afternoon to early evening commute because it will be slowed down by the rain.
