Hot & Hazy......

Posted by

Say goodbye to the wet and stormy weather. South Florida is in for a big change all thanks to an area of high pressure moving in from the Western Atlantic. This area of high pressure will provide for a dry stable atmosphere which will allow for an abundant amount of sunshine to heat us up. Highs are forecasted in the lower 90's with " feels like" temperatures anywhere from 100°-105°.  With heat like this its important you stay hydrated and take breaks inside air conditioned buildings. You will notice a bit of a haze around today and tonight. That haze is Saharan dust that will move in from the western Atlantic today and will remain in place until Friday. This weather pattern will keep our rain chances down as we lead into the weekend.
 
 
Stay cool,

Tropical depression Two made landfall over Belize Monday night, with gusty winds and heavy rain. The main threat over the next day or so over Belize, Northern Honduras, Southern Yucatan and Guatemala will be rain. Flash flooding over mountainous areas will be likely as 6 inches of rain are expected in the next 48 hours.

Low rain chance for now

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

Dad's day weekend was nice if you had outdoor activities planned and the start of the week is just the same. A low rain chance is expected on this Monday. We have a strong area of high pressure in control and if we see any showers or storms they will form well inland due to an East-Southeast breeze. However, seasonal chances are expected from Tuesday through Thursday. Originally the thinking was that we were going to tap into some tropical moisture associated with a disturbance (tropical wave) in the Northwestern Caribbean Sea, but it seems like the majority of it will be suppressed to the South. We will be monitoring moisture levels carefully. For now, only a 30-40% chance of rain is expected through Thursday.

Sunny & Hot Father's Day Weekend

Posted by Phil Ferro

Looking like summer and feeling like summer.

Summer doesn't begin for another week or so, but it sure feels like it. We are expecting mostly sunny conditions both Saturday and Sunday with highs in the low 90's, and only a slight chance for inland rain every day.  Wishing all the great Dads a very wonderful Father's Day!!!

Summer-like for the Weekend

Summer-like pattern for the Weekend

The spotty rain and rumbling thunderstorms over South Florida on Thursday afternoon have died down, but we could still see an isolated thunderstorm or two Thursday night. The southerly air flow that is pumping in tropical moisture will shift gears as a front passes through north Florida into the next couple of days. This will bring a surge of warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico sparking a warming trend. Friday will bring near record heat teamed up with chances of late morning and afternoon storms. This will also be the case for Father's Day weekend before better chances of storms at the start of the work week.
