Weekend Weather....

Posted by

High pressure will continue to dominate our local weather pattern on this Friday. This will provide for plenty of sunshine allowing highs to reach the lower 90's with "feels like" temperatures well into the triple digits. Where high pressure is located it is providing for an ocean breeze, this breeze could steer in some isolated showers during the day. There may also be the possibility of afternoon sea breeze showers, if they do develop they will be isolated and move away from the metro and coastal areas.

Looking to the weekend, the first half will start off mostly dry and sunny, by Sunday this could change. We are watching a wave near Hispaniola and stretching into the Caribbean Sea. The forecast models show this wave continuing to push west over the next few days. Forecasting waves is very difficult as there are plenty of elements that could affect the moisture before it makes its way to South Florida. Tropical waves can strengthen one moment then weaken the next! So keep it tuned to the Storm Station as the wave gets closer to see if it will indeed affect our forecast come Sunday! Check out the water vapor map below showing the moisture associated with the wave near Hispaniola

 

Have a great weekend,

Signs of Summer

Posted by Brent Cameron

Recent days have featured higher humidity levels and (like it or not) our steamy air will likely stick around... for a very long time!   The official start of the summer season is a full month away.  Just the same, south Florida appears to be getting our usual "head start" on summer type weather... NOW.

Our Weekend Warm-up

We were spoiled with a mild start to the week as the air was drier and the highs were below normal. Over the next few days, it will be hot with more humidity as we reach seasonal afternoon heat. The dome of warm air that has not budged will bring the peak heat of the upper 80s with a chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms over the next few days.

Good-bye mild weather:

I hope you've enjoyed our recent mild temps teamed up with drier air. A dome of warm air will push the mercury readings into the ballpark of our 87° average over the next couple of days. A cold front sweeping to the north will add more clouds to the scenery with a slight chance of isolated showers and thunderstorms into next week.
