Saharan Dust & Storms

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

South Florida Saturday is looking pretty nice... We have high pressure in place with Saharan dust around. This is going to keep hazy skies with a strong ocean breeze. There is only a slight chance of seeing isolated storms well inland.

The real change will take place on Sunday when high pressure weakens and the Saharan dust moves away. As this takes place, deep tropical moisture in the Caribbean will get drawn up and increase our rain chance. Right now it is at 50 percent.

On Monday look for lingering tropical moisture and another batch of Saharan dust to settle in by the middle of the week. That batch of dust along with another building area of high pressure will help keep conditions seasonally hot and quiet.

Tropical Update: All is quiet.

Have a wonderful weekend South Florida and make it a safe one!

The HEAT Continues

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

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.

Tropical Depression #2

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.
