More Hazy Days

Posted by Brent Cameron

You may feel a bit of "deja vu" in the days ahead.  Just like 1-week ago, we're getting the arrival of significant African Dust.   This large shield of drier air (known as "Saharan Air") originated thousands of miles ago, from the desert lands of Africa.  Since then, it has remained suspended... high in the sky... while getting pushed across the entire Atlantic Ocean.  You'll detect the difference in our sky as hazy weather is likely.  As we saw last week, the change in air will keep mostly dry conditions around, too.  Even though we're in the Rainy Season, it simply won't seem like it! 

The weather map shows a building ridge of high pressure that expands across Florida.  The high is actually controlling most of the region, extending from the western Atlantic into the Gulf of Mexico.   This type of pattern is highlighted by sinking air that is generally stable.  This, of course, is in complete contrast to what we had on Sunday and Monday... which involved rising air and deeper moisture. 

The hot and hazy weather will continue through the rest of the week. 

There is some activity in the tropics.  It's an area of low pressure that's currently spinning over the north central Atlantic.  The disturbance has a slight chance of developing, but regardless, it will only be an issue for the shipping lanes.  By the way, its potential for developing is only for another day or two... before it reaches cooler waters.

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

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

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.
