The Heat Is On....
Expect another hot and humid day. Typical summertime sea breeze storms will be possible later in the day. Highs are forecasted in the lower 90's with "feels like" temperatures into the triple digits.
Lets talk tropics:
The first area is a tropical wave producing plenty of rain over Puerto Rico and Hispaniola. If this wave hold forecast models show this tropical moisture increasing our rain chances as early as Friday. You've heard Chief Meteorologist Phil Ferro and I say "Tropical Waves" are one of the most difficult weather features to forecast as they could strengthen one moment and fall apart the next! Stay tuned.
The other area we are watching as well as the NHC is a weak area of low pressure that has a 20% chance of becoming a tropical cyclone in the next few days.This is a very weak low located 1150 miles W/SW of the Cape Verde Islands.The disorganized showers and storms associate with the weak low will continue to move westward.
Stay tuned to the Storm Station for the latest,

It shouldn't come as a surprise, (but yes) the start of the south Florida "rainy season" has begun! According to the National Weather Service, the start date officially began on Saturday May 18, close to the median start of May 20. Our rainy season lasts for 5-months, ending around the third week of October.
Still On Flood Watch

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.

Almost 9 inches of rain have been reported in portions of South Florida in the last 12-15 hours. Street flooding of urban areas due to poor drainage and saturated soils with additional rains expected today will make streets impassible. Therefore, the National Weather Service has a flood watch in effect for coastal and metro Broward and Miami-Dade until 10pm.
Severe Weather Expected

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.
