Brighter Times Ahead?

Posted by Brent Cameron

Steady, ongoing sunshine has been a challenge for south Florida in recent days.   In fact, we've been dealing with higher-than-normal rain and storm chances.  The reason?  There's a lot of moisture being pumped-out of the tropical Caribbean waters.  That excess moisture has contributed to our very steamy air and associated heavy downpours.   Looking ahead, we are forecasting a weather change that will unfold from Tuesday into Wednesday.  That change will be highlighted by decreasing moisture and fewer showers (as a result). 

Our weather is under the control of weak high pressure in the western Atlantic.   Additionally, there's much lower pressure to our south (in the Caribbean) and that will contribute to a better breeze.  Winds will continue to arrive from the southeast (mainly) and temperatures will be in the seasonal range. 

The slight drying trend won't hold for too many days.  As we head toward the upcoming weekend, another "moisture surge" could be coming.   If that happens, you can count on increasing showers and storms again.  Stay tuned.

In the Tropics, we're still following Ernesto.  The system is now approaching the northern coast of Belize or Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula.  Ernesto has been slowing down in forward speed, and it may reach hurricane strength prior to landfall... which is expected early Wednesday morning.

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.
