Rainy Weekend... Tropcis Staying Busy

Posted by

Locally we are expecting the clouds to build with a better chance of showers and storms across South Florida. The rain in our forecast is due to a Tropical Wave moving in from the Bahamas. This will bring a chance of widespread showers across the area today and sticking around for the weekend. Some storms could produce heavy downpours and gusty winds. Keep the rain gear handy!!

In the tropics:

The last advisory is out on Ernesto that is dissipating over southern Mexico. Heavy rain continues to soak parts of Mexico.

T.D. 7 is moving faster to the west and all eyes will be on Windward and Leeward Islands. This system is 775 miles east of the Windward Islands. The system has winds sustained at 35 mph as its moving west at 23 mph.

And the last area is a tropical wave associated with a low off the coast of Africa that has a 50% chance of development in the next 48 hours.

Keep it tuned to the Storm Station for the latest this weekend,

Still On Flood Watch

Posted by Phil Ferro

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.

Flood Watch

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.

Signs of Summer

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.
