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,

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. 

Low rain chance for now

Dad's day weekend was nice if you had outdoor activities planned and the start of the week is just the same. A low rain chance is expected on this Monday. We have a strong area of high pressure in control and if we see any showers or storms they will form well inland due to an East-Southeast breeze. However, seasonal chances are expected from Tuesday through Thursday. Originally the thinking was that we were going to tap into some tropical moisture associated with a disturbance (tropical wave) in the Northwestern Caribbean Sea, but it seems like the majority of it will be suppressed to the South. We will be monitoring moisture levels carefully. For now, only a 30-40% chance of rain is expected through Thursday.

Sunny & Hot Father's Day Weekend

Looking like summer and feeling like summer.

Summer doesn't begin for another week or so, but it sure feels like it. We are expecting mostly sunny conditions both Saturday and Sunday with highs in the low 90's, and only a slight chance for inland rain every day.  Wishing all the great Dads a very wonderful Father's Day!!!

Summer-like for the Weekend

Summer-like pattern for the Weekend

The spotty rain and rumbling thunderstorms over South Florida on Thursday afternoon have died down, but we could still see an isolated thunderstorm or two Thursday night. The southerly air flow that is pumping in tropical moisture will shift gears as a front passes through north Florida into the next couple of days. This will bring a surge of warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico sparking a warming trend. Friday will bring near record heat teamed up with chances of late morning and afternoon storms. This will also be the case for Father's Day weekend before better chances of storms at the start of the work week.
