Some Changes

Posted by Brent Cameron

On the heels of a sometimes-stormy weekend, the start of the work week will feature some improvement.   Lately, deep tropical moisture has been streaming directly into south Florida making for unsettled conditions.  That moisture is now breaking-up and drier air is arriving. 

High pressure, coming from the western Atlantic Ocean, will be our primary weather-maker on Monday.   Light, southerly winds will still account for a lot of humidity.   Any random storms that flare-up will be from the daily sea breeze boundary... so you may still encounter an isolated storm during the mid-day time frame.  Since moisture levels are dropping, we don't expect numerous storms (like we saw over the weekend). 

The real "wild card" this week involves a weak tropical wave in the Caribbean Sea.  The wave (very disorganized) includes remnants from the former tropical depression 7.   It's moving generally westward and spreading some thunderstorms over several island nations in the Caribbean.  The associated moisture is likely to remain south of Cuba... especially if high pressure holds its ground during the middle of the week.   As a result of the Atlantic high, it's doubtful that we'll tap into much (if any) of the tropical moisture with the wave.   If all goes as planned, the wave and majority of storms will move toward Cuba and extend southward, on Wednesday.

Signs of Summer

Posted by Brent Cameron

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.

Our Weekend Warm-up

We were spoiled with a mild start to the week as the air was drier and the highs were below normal. Over the next few days, it will be hot with more humidity as we reach seasonal afternoon heat. The dome of warm air that has not budged will bring the peak heat of the upper 80s with a chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms over the next few days.

Our Weekend Warm-up

Get ready for a "Feels-like" summer weekend. We'll see a little of everything:

Heat Humidity Sunshine And some afternoon storms Expect temps to reach the upper 80's (Typical is 87°) both Saturday and Sunday. And of course, there will be a chance for showers and inland storms as well.

Good-bye mild weather:

I hope you've enjoyed our recent mild temps teamed up with drier air. A dome of warm air will push the mercury readings into the ballpark of our 87° average over the next couple of days. A cold front sweeping to the north will add more clouds to the scenery with a slight chance of isolated showers and thunderstorms into next week.
