Late Summer Lull

Posted by Brent Cameron

These days are sometimes called the "dog days of summer" ... due to lingering sultry weather as the summer season drags on.   Of course, we're still in the Rainy Season, too, and heading into the heart of hurricane season!  

During the weekend, many locations across south Florida picked up significant rain.   It even included a record rainfall in Miami (on Saturday).  Moisture levels have dropped slightly over the past 24 hours but the decrease isn't very noticeable. 

As the early week continues, storms will tend to target spots that are well inland.  The developing sea breezes will merge over interior south Florida... sparking times of thunder over the Everglades and interior regions again on Tuesday.

Looking toward the middle of the week, then, we'll be watching the proximity of a tropical wave that's crossing the Caribbean.  The wave itself is expected to remain south of Cuba.   However, the associated moisture may try to move in our direction.  If the excess moisture arrives here, we'll see more cloud cover with higher rain and storm chances (both Wednesday and Thursday).

The tropics are behaving nicely, for now.  There are no organized systems and the potential for anything new... remains low.

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

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.
