Hot ..Humid ..With Showers

Posted by

Typical Summer-time pattern in full swing for our local forecast.  We will be hot and humid with a chance of afternoon sea breeze storms.  Highs are forecasted in the lower 90's with "feels like" temperatures well into the triple digits. Not everyone will see showers in the forecast since there is a pocket of dry air showing on the water vapor map to continue to move into South Florida. This dry air in the mid to upper levels of the atmosphere will inhibit any widespread shower activity from developing. You might want to grab your umbrella's just incase you get stuck under one of those showers if your headed to the polls to vote.

The only thing that could increase our rain chances is a tropical wave over the Caribbean. This wave should stay south of us and keep the bulk of the moisture over the Caribbean sea. The National Hurricane Center is watching this area since it is the remnant moisture of Tropical Depression 7 for re-development.They are giving this wave a 20% chance of re-development in the next 48 hours. 

There is one more area in the tropics the National Hurricane Center is watching. It is an area of low pressure located 1050 miles southeast of Bermuda. Environmental conditions are forecasted to become favorable for development over the next couple of days. This low has a 30% chance of tropical cyclone development in the next 48 hours. Regardless of development the models show this system WILL NOT be a threat for land.

Have a great day!

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.
