Summer Summer Summer Time....
I know you all know that song by Will Smith. Locally that's what we are expecting in our forecast. A typical summer- time pattern. This will provide for a ridge of high pressure to dominate our weather pattern stretching from the Western Atlantic to the Gulf of Mexico. This is will allow for steamy sunshine and temperatures to soar to the lower 90's with "feels like" temperatures well into the triple digits. The only chance for showers will be once the sea breeze develops. This will be our forecast as we end the week as well.
In the tropics we are keeping our eyes on an area of low pressure that is located 715 miles E/SE of Bermuda. The National Hurricane Center is giving this area an 80%chance of tropical cyclone development in the next 48 hours. If it does develop it would be T.D. 8 or T.S. Gordon, once again the models show it staying over the Atlantic. It will NOT BE a threat to land!!!!!
Have a great day, stay hydrated!

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.

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.
