Typical Pattern

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

On Wednesday our typical pattern took place with seasonal temperatures and sea breeze storms. This pattern will be in place through the weekend. In fact, no major changes will take place until early next week.

By Monday, the area of high pressure responsible for our somewhat quiet pattern will weaken. This means our air flow will swing around out of the Southwest to draw up tropical moisture. If the long range models continue to show this pattern, we will need to bump up the rain chances accordingly. Until then, we are looking at early coastal showers and afternoon inland storms with lows near 80 and highs in the low 90s.

Tropical Update:

1) A tropical wave (associated with the remnants of Tropical Depression Seven) is located over Guatemala, Belize and the Yucatan peninsula is producing a lot of heavy rain to the region. The threat for land and mudslides will be possible through Thursday.

2) A well-defined area of low pressure in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean is now Tropical Depression Eight. The system could become Gordon by Thursday before some strong upper-level winds absorb it and take it quickly to the Northern Atlantic waters.

Have a wonderful evening South Florida and make it a safe one!

Severe Weather Expected

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

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

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.
