Hazy Days, Again?

Posted by Brent Cameron

Another large batch of haze is heading toward south Florida.   This drier-type air will at least limit the development of daily storms... over the next few days.   As we get deeper into the week, though, we're likely to see more moisture and rounds of storms. 

Since rain chances are lower (for the time being) temperatures will soar.  Expect hot highs that will range from the lower 90s at the coast to the middle 90s, well inland.  Our wind flow is light and the lack of a noticeable breeze will also make for a set of steamy days.

As the week continues, we will closely be monitoring a particular feature in the Tropics.  It's a low pressure area that seems to be on the verge of developing into the season's next Depression or Storm.  Most of the forecast models show the area forming during the early week... then moving west toward the Caribbean Islands.  Hurricane hunter's have a mission scheduled for Tuesday afternoon, to get a closer look at the disturbance.   There's general agreement on the track over the next 2 or 3 days, but after that, speculation differs.  Steering winds may take the system in the vicinity of Puerto Rico and Hispaniola... and it will be necessary to see if it makes landfall or is impacted by higher terrain.   If the disturbance can survive and grow, we could see some related impacts as early as this weekend.  Stay tuned!

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.
