Isaac Moving Out

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

Sunday turned out to be a day where all of South Florida experienced squally weather due to the outer bands of Isaac. The outer bands brought periods of strong winds up to tropical storm force accompanied with heavy rain.

As Isaac starts to move away, South Florida will be seeing improvements in the weather department. In the meantime, look for it stay cloudy, windy and rainy through Monday. By Tuesday, the wind will turn breezy out of the South and tropical moisture will be less. Only expect to see occasional speedy showers. Once the middle of the week rolls through, our typical summer time pattern will be around as high pressure builds into the region. This should help the sunshine make a comeback and drier weather as well. Only look for inland isolated showers and storms due to the developing sea breeze collisions.

TROPICS: Isaac has now moved into the Southeastern Gulf of Mexico moving through the warmest body of water there... the loop current. As of the 11pm advisory, that forecast calls for Isaac to strengthen rapidly and the center is aiming for New Orleans as a Category Two hurricane. It has actually slowed down its forward movement and expected to make landfall in Louisiana Wednesday evening.

Have a great evening South Florida and make it a safe one. The risk of seeing isolated tornadoes and additional flooding through Monday is high as the air remains unsettled with Isaac nearby in the Gulf of Mexico.

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.
