Winds of Change...

Posted by

Locally a very weak front has fallen apart of our area, most of the rain this morning affected the Keys.Once the front crawled through the are it took most of the cloud cover with it. By the afternoon this front will be lingering over the Florida Straits so we are keeping a slight chance for afternoon showers in the forecast. Looking ahead the winds of change will start to occur later tonight and by tomorrow as our winds tonight will be in from the north and by tomorrow we anticipate a northeast to east wind. The ocean breeze is all due to an area of high pressure that is building in from the Mid-Atlantic states toward the Western Atlantic bringing us an ocean breeze in the forecast from the middle to the end of the week.
 
In the tropics:
We have newly formed Tropical Depression Fourteen  located 1210 miles East of the Lesser Antilles. This system has winds sustained at 35mph and is moving to the west at 10mph. This system will NOT be a threat to land. Some strengthening is possible with this system in the next 48 hours and it could become a tropical storm later today or tonight.
 
Tropical Storm Michael is continuing to weaken and is forecasted to become a remnant low later today.
 
And as of 11 am Leslie becomes a Post-Tropical Cyclone as it begins to move away from Newfoundland. Leslie has winds sustained at 70mph and is moving N/NE at 45mph. The 11 am advisory is the last advisory on Leslie.
 
Today is September 11th 2012 and is a day of honoring and remembering those we lost 11 years ago. Thoughts and prayers go out to you all.
 
Have a great day!

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

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

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.

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.
