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!

Feeling the HEAT

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

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

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

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

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

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.

Sunny & Hot Father's Day Weekend

Posted by Phil Ferro

Looking like summer and feeling like summer.

Summer doesn't begin for another week or so, but it sure feels like it. We are expecting mostly sunny conditions both Saturday and Sunday with highs in the low 90's, and only a slight chance for inland rain every day.  Wishing all the great Dads a very wonderful Father's Day!!!
