Sunday Showers

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

We still have a stretched out low pressure area over the Florida Straits contributing to times of showers and it looks like it will linger through Sunday. In fact, look for more clouds and a decent chance of seeing showers and isolated storms. High temperatures will range in the upper 80s indicating there will be periods of sun... so don't look for Sunday to be terribly bad in the weather department.

As for the upcoming week, the stretched out low pressure moves away into the Gulf of Mexico. However, models continue to indicate that passing showers will be in the forecast everyday.

Tropics Update:

1) Hurricane Nadine is a little stronger with sustained winds at 80mph and it is sharply moving East at 17mph. The intensity forecast keeps it as a category one hurricane through Wednesday of the upcoming week and then weakening into a tropical storm as it moves through the Azores.

2) A broad area of low pressure is producing disorganized showers and storms located 450 miles East of the Windward Islands. This one has a low chance to develop and most of the model runs have it moving into the Caribbean Sea. However, it will have to overcome an area of high wind shear that will keep it check. 

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

It's Official...

It shouldn't come as a surprise, (but yes) the start of the south Florida "rainy season" has begun!   According to the National Weather Service, the start date officially began on Saturday May 18, close to the median start of May 20.  Our rainy season lasts for 5-months, ending around the third week of October. 

Still On Flood Watch

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.

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

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.
