Tropical Moisture

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

A weak stretched out low in the Gulf of Mexico continues to draw in clouds and some passing light to moderate showers across South Florida. We will see more of the same for Monday. Look for coastal showers early morning and isolated inland storms in the afternoon.  

By Tuesday, an area of low pressure in the Gulf of Mexico will merge with a front by Louisiana. This front will enter North Florida and our steering winds will change out of the Southwest bringing in additional tropical moisture. Therefore, as the front washes out over Central Florida Wednesday a good chance of rain will be in the forecast.

Tropical Update:

1) Nadine weakens to a tropical storm expected to move through the Azores between Thursday and Friday. By then it could be downgraded to a tropical depression.  

2) Broad area of low pressure located 300 miles East of the Lesser Antilles is producing minimal shower and thunderstorm activity. This one has a low chance to develop as it moves through the Caribbean where there is an area of high wind shear. On Sunday it has been bringing squally weather to the Lesser Antilles.

3) A weak surface low pressure is located in the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. The National Hurricane Center is giving it a low chance to develop before it merges with a front on Tuesday. This one together with the front will bring a lot of rain to the Gulf coast states.

Have a wonderful work week South Florida and make it a safe one!

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. 

Seasonal Weekend Heat

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.
