Pockets of Storms
After getting soaked this morning, we are seeing a break from the showers but it wont last for long. The forecast calls for afternoon scattered storms once the sea breeze develops. Some of these storms could produce some heavy rain and gusty winds. The showers and storms will move slow so flooding could be a concern. There are several features also providing for the added instability in our atmosphere. One is an area of low pressure located in the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico merging into a cold front that is headed east. And the second is our ocean breeze. This breeze will help steer any showers that develop of the Western Atlantic into Miami-Dade and Broward.
In the tropics we are watching Tropical Storm Nadine as it continues to move east- northeast towards the Azores. The forecast cone has this system affecting the Azores as a tropical storm or depression by the end of the week.
Keep those umbrella's handy!

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

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.

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.
