Front Stalls

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

A front stalls over North-Central Florida loosing steam. This front at this point in the year does not have enough legs to make it to South Florida and bring a noticeable temperature change. Fronts just don't have the upper-level support (push by the jet stream) to move through. However, give it another month once Fall is in full swing and things will change for South Florida.

What we can expect with this diffuse front over North-Central Florida is warm winds out of the Southwest and times of clouds. Those clouds will occasionally produce some rain and isolated thunderstorms. As long as this front sticks around, we will have a good chance of showers everyday until at Saturday.

By Sunday, an area of high pressure should reinforce itself over the Southeast United States to draw in drier air. This drier air doesn't mean it will be totally dry, but the chance of seeing sea breeze driven showers and storms out West will be there due to an East breeze that will be in place. Therefore, look for a bright sun and a refreshing ocean breeze if your plans take you out to the beach or have you boating on the first official weekend of Fall.

Tropical Update:

1) Tropical Storm Nadine is located about 165 miles South-Southwest of the island of Flores in the Azores. It remains nearly stationary.

2) An area of disturbed weather producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms over the Central Atlantic is being given a low chance to develop. It is located about 850 miles East of Bermuda and moving West at 10mph.

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

Barry and the Wave

Posted by Brent Cameron

Wasn't there a musical group called Katrina and the Waves?  (I'm really dating myself by remembering them, I know).  Well, right now... in the tropics... we have Barry and a wave!   Tropical Storm Barry formed on Wednesday afternoon, becoming the Atlantic season's second named system.  The center of Barry will be moving into Mexico on Thursday with widespread rain over the southern states of Mexico.  At this point, it's a low-end tropical storm that's forecast to make landfall just north of Veracruz, Mexico. 

The HEAT Continues

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

The "HEAT" Continues South Florida. High temperatures expected to range in the low 90s with the feel's like temperatures in the triple digits. Summer officially starts on Friday and we've been feeling the "HEAT" for a while now. This is due to steamy winds from the South as there is an area of high pressure centered in the Western Atlantic Ocean extending into the Gulf of Mexico. As far as rain chances are concerned, we will have typical chances each afternoon through Friday of seeing spotty inland storms. By the weekend, we could be dealing with a few more showers, but still feeling the Summer "HEAT." Temperature reading will be normal.

Super Moon

It's back. The Super-Moon. It will take place this Friday at moonrise. Hopefully Mother nature will cooperate. There is a slight chance for showers on Friday. The moon should rise at 6:30pm.

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.
