Soggy Weekend?

Posted by Phil Ferro

It was a damp start to our Friday due to the remnants of a front that has stalled out over Lake Okeechobee as well as a large area of showers and isolated thunderstorms that has been making its way to our area from the Bahamas. We may be on the quiet side tonight, however, there is still a possibility of showers and thunderstorms as a result of a notable trough moving in from the Yucatan Peninsula which is expected to bring more moisture through the weekend. Even though we are not expected to have a complete wash out, do not forget your umbrellas at home as we may be welcoming the fall with a high chance of rain.

As for the tropics, Nadine has now been downgraded to a subtropical storm that continues moving south-southeast at approximately 13 mph. The tropical storm warning for The Azores has been discontinued and Nadine is expected to have very little motion as it is caught in light steering currents.

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.

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.

Our Weekend Warm-up

Get ready for a "Feels-like" summer weekend. We'll see a little of everything:

Heat Humidity Sunshine And some afternoon storms Expect temps to reach the upper 80's (Typical is 87°) both Saturday and Sunday. And of course, there will be a chance for showers and inland storms as well.

Good-bye mild weather:

I hope you've enjoyed our recent mild temps teamed up with drier air. A dome of warm air will push the mercury readings into the ballpark of our 87° average over the next couple of days. A cold front sweeping to the north will add more clouds to the scenery with a slight chance of isolated showers and thunderstorms into next week.
