High Pressure Builds

Posted by Phil Ferro

South Florida welcomed the fall season this past weekend with very soggy weather due to a nearby tropical wave that was located to our west as well as deep tropical moisture that continues to slowly make its way here. For the past few days, we have been under the influence of a front that has stalled over our area and doesn't seem to be going anywhere just yet.There is still a possibility for Isolated showers and thunderstorms due to the area of moisture still present over South Florida. However, moisture levels are expected to drop as the frontal boundary fizzles out by Wednesday and high pressure to our north moves in on Thursday.

In the tropics we continue to track tropical storm Nadine which continues moving towards the west at about 7 mph with maximum sustained winds near 50 mph. There are no watches or warning associated with this storm as it continues to move over open waters.

Nice, for Now

So here we are... 1-week into our south Florida rainy season and 1-week away from the official start the Hurricane Season (for the Atlantic).   It's a holiday weekend and (not surprisingly) it's often fraught with stormy conditions here.  Instead, though, we're catching a big break!  Drier air has returned and even the humidity has "backed down" for the time being.

Memorial day Weekend

Memorial Day Weekend   Memorial Day weekend has become the unofficial start of summer, but its true meaning is to remember the service men and women who gave their lives for our nation. So as you are enjoying the freedoms they died for.... say a little prayer for them this Monday.   

White Hot Long Weekend

A white hot day is underway... Today we will have a very similar situation with high temperatures reaching the low 90s. However, it will feel hotter because the humidity levels are high. Record heat is possible in Miami. The forecast is calling for a high of 92 degrees, old record is 94 set back in 1989.
