More Moisture Expected

Posted by Phil Ferro

The day began with Cloudy skies and a few showers through out South Florida. We continue to be under the influence of deep layered tropical moisture associated with cloudiness that is moving northeastward from the Yucatan Peninsula through South Florida. There is a lot of available moisture that is spreading through our region and this unstable pattern may persist until at least Friday possibly bringing afternoon showers our way. Clouds will continue to move in our direction with upper clouds from the SW producing hazy skies and our lower clouds developing courtesy of the surface winds coming in from the ocean.

There is a brand new area of disturbed weather in the Atlantic about 650 miles east northeast of the Leeward Islands. This system has low opportunities of becoming a tropical cyclone as winds are not favorable for development. As for Nadine, it continues to leave its mark in the Atlantic where it is slowly moving towards the south-southwest at approximately 5 mph. There are no watches or warning in effect as Nadine is far from any land and is expected to continue moving over open waters.

Still On Flood Watch

Posted by Phil Ferro

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.

Severe Weather Expected

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

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.
