Strong To Severe Storms
The National Weather Service sent out some information about our afternoon forecast.We could see some strong to severe weather take a look:
There is the potential for isolated severe thunderstorms across South FL this afternoon/evening, given the fact that we have a very unstable atmosphere...more than typical. So it's warm below and cold aloft and with sun/strong heating today, we expect pulse strong to severe thunderstorm development.
Potential thunderstorm impacts:
-Damaging winds of 60-70 mph
-Large hail
-Isolated street flooding
We expect the strongest storms to occur in the 2-7 PM timeframe.
This risk covers all of South FL because the steering winds are weak, so movement will be slow and erratic.
In tropics we are still watching Nadine. As of the 11 am advisory Nadine has strengthened to a hurricane for the second time. The forecast cone does have this system by the middle part of next week very close to the Azores.
Be Safe!

It shouldn't come as a surprise, (but yes) the start of the south Florida "rainy season" has begun! According to the National Weather Service, the start date officially began on Saturday May 18, close to the median start of May 20. Our rainy season lasts for 5-months, ending around the third week of October.
Still On Flood Watch

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.

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.
