Sun & Storms

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

This weekend promises to have a little bit of everything with sun and storms...

On Saturday look for passing coastal showers and the majority of the day to be rather dry. By the afternoon, we will have repeat performance like on Friday where we saw some strong inland storms form. The storms that do form could produce heavy downpours, gusty winds and lightning. For the most part, look for bright weather at the beaches.

However, everything will change on Sunday as we will be watching the progress of a Westward moving tropical wave in the Caribbean South of Cuba. This wave is loaded with moisture and once it reaches the Yucatan Peninsula, it will be drawing deep tropical moisture our way. The tropical moisture will translate into wetter times.

By Monday, a front will stall over North-Central Florida and just trap that deep tropical moisture over us to provide for unsettled weather through Wednesday. Therefore, look for more rain and clouds to be around.

Tropics Update:

Nadine is still going and going... Going on being at active storm for about 18 days in the Atlantic Ocean. Sustained winds are at 70mph. It is a little weaker this Saturday, but still a system the Azores need to closely watch. The rest of the tropics is quiet.

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

Seasonal Weekend Heat

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.

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.

More heat around the corner

One last mild day:

High pressure will keep us mostly dry under sunny skies and enjoying mild temps for this time of year. You can thank a huge dome of high pressure sitting over us for the lovely conditions. High pressure after all, is your fair-weather friend.
