More rain on the way

Posted by Phil Ferro

We had a spectacular end to the month of September as our weekend shaped up to be a nice one with partly cloudy skies and temperatures that are typical for this time of year. The same can't be said for October as we have welcomed the month with heavy rainfall through out our region due to low pressure that is drawing up deep tropical moisture. Showers continue to develop over the Straits of Florida  which are expected to produce more rounds of heavy rain during the next 24 hours. We will see gradual improvement as the week progresses and slightly drier air attempts to make its way to our area. However, the possibility for scattered showers and thunderstorms remains, especially inland.

Meanwhile in the tropics...

There is an area of showers and thunderstorm activities that is associated with a disturbance located about 525 SW of the Cape Verde Islands. This area of low pressure is better organized today than it was yesterday and because environmental conditions are favorable, the system has a medium chance of developing into a tropical cyclone within the next 48 hours.

Nadine has once again been downgraded to a tropical storm with maximum sustained winds of 65 mph moving towards the south at 5 mph. Tropical storm conditions are possible for the Azores by Wednesday night.
 

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.

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.
