Dealing with Downpours

Posted by Brent Cameron

So far this week, we've been struggling for sunshine.   Frequent bands of clouds have been streaming northward from Cuba and the Caribbean... covering much of Florida.   Rain has been heavy, at times, due to all of the available tropical moisture.   Additionally, there's a lingering frontal boundary that's nearby and stretched-out (across our state).  The front extends from the southern Gulf of Mexico into the western Atlantic Ocean.   As long as this front hangs around, we'll have a decent amount of instability that will result in more rain. 

There are some pending changes as the week continues.   Gradually, we'll see high pressure rebuilding and that will result in a wind shift.  Instead of a deep southerly air flow, we'll get a more easterly flow (and a nice ocean breeze too).   The onshore flow will promote fewer and more inland-focused showers... later in the week.

The HEAT Continues

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

The "HEAT" Continues South Florida. High temperatures expected to range in the low 90s with the feel's like temperatures in the triple digits. Summer officially starts on Friday and we've been feeling the "HEAT" for a while now. This is due to steamy winds from the South as there is an area of high pressure centered in the Western Atlantic Ocean extending into the Gulf of Mexico. As far as rain chances are concerned, we will have typical chances each afternoon through Friday of seeing spotty inland storms. By the weekend, we could be dealing with a few more showers, but still feeling the Summer "HEAT." Temperature reading will be normal.

Super Moon

It's back. The Super-Moon. It will take place this Friday at moonrise. Hopefully Mother nature will cooperate. There is a slight chance for showers on Friday. The moon should rise at 6:30pm.

Feeling the HEAT

We are going to be feeling the Heat once again this afternoon. Summer officially begins on Friday and wouldn't you know it... it's started a few weeks early for us with temperature reading a few degrees above where we should be for this time of year. The weather so far has been great and outside of a spotty inland storm today and Thursday that is basically it. On Friday, we could see some more moisture around.

Tropical Depression #2

Tropical depression Two made landfall over Belize Monday night, with gusty winds and heavy rain. The main threat over the next day or so over Belize, Northern Honduras, Southern Yucatan and Guatemala will be rain. Flash flooding over mountainous areas will be likely as 6 inches of rain are expected in the next 48 hours.
