Sun, Sun, Sun

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

We started of the work week with overcast skies and lots of rain, not the case this Friday. In fact, it is day number three and the sun, sun, sun is out in full force. It has been mainly dry and it looks like it will remain this way through Saturday.

All I want to say... is thank you, thank you high pressure for helping to build in from the Western Atlantic Ocean and nudging drier air to South Florida. Day number three with lots of sun and more to come this weekend... Look for quick moving sprinkles along a strong ocean breeze through Saturday and maybe an inland storm forming well out West due to the sea breeze collisions. Temperatures will be running slightly above average for this time of year in the afternoon...

By Sunday, our weather changes just a tad. A weak front currently over the center part of the U.S. will swing over to North-Central Florida. I will call it a fading front because this one will not bring us a noticeable temperature difference. It will just bring more showers on Sunday. On Columbus Day, a drier airmass builds in from the North and it will be nice and quiet before it turns really breezy on Wednesday.

Tropics Update: Oscar is out and no longer being tracked by The National Hurricane Center. The last advisory was written at 11am.

Have a wonderful weekend and make it a safe one!

Severe Weather Expected

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

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.

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.
