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!

It's Official...

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.

Flood Watch

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.
