Fall Florida Style

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

The first taste of fall South Florida style is around the corner! We have a "very" weak front over Central Florida and it should fall apart some time on Wednesday over us. Late in the day an area of high pressure will quickly build in to bring in a refreshing breeze from the Northeast. This same breeze is just going to tap into drier less humid air. A total nice change for us. In fact, temperatures will probably reach the middle 80s each afternoon as round up the work week. As far as rain is concerned, look for a spotty shower here and there. It doesn't look like we will have to worry about rain for a few days.

Tropical Update:

1) A weak area of low pressure located a couple hundred miles East-Northeast of the Northwestern Bahamas continues to produce disorganized showers and storms.  Development is doubtful as it is encountering some strong shear. The National Hurricane Center is giving it a low chance to develop as it move slowly Northeast.

2) A tropical wave located less than 900 miles East of the Windward Islands is producing a large area of showers and storms. Conditions are only marginally favorable for it develop as it moves West-Northwest at 15-20mph. It also has a low chance for development.

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

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.

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.
