Beautiful Weekend Ahead

Posted by Phil Ferro

It has been a beautiful day across town all due to the area of high pressure that has built over our area. The pleasant pattern along with the dry and breezy conditions we've been experiencing will remain throughout the weekend with minimal rain chances in our forecast.

In the tropics, we continue to monitor tropical storm Patty which is currently drifting towards the northeast at near 2 mph. Little motion is expected throughout today and Patty is expected to become a remnant low by Sunday.

Also in the tropics is a broad area of low pressure that is located over the Eastern Caribbean Sea with an 80% chance of forming into a tropical cyclone. We will continue to monitor this system closely as it is expected to become a tropical system within the next day or so.

Enjoy the beautiful weekend we have ahead!

Feeling the HEAT

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

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. 

Low rain chance for now

Dad's day weekend was nice if you had outdoor activities planned and the start of the week is just the same. A low rain chance is expected on this Monday. We have a strong area of high pressure in control and if we see any showers or storms they will form well inland due to an East-Southeast breeze. However, seasonal chances are expected from Tuesday through Thursday. Originally the thinking was that we were going to tap into some tropical moisture associated with a disturbance (tropical wave) in the Northwestern Caribbean Sea, but it seems like the majority of it will be suppressed to the South. We will be monitoring moisture levels carefully. For now, only a 30-40% chance of rain is expected through Thursday.

Sunny & Hot Father's Day Weekend

Looking like summer and feeling like summer.

Summer doesn't begin for another week or so, but it sure feels like it. We are expecting mostly sunny conditions both Saturday and Sunday with highs in the low 90's, and only a slight chance for inland rain every day.  Wishing all the great Dads a very wonderful Father's Day!!!
