Dry, breezy conditions to continue

Posted by Phil Ferro

The amazing weather we have had the past couple of days will continue through the weekend. The area of  high pressure that has built around our region will allow for dry and stable condition to linger for another few days . It will keep the wind up across the beach and it could push across an isolated shower at any time. Due to the windy conditions at the beach for this weekend, expect a high risk of rip current for the Atlantic beaches until Sunday evening.

Also for this weekend, along with the windy conditions we also expect to see higher than normal tides, that when coupled with a new moon, could result in
a slight risk of coastal flooding by areas such as Miami Beach and Key Biscayne.

Moving on to the tropics...

Patty has been downgraded to a tropical depression as of Friday night. Currently,  It is located a few hundred miles ENE of the Central Bahamas and has maximum sustained winds of 35 mph. Patty has become stationary but a West-Southwestward motion is expected to begin on Saturday. Once Patty begins to move it is expected to become a post tropical remnant low and dissipate by Sunday. No watches or warning are in effect for this system.

Then there is Tropical storm Rafael that is aiming for the Virgin Islands. It could be near Bermuda by the middle of next week.

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.

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.
