Another Weak Cold Front Headed Our Way

Posted by Phil Ferro

Aside from morning showers that have moved west along with some minor street flooding experienced in the South Beach area due to the high tide cycle, the day has turned out to be a nice one for South Florida. We are following another weak cold front which should be arriving on Tuesday and is expected to once again slightly decrease humidity levels and not bring any change in temperatures, nonetheless, the possibility for inland showers remains as this front reaches our area. We have experienced an increase in both dew point and low level moisture during the past day, however we should feel drier air moving in once again as the cold front clears on Tuesday. The possibility of showers remains on Wednesday due to a combination of increasing deep layer moisture and westerly flow throughout our interior and East coast.

In the tropics we continue to monitor tropical storm Rafael which is located some 570 miles south of Bermuda and has maximum sustained winds near 70 mph. Rafael has a small window of opportunity of becoming a category 1 storm either this evening or Tuesday and it is forecast to track very close to Bermuda before heading off to the North of the Atlantic towards the end of week.

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.

Our Weekend Warm-up

Get ready for a "Feels-like" summer weekend. We'll see a little of everything:

Heat Humidity Sunshine And some afternoon storms Expect temps to reach the upper 80's (Typical is 87°) both Saturday and Sunday. And of course, there will be a chance for showers and inland storms as well. 

Back to Summer-like Heat

Good-bye mild weather:

I hope you've enjoyed our recent mild temps teamed up with drier air. A dome of warm air will push the mercury readings into the ballpark of our 87° average over the next couple of days. A cold front sweeping to the north will add more clouds to the scenery with a slight chance of isolated showers and thunderstorms into next week.
