Cooler Air?

Posted by Phil Ferro

We are following a cold front across the Panhandle. If it holds, it could bring us nice and mild weather for Sunday with temps running a few degrees cooler. Not allot, but we'll take it.

The front should be near Central Florida on Friday, this will mean winds coming in from the SW, thus pushing in some heat and humidity, we will be on the warm and muggy side.

By Saturday, the front is knocking at the door with maybe a shower or two, but clearing by afternoon and giving us a pleasant day. It won't be until Sunday, IF THE FRONT HOLDS, that we should see the temps dipping a few degrees. Like an appetizer for a nice weather meal, except the meal is not on the menu just yet.

Sunday promises to have morning temps in the upper 60's to around 70°, with afternoon highs near 84°, under mostly sunny skies. What's typical for this time of year is 75 and 86. Enjoy because by Monday we're back to normal.

In the tropics: All is quiet.

Still On Flood Watch

Posted by Phil Ferro

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.

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.
