Frankenstorm Sandy

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

South Florida Sandy is still creating dangerous waves along the Florida coast. In fact, flooding and beach erosion have been reported during times of high tide. Squally weather will be around this Friday and improving conditions will take place by Saturday afternoon. This will happen as Sandy begins to turn North-Northeast and move away. On Sunday, it will be breezy and it's looking a lot nicer. In fact, a cold front will move through and poised to cool the air into the 50s on Tuesday morning. For now, look for gusty winds, times of rain and rough seas where beach and boating is not advised until Sunday.

As Sandy moves away, it will become a potential concern for the Northeastern states. Forecasters are dubbing this system as "Frankenstorm Sandy" due to the fact it may come onshore on Halloween as a category one hurricane.

Advisories:

- Wind advisory for all areas West of I-95 in Broward and Miami-Dade including areas West of US1 in Miami-Dade. Steady winds of 30-35mph possible with occasional wind gusts up to 50mph.

- Tropical Storm Warning remains in place from Sebastian Inlet Florida including Coast Broward and Miami-Dade.

- Tropical Storm Watch for the upper Florida Keys including Florida Bay.

Have a great Friday and make it a safe one!

Signs of Summer

Posted by Brent Cameron

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. 

Seasonal Weekend Heat

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.

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.
