Chilly Weather Coming

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

*Coastal flood warning until 10am for Broward and Miami-Dade. A coastal flood warning for the upper Florida Keys will be in place until 5pm.

*High surf advisory for coast Broward and Miami-Dade until 10am.

*Small Craft Advisory in place for rough seas.

South Florida if you haven't been outside already, cool weather is already in the air... However, chilly weather is working it's way slowly and it's coming tonight! Make sure to dust off the sweaters, jackets, coats and bring out the scarves because we will be feeling Fall South Florida style!!!

We had a cold front move through yesterday and high pressure has settled in to the middle part of the United States. This is helping our winds to shift out of the North-Northwest allowing for the cooler air to filter through. In fact, by tomorrow morning lows will range in the low 50s along the coast to upper 40s inland. This does not factor in the wind chill readings... the strong breeze from the North will make it feel colder!

It looks like the majority of the week will be nice and dry with Fall-like weather. As we end the week temperatures will not be as chilly due to high pressure moving a bit more East and our winds shifting out of the Northeast. By the weekend, another cold front should move through... to keep the cool air coming!

Tropical Update: Hurricane Sandy got a little stronger this morning and still holding to Category one status with sustained winds at 85mph. It is located 265 miles East of Atlantic City, New Jersey. Sandy is expected to bring life-threatening storm surge and hurricane force winds, plus heavy snows to the Northeast. This system is so large that tropical storm force winds extend 485 miles from the center that the majority of the Mid-Atlantic states are experiencing strong winds. In fact, the center of Sandy will move over the coast of the Mid-Atlantic states tonight or early morning.

Have a wonderful work week South Florida and stay warm!

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!!!
