Strange lights in the sky

Posted by Phil Ferro

Thursday evening, the weather office was inundated with calls regarding strange lights in the sky around Miramar/Dade-Broward County line.

Reports said they were small round balls that fell slowly in a spiraling fashion until they crashed into the ground. Well we made some calls and it turns out that....

During the start of the U of M Virginia Tech Game, the US ARMY Parachute team known as the Golden Knights, performed a night time dive with flares attached to their boots. Those were the lights that were seen from miles away making for an unsettling sight for some.

So there you have it... you can rest easy. Nothing alien here.                                                                                             

Barry and the Wave

Posted by Brent Cameron

Wasn't there a musical group called Katrina and the Waves?  (I'm really dating myself by remembering them, I know).  Well, right now... in the tropics... we have Barry and a wave!   Tropical Storm Barry formed on Wednesday afternoon, becoming the Atlantic season's second named system.  The center of Barry will be moving into Mexico on Thursday with widespread rain over the southern states of Mexico.  At this point, it's a low-end tropical storm that's forecast to make landfall just north of Veracruz, Mexico. 

The HEAT Continues

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

The "HEAT" Continues South Florida. High temperatures expected to range in the low 90s with the feel's like temperatures in the triple digits. Summer officially starts on Friday and we've been feeling the "HEAT" for a while now. This is due to steamy winds from the South as there is an area of high pressure centered in the Western Atlantic Ocean extending into the Gulf of Mexico. As far as rain chances are concerned, we will have typical chances each afternoon through Friday of seeing spotty inland storms. By the weekend, we could be dealing with a few more showers, but still feeling the Summer "HEAT." Temperature reading will be normal.

Super Moon

It's back. The Super-Moon. It will take place this Friday at moonrise. Hopefully Mother nature will cooperate. There is a slight chance for showers on Friday. The moon should rise at 6:30pm.

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.
