Fine Weekend

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

There is no greater feeling than being the messenger of great news... We will have a Fine Weekend!

We have a weak front that is fading over South Florida and before it does so could squeeze out a sprinkle or two. Overall we have only seen some additional clouds. By the afternoon it will be mostly sunny and dry with highs reaching the low 80s... Feeling fine!!!  

Over the weekend we will have an area of high pressure remain in control of our weather centered over Florida. It will draw in a nice breeze out of the Northeast and will help bring in and out clouds. Mostly dry continues with highs in the low 80s and lows in the middle 60s. One thing I can tell, conditions are looking bright at the beaches. The water will be at a light chop with a slight risk of rip currents for beach goers.

By the upcoming week, we will be following another cold front closely. Most computers have the clouds building with a better chance of rain. Right now rain chances increase to 30 percent. As far as temperatures are concerned, we will not see a drop in temperatures. Instead, look for beautiful seasonal weather throughout the rest of the week.

Tropical Update: All is quiet!

Have a wonderful weekend South Florida and make it a safe one!

It shouldn't come as a surprise, (but yes) the start of the south Florida "rainy season" has begun!   According to the National Weather Service, the start date officially began on Saturday May 18, close to the median start of May 20.  Our rainy season lasts for 5-months, ending around the third week of October. 

Still On Flood Watch

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.
