Cool Week

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

I know most of you probably stayed up late to watch America voice their choice and are at it early this morning... The weather is quiet.

In fact, a cool rest of the week is on tap for South Florida! The much anticipated cold front has arrived and the wind has shifted out of the North. This means the cool air is coming and it will be felt this afternoon. Pleasant temperature readings await with high temperatures in the middle to upper 70s. By tonight whip out the sweaters, jackets and scarves! Temperatures will fall into the middle 50s along the coast, low 50s to upper 40s inland...

The big question everyone has been asking this morning... How long will the Fall weather last? The forecast is calling for a cool week through Friday.

High pressure is set to weaken some over the weekend. It will be located off the Carolina coast allowing the wind to shift out of the Northeast. This means it will be breezy with warm air, passing clouds and isolated sprinkles here and there along the coast. Overall looking good into Veterans Day on Sunday with highs back in the low 80s.

Tropical Update: Following no areas of interest.

Have a great Wednesday South Florida and make it a safe one!

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

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.
