Chilling Out
Posted by Vivian Gonzalez
South Florida is chilling out this morning by breaking out the sweaters and jackets! We have high pressure in place over the middle part of the United States allowing our winds to be out of the North-Northwest filtering in the chilly air. The forecast is calling for one more chilly night... This time not the low 50s... this time the upper 50s. Still chilly by South Florida standards.
The strong area of high pressure we have in place will weaken slightly over the weekend as it slides off the Carolina coast on Saturday. This will shift the wind out of the Northeast. It will turn breezy and the possibility of seeing passing clouds along the coast with maybe a shower is in the forecast. Overall looking great and warmer where highs will reach into the low 80s.
By next Tuesday, there will be a better chance for showers due to yet another cold set to move in.
Tropical Update: All is quiet.
Have a great Thursday 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
Posted by Vivian Gonzalez
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.
