Slow Warm Up

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

A slow warm up is in store for the weekend. High pressure is weakening and slipping East off the Carolina coast into the Western Atlantic Ocean. This will shift the wind out of the Northeast and signal the slow warm up. However, anytime we have ocean type air we always tend to see a few sprinkles and passing clouds along the coast. Rain chances will be low heading into Veterans Day Sunday with a slight chance in the forecast. Overall, we are looking at mostly dry conditions, lots of sunshine and a strong breeze from the Northeast. Beach goers and boaters will have to be cautious out on the waters since seas will be on the rough side of things.

By Tuesday of next week, we will be following another cold front. Most computer models are not in agreement as to if the front will make or bring cold air. What we do know is that there will be a better chance of rain beginning Tuesday night.

Tropical Update: The National Hurricane Center is following an area of clouds and rain 800 miles West-Northwest of the Cape Verde Islands. Development if any should be slow to occur. It has a low potential to do so in the next few days.

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

A white hot day is underway... Today we will have a very similar situation with high temperatures reaching the low 90s. However, it will feel hotter because the humidity levels are high. Record heat is possible in Miami. The forecast is calling for a high of 92 degrees, old record is 94 set back in 1989.

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.
