Speedy Showers

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

On this Monday I feel even more blessed to be living in the land of the free. As we honor and commemorate those who have served in the military the weather is overall very nice.

We have a weak area of high pressure with a strong ocean breeze in place allowing to drive in some speedy showers. However, that very same strong East breeze will elevate the threat of rip currents for beach goers and create moderate to choppy seas. I know it is not the ideal conditions to be out on the waters especially since lots of you are off from work and school.  

By tomorrow, a weak cold front (currently over the middle part of the U.S.) will fade as it moves South of Lake Okeechobee. There will not be much associated with this front. In fact, we will only see some additional clouds and another area of high pressure (a strong one) build around the Southeast United States. This area of high pressure will be bringing in drier air. There will always be the possibility of seeing a spotty coastal sprinkle due to the East to Northeast (ocean type air) we will have in place. Temperatures readings will remain seasonably mild throughout the rest of the week.

Tropical Update: Three weeks are left until the 2012 Atlantic Hurricane Season is officially over. Right now everything is quiet.

Have a great Monday and make it a safe one!

Severe Weather Expected

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

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

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.

Our Weekend Warm-up

We were spoiled with a mild start to the week as the air was drier and the highs were below normal. Over the next few days, it will be hot with more humidity as we reach seasonal afternoon heat. The dome of warm air that has not budged will bring the peak heat of the upper 80s with a chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms over the next few days.
