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!

The HEAT Continues

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

The "HEAT" Continues South Florida. High temperatures expected to range in the low 90s with the feel's like temperatures in the triple digits. Summer officially starts on Friday and we've been feeling the "HEAT" for a while now. This is due to steamy winds from the South as there is an area of high pressure centered in the Western Atlantic Ocean extending into the Gulf of Mexico. As far as rain chances are concerned, we will have typical chances each afternoon through Friday of seeing spotty inland storms. By the weekend, we could be dealing with a few more showers, but still feeling the Summer "HEAT." Temperature reading will be normal.

Super Moon

It's back. The Super-Moon. It will take place this Friday at moonrise. Hopefully Mother nature will cooperate. There is a slight chance for showers on Friday. The moon should rise at 6:30pm.

Feeling the HEAT

We are going to be feeling the Heat once again this afternoon. Summer officially begins on Friday and wouldn't you know it... it's started a few weeks early for us with temperature reading a few degrees above where we should be for this time of year. The weather so far has been great and outside of a spotty inland storm today and Thursday that is basically it. On Friday, we could see some more moisture around.

Tropical Depression #2

Tropical depression Two made landfall over Belize Monday night, with gusty winds and heavy rain. The main threat over the next day or so over Belize, Northern Honduras, Southern Yucatan and Guatemala will be rain. Flash flooding over mountainous areas will be likely as 6 inches of rain are expected in the next 48 hours.
