Weak Front Nearby

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

A weak front over Central Florida refuses to die. It has contributed little to nothing in our forecast. We still have an East to Northeast wind in place and that ocean breeze will drive in the occasional coastal shower from time to time today and tomorrow. The front should slowly sag South and stall over South Florida through Saturday, which is why a chance of showers is in the forecast.

Once the front fizzles, Sunday is looking spectacular. Mostly sunny skies will be around with seasonal temperatures. Highs will be in the low 80s and lows in the upper 60s. It will be mostly dry... We were expecting slightly cooler air, but the latest computer models have backed off on cooler air arriving. This front that fizzles over us will simply not have enough of a push to bring in the cooler air from the North.

As we head into the weekend we will be talking travel weather for Thanksgiving... Need to make sure we get you to your destinations this holiday season...

Have a wonderful Thursday South Florida 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

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.
