Seasonal Weekend

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

South Florida we have a weak front over South Florida producing little to no consequences in our weather. An area of high pressure still remains in place around the Southeastern United States. It is still providing for a Northeast breeze and driving in the occasional shower here and there. Overall, it is mostly dry and the weekend should stay that way.

The front will fade Saturday night and the area of high pressure will reinforce itself over the Southeastern United States allowing for more dry air to be around, sunny skies and a nice ocean breeze. I am only leaving a slight chance of seeing a coastal sprinkle. It looks like temperature wise, we will have seasonal high temperatures in the low 80s and low temperatures in the upper 60s through next week.

Have a nice weekend and safe travels since Thanksgiving is only a few days away!

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.
