Weather to be Thankful for?

Posted by Brent Cameron

The holiday week is off to a fine start.  The majority of clouds are offshore and some of them contain rain.   Having said that, however, dry conditions are likely to hold for us... for the next several days!  

The weather map currently shows low pressure northeast of Florida, with high pressure centered to our northwest (near Mississippi).   The difference in air pressure will keep a steady breeze flowing into the region.  Winds are arriving from the north (mainly) and that's keeping us both comfortable and mild.   In time, slightly cooler air will  funnel into Florida making the Thanksgiving holiday "cooler than average".  

Expect a steady weather pattern... even in the long range.   A weak cold front is forecast to settle across south Florida again, by Saturday.   Like recent fronts, it (too) will likely cross our area dry.  The reason?  The atmosphere won't have access to available moisture.  The passing frontal boundary will simply shut-off any opportunity for noticeable warming.   More mild days and comfortably cool nights will be the rule, even into next week.

Nice, for Now

So here we are... 1-week into our south Florida rainy season and 1-week away from the official start the Hurricane Season (for the Atlantic).   It's a holiday weekend and (not surprisingly) it's often fraught with stormy conditions here.  Instead, though, we're catching a big break!  Drier air has returned and even the humidity has "backed down" for the time being.

Memorial day Weekend

Memorial Day Weekend   Memorial Day weekend has become the unofficial start of summer, but its true meaning is to remember the service men and women who gave their lives for our nation. So as you are enjoying the freedoms they died for.... say a little prayer for them this Monday.   

White Hot Long Weekend

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

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.
