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.

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.

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.
