Cloudy and Misty

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

It's been cloudy and misty around South Florida this Tuesday. The reason for the added clouds is due to a spin of low pressure located off the Carolina coast and a building area of high pressure around the Southeast United States. Since we have a breeze from the North, it is allowing the a batch of low Stratus clouds to build in from the North to South.

On this Tuesday, I think we will see limited sunshine and slow clearing take place late in the day. Temperatures will remain below normal (on the cool side of things)... Come Wednesday, a cooler and drier airmass will settle in to make sure we have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. By the weekend, another weak cold front will pass through to continue to the cool and nice weather through the weekend and upcoming week.

Have a wonderful Tuesday and safe travels!

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.
