Chilly Start To Black Friday

Posted by Brent Cameron

 * HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS  REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7:00 PM TONIGHT *

* SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL SATURDAY MORNING *

* MINOR COASTAL FLOODING POSSIBLE FOR SOUTH BEACH DUE TO HIGH TIDE *

It was a chilly start for South Florida on this black Friday as we woke up to clear skies and morning lows in the middle to upper 50s. The rest of the day has remained mild and pleasant with afternoon highs reaching the middle 70s. High pressure will continue to dominate our area until Saturday when a cold front should move through South Florida reinforcing the dry and cooler weather for Sunday, therefore expect to see a repeat of sunny skies and cool to mild temperatures for this weekend.

Enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend!

Still On Flood Watch

Posted by Phil Ferro

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.

Severe Weather Expected

Lots of rain has been falling in Broward. Areas of Pompano Beach, Margate and Deerfield Beach have already been under an Urban Flood advisory. Additional showers and storms today will produce heavy rain leading localized street flooding, frequent lightning and gusty winds with the activity that forms. Therefore, be sure to pack the patience throughout your afternoon to early evening commute because it will be slowed down by the rain.

Signs of Summer

Recent days have featured higher humidity levels and (like it or not) our steamy air will likely stick around... for a very long time!   The official start of the summer season is a full month away.  Just the same, south Florida appears to be getting our usual "head start" on summer type weather... NOW.
