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!

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.
