Steady Warm-Up

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

*Minor coastal flooding and beach erosion will be possible during times of high tide through the middle of the week as we enter into a full moon phase. The areas susceptible to seeing inundation and erosion is at A1A at Fort Lauderdale and at Alton Road between 5th and 10th Streets in Miami Beach.*   

A steady warm-up is underway as the cool air supply has been turned off and the area of high pressure we have had in place around the Southeast United States is moving slowly East. On this Cyber Monday, look for a cool start with temperatures not as chilly as they have been the last few days. Heading into the afternoon temperatures will bounce back to normal levels nearing 80 degrees... so yes the light sweaters and jackets are needed early and then they can be put away by the afternoon!  

High pressure will be located in the Western Atlantic on Tuesday. This means the return of an ocean breeze could drive in a stray shower here and there. Overall, looking good on Tuesday. Late Wednesday, a weak front will move through unnoticed and could be accompanied with a few isolated showers ahead. Once it passes through or fades, high temperatures will remain seasonably warm with mild low temperatures as another area of high pressure will be building in from the middle part of United States slipping off the Carolina coastline. Look for it turn on the breezy side of things come Thursday.

Have a wonderful week South Florida and make it a safe one!

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.

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.
