Ho Hum - Weather

Posted by Brent Cameron

We're in the thick of the holiday season, and our local weather conditions are mirroring what's typical for late November.   For south Florida, our return to normal-type weather comes after a chilly stint that arrived with the Thanksgiving holiday.  Temperatures (throughout the long weekend) continued to run a solid 10-degrees below average!  

High pressure is the main weather feature on the weather map.   The high is currently centered over the southeastern states, but it's beginning to retreat eastward (into the Atlantic Ocean).  The absence of the high will allow another cold front to gradually dive southward.   The front will probably generate some rain showers for parts of the Gulf states and possibly north Florida.  Since the boundary will weaken... and encounter a drier airmass... the rain potential will remain very low for the local area. 

Looking ahead, most of the forecast models show the cold front "limping" across south Florida during the day on Wednesday.   Weather changes with the front will be minimal.   In fact, we're only looking at some additional clouds (in the wake of the front) followed by a strengthening breeze behind it.   Temperatures, meanwhile, will remain close to normal even as we ease into December!

Memorial day Weekend

Memorial Day Weekend   Memorial Day weekend has become the unofficial start of summer, but its true meaning is to remember the service men and women who gave their lives for our nation. So as you are enjoying the freedoms they died for.... say a little prayer for them this Monday.   

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.
