Comfy Weather

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

*Coastal flooding and beach erosion still possible today along the coast of South Florida beaches. We might be looking at the same scenario tomorrow when we will be under a full moon phase (the gravitational pull from the moon and Earth helps create higher than normal tides and with high water levels in place continued concerns along the coast will be possible).*

We have a weak area of high pressure in place with comfy weather on this Tuesday. This area of high pressure is providing for a light ocean breeze. Any time we have ocean type air in place we can't rule out seeing a spotty sprinkle or shower from time to time, which is why I am leaving a slight chance in the forecast. However, it should stay mostly dry for the majority of the week.

By Wednesday night, a weak front moves through dry and another area of high pressure will be building in around the Southeast United States. This one will provide for the breeze to pickup out of the Northeast and range between 15-20mph creating swells along South Beaches. Therefore, conditions for beach goers and boaters will not be ideal for the second half of the week.

Some of the computer are indicating that the front that will cross through Wednesday night may stall and be the cause for some additional showers through the weekend. For now, rain chances are at a 10%.

Have a wonderful Tuesday 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.

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.
