Cold Front... without Cold!

Posted by Brent Cameron

We've seen several cold fronts in recent weeks, and another one is on the way!   Before you set aside another sweater to wear... realize that this particular cold front isn't going to be able to drag down ANY chilly air.   Instead, cooler air will lag well to our north without a noticeable temperature difference for south Florida in the coming days.  The next question you may have is whether we'll get any rain showers with this front.   Often, fronts "lift" the air and spark at least a few showers, but this particular boundary will be lacking much moisture.   Having said that, there should be more moist air offshore... where some showers could drop down. 

The life span of this cold front will be a short one.  It is expected to diminish by late Thursday or Friday.  Behind the boundary, then, we'll have strong high pressure building-in (along with a strengthening breeze).   Expect the healthy breeze to last awhile... with stronger gusts as we head into the late-week time frame.  Looking ahead, a general windy pattern is projected to hold through the upcoming weekend.   As a result, there will be more marine hazards, rip currents and the concern for additional beach erosion.  Stay tuned.

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.

Our Weekend Warm-up

We were spoiled with a mild start to the week as the air was drier and the highs were below normal. Over the next few days, it will be hot with more humidity as we reach seasonal afternoon heat. The dome of warm air that has not budged will bring the peak heat of the upper 80s with a chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms over the next few days.
