Quick Showers

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

South Florida the weekend was nice and the start of the work week as well. We have an area of high pressure in place keeping a strong breeze off of the ocean and helping to create choppy seas. That strong breeze off of the ocean is driving quick showers from time to time. This should be the pattern until Tuesday. Therefore, look for improvements out on the waters late Tuesday.

By Wednesday, high pressure will weaken due a weak front entering North Florida. As this happens a lighter breeze will be in place. A slight chance for rain has been introduced into the forecast for Thursday ahead of the front. Some of the computer models are showing the front coming through and other have it fizzling before it gets to South Florida. Either way, we will see some showers ahead and no noticeable temperature change as another area of high pressure will build quickly behind.

If you haven't made any weekend plans yet... I know it's early, but we have the event just for you! The Toys in the Sun Run takes place this upcoming Sunday, December 9th, 2012 at 9:30am. Come ride with me for some really special kids. The motorcycle ride starts at Mardi Gras Casino in Hallandale Beach and will end with live entertainment at Markham Park in Sunrise. Look for spectacular weather and don't forget to bring a new unwrapped toy. This event will benefit the Joe DiMaggios Children's Hospital and the James Jr.. Fund.

Have a wonderful Monday 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.

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.
