Weather Update: Palm Beach Police reported water in homes in Jupiter ( no specific area was mentioned ).  A Flash Flood warning is in effect for Northeastern Palm Beach coutny until 2 am. Radar estimates are now up to 7-10" within this area with very high rainfall rates continuing.

NWS Reports:

INDIANTOWN ROAD WAS NEARLY IMPASSABLE BETWEN A1A AND MAPLEWOOD DR.

WATER WAS COVERING THREE LANES AND TRAFFIC MOVING VERY SLOWLY.

PALM BEACH COUNTY STORM SPOTTER REPORTED THAT INDIANTOWN ROAD AT MILITARY TRAIL WAS DOWN TO ONE LANE WITH WATER

FLOWING OVER THE CURB AND INTO SOME OF THE PARKING LOTS.

We are still following a huge batch of rain in Eastern Gulf. At present speed it should not impact us tonight, but if it holds, it could impact The Keys - Dade & Broward  very early Wednesday morning.

Meanwhile we are following a front across Northern Florida. Since the front is slowing down, most of the heavy rain has slowed down as well and remains to our NW. If this persists, we will have a warm and mostly dry night.

White Hot Long Weekend

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.

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.
