Series of Fronts

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

South Florida on this Monday we are watching a series of fronts.

Front #1: This front is currently located around the Southeast United States. It will cross through late Tuesday and be located over the Florida straits. Ahead of the front we could see some isolated showers. However, don't get too excited... this front will not change temperature readings. In fact, temperatures will remain near seasonal values.

Front #2: Right now this front is developing around the Pacific Northwest. This one will cross through on Friday and there is the possibility of seeing some showers. Once the front clears South Florida, an area of high pressure will build in to keep skies clear and rain free into the weekend. Computer models are showing that we will be experiencing a cool down come Saturday morning.... Winter officially begins this Friday!

Have a wonderful week South Florida and make it a safe one!

Still On Flood Watch

Posted by Phil Ferro

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.

Signs of Summer

Posted by Brent Cameron

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.
