Minor Cooling Coming

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

South Florida a cold front is set to move in late Wednesday. There is a visible spin of low pressure producing snow around the Midwest with the tail end of the cold front attached to the low pressure system sprouting severe weather around the Gulf coast states. Now the tail end of the cold front is located over the Panhandle of Florida. The low will keep tracking Northeast with parts of Northern Ohio set to easily see over 20 inches of snow. New York could see about 16 inches of snow. As for the cold front, it should pass through South Florida weak in fashion.

Most of the computer models are showing that we could see some rain showers very isolated ahead of the cold front late Wednesday. Once the front crosses, an area of high pressure will quickly build in over the Southeast United States clearing skies and drawing in cooler air. In fact, we will be waking up to a minor cool down Thursday morning. Our average low temperature is 61 degrees and temperatures are expected to fall into the middle to upper 50s.

Nice and quiet weather will follow into the weekend with yet another cold front moving through Sunday. This will be probably keep temperatures on the seasonal side of things through the new year.

Have a great Wednesday South Florida and make it a safe one!

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.

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.
