Drop in Degrees

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

On Thursday morning a good drop in degrees has been experienced across South Florida due to a cold front that moved through Wednesday night. Winds of change out of the North have been allowing cooler air to filter through. This cool air supply will continue through Friday with high temperatures into the middle 70s.

As the weekend rolls around, Saturday looks like the warmer day with high temperatures rising into the low 80s ahead of another cold front. The next cold front will probably generate a few showers ahead before it crosses through Saturday night into Sunday morning. However, will the temperatures take a tumble? The answer is not a great deal. They will drop a few degrees, but into seasonal levels. Look for lows around 60 and highs into the upper 70s... Dry and comfortable weather follow us as we bring in 2013!

Have a wonderful Thursday 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

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.
