Front Fizzles

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

South Florida there is a weak front located around North Florida. This front will continue to weaken as it presses down our state. Ahead the clouds will build late in the day and most of the models are suggesting that isolated showers may be possible in the lower Florida Keys Thursday night.

By Friday, the clouds will be around and there is the possibility of seeing isolated showers as the cold front fizzles over South Florida on through Saturday morning. Overall the first weekend of 2013 is not looking too bad... As the front completely fizzles, the breeze will be picking up out of the East due to a strengthening area of high pressure building in around the Southeast United States. This should keep conditions mostly dry with the exception of a few coastal sprinkles likely with those in and out clouds. Temperatures will remain warm.

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.
