BCS Championship Forecast

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

We have a weak front that will linger around Central Florida through possibly Wednesday and it will keep the warmth and humidity in place. This front will also aid in the development of some showers each afternoon with building clouds. Therefore, look for limited sunshine and damp conditions at spots.

The big question is will we see any rain for the BCS Championship game? Right now the forecast is calling for mostly dry conditions. The clouds will linger with temperatures into the upper 70s.

As we head into Wednesday, the weak front fades and an area of high pressure will build in from the North to keep conditions warm with a stronger breeze out of the East. This could drive in the occasional brief sprinkle, but overall the computer models are showing the rain chances minimizing. Beach goers and boaters keep in mind that conditions may be rough from Wednesday night through Friday.

Have a wonderful Monday as you head back to work and school South Florida!

Flood Watch

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

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

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

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. 

Seasonal Weekend Heat

Our Weekend Warm-up

We were spoiled with a mild start to the week as the air was drier and the highs were below normal. Over the next few days, it will be hot with more humidity as we reach seasonal afternoon heat. The dome of warm air that has not budged will bring the peak heat of the upper 80s with a chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms over the next few days.
