Weekend Weather

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

If you liked the weather the past few days South Florida, your weekend weather forecast will be more of the same. We have a blocking area of high pressure in place around the Eastern United keeping major weather systems away from us. It is definitely protecting Florida and will do so through next week. The good news is that the wind will relax over the weekend making beach and boating favorable. However, with ocean type air in place South Florida will see the occasional sprinkle along the coast, but it should stay mostly dry.

Temperature readings will stay a good 10 to 15 degrees above normal through next week... Flirting with records for low and high temperatures. As far as winter weather is concerned, most of the computer models do not show a cold front coming through in the next week. For now, warm and mostly dry weather will continue.

Have a wonderful weekend and make it a safe one!

White Hot Long Weekend

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

A white hot day is underway... Today we will have a very similar situation with high temperatures reaching the low 90s. However, it will feel hotter because the humidity levels are high. Record heat is possible in Miami. The forecast is calling for a high of 92 degrees, old record is 94 set back in 1989.

It shouldn't come as a surprise, (but yes) the start of the south Florida "rainy season" has begun!   According to the National Weather Service, the start date officially began on Saturday May 18, close to the median start of May 20.  Our rainy season lasts for 5-months, ending around the third week of October. 

Still On Flood Watch

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.
