Hoping for Change

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

South Florida we are hoping for change by the end of the week. However, for now we remain stuck in a rut.

High pressure is in place keeping a front stalled from the Panhandle of Florida all the way to the Ohio River Valley. This front will stay there until Wednesday. By the end of the week computer models are showing that high pressure will weaken. The cold front will start pressing down our state in weak fashion. Now here is the tricky part... Some computer models are showing that the front lags any real push and just increases our rain chances for Saturday and Sunday before it fades. While others have it swinging through and clearing still increasing our rain chances and dropping our temperatures by 5 degrees the most.

If you are wanting a winter-like change South Florida, right now it is too early to tell whether we will see a cool down. In the coming days, hopefully the computer models will have a better handle with what will unfold.

Happy Monday and make it a safe one!

Seasonal Weekend Heat

Posted by Phil Ferro

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.

Back to Summer-like Heat

Posted by Phil Ferro

Good-bye mild weather:

I hope you've enjoyed our recent mild temps teamed up with drier air. A dome of warm air will push the mercury readings into the ballpark of our 87° average over the next couple of days. A cold front sweeping to the north will add more clouds to the scenery with a slight chance of isolated showers and thunderstorms into next week.

More heat around the corner

Posted by Phil Ferro

One last mild day:

High pressure will keep us mostly dry under sunny skies and enjoying mild temps for this time of year. You can thank a huge dome of high pressure sitting over us for the lovely conditions. High pressure after all, is your fair-weather friend.
