Breezy Beaches

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

We have an area of high pressure that is in control of our weather and it is responsible for the extra dry conditions in place. However, since it is centered rather far away along the middle Atlantic states, that is why it is breezy at the beaches. If you are going to the beach or boating keep in mind that the water will be choppy. This area of high pressure will stay put through Tuesday and begin to weaken on Wednesday with an approaching cold front.

As high pressure weakens, our winds will shift out of the South drawing in more humidity. The cold front will cross through weak in fashion on Thursday and bring us a chance of seeing isolated showers. This will be our next best chance of seeing some rain that we desperately need as dry season is in full swing. Speaking of dry season, since the air is so dry leading into the next few months we will be susceptible to see additional brush fires much like over the weekend. Luckily the stronger breeze out of the East has been pushing the smoke well inland from a brush fire in Southwest Miami-Dade.

Have a great week South Florida and make it a safe one!

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

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.

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.
