Warmer Winds

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

After a chilly start by South Florida standards, a warming trend is underway. Temperatures on Monday morning started off in the lower 50s with the coldest spot being Kendall reporting 49 degrees. Clear skies overnight lead to temperatures dropping just a tad more due to a reinforcing front moving through over the weekend. As a cool area of high pressure begins to weaken on Tuesday, look for warmer winds out of the East to be around. This means temperatures will gradually warm up and more clouds will be moving in and out with forecast high temperatures around 80 degrees by Wednesday... The forecast also calling for a dry period through the majority of the week.

However, by week's end another cold front may be moving through to cool us down for the weekend. If the front holds on Friday and Saturday we could see some showers ahead. Although we could use the rain and it will be limited, look for at least seasonal type temperatures over the weekend.

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

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.
