Warming Up

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

South Florida we are warming up... High pressure is weakening and moving slowly into the Western Atlantic Ocean. This means that the return of an ocean breeze will be warming us up gradually throughout the rest of the week. In fact, high temperatures on Wednesday will range in the low 80s. Also, the humidity levels will be on the rise through the end of the week. The reason why is because it looks like a weak front will be approaching our state. That weak cold front will weaken the high more and our winds will be turning out of the South, which is why it will be feeling more humid by Friday.

As far as rain is concerned, it looks like we could see some isolated showers between Friday night into Saturday morning ahead of this weak cold front. Computer models are showing that rain will be limited, but the front may fall apart before reaching us or we could completely move through. Either way we are not looking at a temperature change with this one, but we can sure use some measurable rain.

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

Still On Flood Watch

Posted by Phil Ferro

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.

Flood Watch

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

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.
