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!

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.
Flood Watch
Posted by Vivian Gonzalez
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.
