One-two Winter Storm punch!

Posted by Phil Ferro

 
If the storm impacting the Northeast on Friday, had done so in the middle of summer, it would be classified as a tropical storm at the least.

It is one huge area of low pressure spinning just offshore New York and Massachusetts.
  • Top coastal winds may be as strong as a hurricane.
  • Choppy seas will be the norm through the weekend
  • Heavy rain at the beach will turn to snow and accumulations could go as high as 3 feet.



Plenty of winter storm and Blizzard warnings are in effect for much of the Northeast. Hundreds of flights are canceled. And power outages can be expected overnight.

This Big Blizzard will be a one-two punch. First the actual dumping of snow, the second will be the clean up which could take days throughout many areas.

Speaking of a one-two punch... This is the second huge storm to impact the Northeast in less than one year. Just last summer they were hit by Super Storm "Sandy".  We hope the best for them.

For us:

The tail end of all the winter mess made its way over South Florida Friday afternoon with a few scattered showers.  The cooling will be minimal, but you will feel it.  Since our highs have been in the low to mid 80's over the past few days, the highs will now come down into the upper 70's for the weekend . Our typical high is around 78°

Have a great weekend

Nice, for Now

Posted by Brent Cameron

So here we are... 1-week into our south Florida rainy season and 1-week away from the official start the Hurricane Season (for the Atlantic).   It's a holiday weekend and (not surprisingly) it's often fraught with stormy conditions here.  Instead, though, we're catching a big break!  Drier air has returned and even the humidity has "backed down" for the time being.

Memorial Day Weekend   Memorial Day weekend has become the unofficial start of summer, but its true meaning is to remember the service men and women who gave their lives for our nation. So as you are enjoying the freedoms they died for.... say a little prayer for them this Monday.

White Hot Long Weekend

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

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.
