Rain in the near future

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

South Florida rain is in the near future... We've been so dry and now the computer models are hinting at growing rain chances and possible thunder come the end of the week. A cold front responsible for the twisters between Mississippi and Alabama over the weekend will stall over the Southeast United states on Tuesday. Then it will receive a push to make it to South Florida before stalling out again. This is expected to happen on Wednesday and the front will linger through Friday. As it does so, our rain chances go up. In fact, we are looking at a 40 percent chance on Valentine's Thursday and a 50 percent chance on Friday... Maybe snuggle weather it is with your better half on Thursday... Doesn't sound like such a bad idea on such a special day!

However, as we head into the weekend a stronger cold front seems to be moving in on Saturday taking with it the unsettled weather weather. Most of the models are showing a cold Canadian area of high pressure settling in for Sunday in response to the passage of the cold front to bring us a significant drop in degrees. Finally Winter weather for South Florida.

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

Feeling the HEAT

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

We are going to be feeling the Heat once again this afternoon. Summer officially begins on Friday and wouldn't you know it... it's started a few weeks early for us with temperature reading a few degrees above where we should be for this time of year. The weather so far has been great and outside of a spotty inland storm today and Thursday that is basically it. On Friday, we could see some more moisture around.

Tropical Depression #2

Tropical depression Two made landfall over Belize Monday night, with gusty winds and heavy rain. The main threat over the next day or so over Belize, Northern Honduras, Southern Yucatan and Guatemala will be rain. Flash flooding over mountainous areas will be likely as 6 inches of rain are expected in the next 48 hours. 

Low rain chance for now

Dad's day weekend was nice if you had outdoor activities planned and the start of the week is just the same. A low rain chance is expected on this Monday. We have a strong area of high pressure in control and if we see any showers or storms they will form well inland due to an East-Southeast breeze. However, seasonal chances are expected from Tuesday through Thursday. Originally the thinking was that we were going to tap into some tropical moisture associated with a disturbance (tropical wave) in the Northwestern Caribbean Sea, but it seems like the majority of it will be suppressed to the South. We will be monitoring moisture levels carefully. For now, only a 30-40% chance of rain is expected through Thursday.

Sunny & Hot Father's Day Weekend

Looking like summer and feeling like summer.

Summer doesn't begin for another week or so, but it sure feels like it. We are expecting mostly sunny conditions both Saturday and Sunday with highs in the low 90's, and only a slight chance for inland rain every day.  Wishing all the great Dads a very wonderful Father's Day!!!
