Wet Weather

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

South Florida first we have to deal with possible record heat on Wednesday, then wet weather as we round up the week. In fact, the rain chances grow on Valentine's Day Thursday. Most of the computer models show the leading edge of a cold front moving through helping the clouds build and create an unsettled environment. The cold front will linger through early Saturday, but before it gets pushed away it will leave lots of clouds behind and heavy rain at times for Friday. This is actually a good thing since we have been extra dry and running a large deficit in both Miami and Fort Lauderdale since November 1st. The forecast is also introducing the possibility of seeing thunderstorms as well.

By Saturday, a reinforcing shot of cold air will be sent our way and it will clear skies and drastically drop our temperatures overnight. Right now, we are looking at the upper 40s for low temperatures and upper 60s for highs come Sunday. On Monday, it will still be chilly, but lows will be in the low 50s with highs in the low 70s. Dry conditions will persist through the upcoming week.

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

Signs of Summer

Posted by Brent Cameron

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.

Our Weekend Warm-up

We were spoiled with a mild start to the week as the air was drier and the highs were below normal. Over the next few days, it will be hot with more humidity as we reach seasonal afternoon heat. The dome of warm air that has not budged will bring the peak heat of the upper 80s with a chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms over the next few days.

Our Weekend Warm-up

Get ready for a "Feels-like" summer weekend. We'll see a little of everything:

Heat Humidity Sunshine And some afternoon storms Expect temps to reach the upper 80's (Typical is 87°) both Saturday and Sunday. And of course, there will be a chance for showers and inland storms as well.

Good-bye mild weather:

I hope you've enjoyed our recent mild temps teamed up with drier air. A dome of warm air will push the mercury readings into the ballpark of our 87° average over the next couple of days. A cold front sweeping to the north will add more clouds to the scenery with a slight chance of isolated showers and thunderstorms into next week.
