Plenty of Moisture

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

South Florida plenty of moisture has been left behind a front that has stalled over the Florida straits. Therefore, gloomy skies continue for South Florida through early Saturday. Until the front gets pushed away, a chance for showers will be in the forecast. Luckily the lack of sunshine is helping to keep the showers that have been around from growing stronger.

Most of the computer models are suggesting that another cold front currently over the middle part of the United States will be moving through quickly on Saturday to take away the unsettled weather and pick up the breeze out of the North up to 20mph. The breeze will help to bring in the cold air quickly and boy are we going to be feeling Winter here in South Florida. Temperature readings are expected to tumble into the 40s on Sunday morning. It looks like the chilly weather will stick around through Presidents Day. This could the coldest air so far for us this season...

A Freeze Watch has been issued for Broward county for araes West of the Sawgrass Xpwy and US 27 starting Saturday night and lasting through Sunday morning.

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

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.

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.

NOW.
