Comfortable Now

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

Cold blast is over and it is comfortable now... In comparison to the 40s that we experienced yesterday it is rather comfortable as Tuesday has started off into the 60s. The reason for the change is due to a weakening area of high pressure. This  area of high pressure is slipping into the Western Atlantic Ocean and now we have a Southeast wind. As a result, helping to draw in warm humid air that South Florida is used too.

The majority of the week is looking seasonably warm and dry. A weak front should  be nearby tomorrow night, but it will lose steam and fall apart before it gets here. This will allow another area of high pressure to rebuild and give way to warmer conditions to round up the week. No major weather changes expected any time soon.

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

Still On Flood Watch

Posted by Phil Ferro

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

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.

Severe Weather Expected

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.

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.
