Almost Hot

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

This weekend South Florida will be almost hot. We have a blocking area of high pressure in place and weak front stalled over North Florida with an area of low pressure. Our steamy air today will be mainly out of the Southwest and this will allow for the high temperatures to reach the middle to upper 80s. As for rain chances, they should remain low, but we can't rule out seeing the occasional spotty sprinkle or shower considering it's going to hot.

The area of low pressure and stalled front will continue to pump a lot of moisture over the Panhandle of Florida through the middle Atlantic states today. It should begin to travel to the Northeast on Sunday due to the jet stream pushing it their way. Computer models are showing that about six to twelve inches of snow may be possible around areas of Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts in the next 48 hours. Strong gusty winds and thunderstorms likely as well.

Aren't we glad to live here in South Florida? Enjoy the Winter warmth and make it a great weekend everyone!

Severe Weather Expected

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

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

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.
