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!

It's back. The Super-Moon. It will take place this Friday at moonrise. Hopefully Mother nature will cooperate. There is a slight chance for showers on Friday. The moon should rise at 6:30pm.

Feeling the HEAT

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.
