Nice end to the week

Posted by Phil Ferro

Friday Morning:

A cool morning in store but no as chilly as on Thursday. Expect morning lows in the low to mid 50's. The afternoon promises to have temps in the 70's under mostly sunny skies.

Weekend:

Should be nice and mild, but strong onshore winds will make it diffilcult for beach goers and boaters alike. We will see choppy seas, threat of rip currents, and some minor beach erosion. We'll keep monitoring it.

Also, there is a big time change this weekend.

Here we go, DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME begins this weekend. A reminder you need to set your clocks ahead 1 hour Sunday Morning at 2 am. (That's the official word). We suggest to change it Saturday night before you go to bed. Happy Spring forward!

2013 NHC Forecast   And so it begins. With the release of NOAA's seasonal outlook, I officially ramp up the Tropical Blog for 2013. This is what NOAA says we can expect for the 6-month season, which gets underway June 1.  

It's Official...

It shouldn't come as a surprise, (but yes) the start of the south Florida "rainy season" has begun!   According to the National Weather Service, the start date officially began on Saturday May 18, close to the median start of May 20.  Our rainy season lasts for 5-months, ending around the third week of October. 

Still On Flood Watch

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.
