Spring Showers?

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

South Florida warmer winds is eventually leading to more clouds and the possibility of seeing some showers through the end of the week. We have an area of high pressure out in the Western Atlantic Ocean to thank for the wonderful weather over the weekend. This area of high pressure is already showing signs it is weakening and with it drawing in warm winds from the South.

As we head into Tuesday, more clouds will build and a chance of showers introduced into the forecast. In fact, the chance of showers will stay with us through Friday. The reason for the showers is because of a weak front that will hover over Lake Okeechobee and then move back North as a warm front by the end of the week. Luckily, another area of high pressure will settle into the Southeast United States to bring in drier less humid air to South Florida for the weekend.

Note: Spring officially begins Wednesday March 20, 2013 at 7:02am.... Expect Spring Showers possible.

Have a great start to the week 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

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.
