The weather, currently. Drier days are here now that the high pressure over the western Atlantic has built westward towards the Gulf of Mexico and allowed for an east/southeast wind flow. This will keep showers away from the east coast metro areas—a pattern that should stick around for
The weather, currently. The wetter weather we experienced this weekend in South Florida will continue Monday as tropical moisture remains in place over the region. Numerous showers and scattered thunderstorms are expected to start this week off, developing along the sea breezes over the inland communities of Miami and Ft.
The weather, currently. Friday will see a similar weather pattern to Thursday, with some brief rain in the morning, including possible predawn thunderstorms, followed by a partly sunny afternoon. Showers forming over Atlantic waters overnight will move onshore early, dissipating quickly after making landfall. Later in the day, showers will
The weather, currently. The Miami and Ft. Lauderdale metro areas were able to dodge most of the rain activity that occurred over southern Florida on Wednesday thanks to a surface high pressure system over the western Atlantic generating southeast winds that kept storms away from the east coast. A similar
The weather, currently. The high pressure system over the western Atlantic that began influencing South Florida Tuesday and helped keep shower activity west of Miami and Ft. Lauderdale in the afternoon will continue to build over our area on Wednesday. As it shifts winds from the south/southeast, storm development
The weather, currently. Some of the atmospheric conditions driving daily weather patterns in South Florida begin to shift Tuesday around the time we would expect afternoon showers—the exact timing of which will dictate how much rainfall occurs over Miami and Ft. Lauderdale. A stalled front over the Southeast had
The weather, currently. A typical summer pattern of sunshine followed by afternoon showers and thunderstorms is in place for Miami and Ft. Lauderdale. Sandwiched between an upper-level trough over western Cuba and a surface front over the southeastern United States, unstable conditions prevail over South Florida with south to southwesterly
The weather, currently. The typical summertime pattern we have been seeing in South Florida for the last few days continues on Friday, with limited showers and thunderstorm activity developing along the East Coast sea breeze around midday. These showers could pop up over the inland suburbs of Miami and Ft.
The weather, currently. High levels of moisture in the atmosphere have contributed to scattered to numerous rain showers around South Florida for the past few days, but drier air will start pushing in from the east on Thursday that will suppress rain activity for the east coast metro areas. While
The weather, currently. Miami and Fort Lauderdale have been able to avoid widespread strong thunderstorms over the past few days, but Wednesday looks to be fairly active as abundant moisture lingers behind a tropical wave that passed early this week. The prevailing wind flow turns from easterly to southeasterly on
The weather, currently. With an upper level low pressure system exiting the picture, the long 4th of July weekend looks to bring South Florida relatively benign weather. Being that it is rainy-season, showers can still appear. But no widespread strong thunderstorm activity is expected. High pressure will be the most
The weather, currently. An upper level low pressure system will cross southern Florida from east to west on Thursday, and will likely generate thunderstorms for most of us in greater Miami and Fort Lauderdale. This system already produced scattered to numerous areas of rain on Wednesday. As it positions itself
The weather, currently. Showers and thunderstorms have been forming over the interior of South Florida the last few afternoons, but the east coast metro areas have avoided most of this rain thanks to a more stable atmosphere and easterly wind flow keeping these storms clouds away. However, a mid-to-upper level
The weather, currently. Keep an eye out for strong thunderstorms again on Tuesday. A moderate to breezy easterly wind flow over South Florida is pushing the sea breeze further inland and promoting the development of showers and thunderstorms that could make their way back to the coastal metro areas in
The weather, currently. A wet pattern will continue over South Florida to start the week off, as a that made it all the way down to Lake Okeechobee is keeping tropical moisture in place over our area. Sea breezes moving from the coast and rising over the interior of the
The weather, currently. It’s been a delightful stretch of comfortable weather for this time of the year in South Florida, but changes are in the offing. Moistening air and a light northeasterly steering flow will allow for a few thunderstorms to return on Friday, mostly inland. Low pressure stretching
The weather, currently. Weakening influence of surface high pressure to our north is being replaced by a weak low and frontal system dipping toward the southeastern United States, making for a slightly less stable atmosphere in South Florida Thursday. However, these pressure gradients are low, so it is more likely
The weather, currently. An extremely unusual situation is unfolding over the Eastern seaboard this week, as a meridional pattern in the jet stream — a weaker, meandering flow as opposed to a strong, horizontal, West to East flow (zonal pattern) — has developed, directing winds southward along the coast. This pushed a
The weather, currently. The Saharan Dust has pushed to the west of our area, but steamy and dry conditions continue for South Florida on Friday and into the weekend. The morning could see some coastal showers linger from overnight offshore rain, but any Friday afternoon or evening showers and thunderstorms
The weather, currently. Hot and hazy conditions dominate Thursday’s forecast as the plume of Saharan dust remains over South Florida. A few spots could feel some brief, cooling rain in the morning, but the bulk of today’s precipitation will be over the interior of the peninsula in the
The weather, currently. A strengthening Bermuda high pressure system has drawn the Saharan Air Layer over South Florida, bringing dry and dusty air that will limit rain activity through the rest of the week. Still, some atmospheric moisture persists near the surface, which will form into isolated showers—potentially even
The weather, currently. With the Bermuda high pressure system nosing in, our winds are coming in off the Atlantic Ocean. That has led to a few widely scattered morning showers for coastal locations, which in the midday and afternoon can lead to scattered thunderstorms over inland portions of metro South
The weather, currently. Some locations in South Florida have had two feet of rain accumulate in June. Flooding has caused damage to property in the area. It’s been a slog. But the weather is finally turning drier in Miami. High pressure nosing in from the Atlantic has produced a
The weather, currently. Since South Florida’s encounter with a tropical disturbance last weekend, daily episodes of heavy rain have led to new urban floods in many parts of Miami-Dade and Broward counties. In total, 12 to 15 inches of rain have fallen in less than a week — with more
The weather, currently. There’s no stopping the afternoon downpours in South Florida, at least for the next couple of days. With the westerly winds it produces aloft, a trough in the Gulf of Mexico continues to steer midday and afternoon thunderstorms towards Florida’s southeast coast. Each thunderstorm can
The weather, currently. The weekend deluge produced by the tropical remnant of Hurricane Agatha is still impacting us today. The ground remains water-logged and new daily downpours can easily produce new flooding. A Flood Watch has been in place for parts of this week due to this risk of new
The weather, currently. Rain is in the forecast for South Florida, and it could be heavy. When the precursor to Tropical Storm Alex was lifted northeastbound, it was a dip in the jet stream that steered it offshore Florida. Now, that same dip in winds aloft is destabilizing the local
The weather, currently. South Florida will continue to see a good deal of sun on Monday. Floodwaters produced by what is now Tropical Storm Alex are still ponding in low and poor drainage areas, and any new rain showers can lead to impassable roads again. But thunderstorms were limited in
The weather, currently. Tropical Storm Alex is more than likely being baptized today. It would be the first named storm to form after the official start of the Atlantic hurricane season on June 1st in eight years. The month of May each of the past 7 years had been active
The weather, currently. Rainfall forecasts are trending up. I’m seeing model output of as much as 10 inches in metro South Florida. My message continues to be to brace for flooding — which in recent years has become more severe because of global warming. Climate-related factors include a warmer atmosphere
The weather, currently. The low-pressure system that remains from former Hurricane Agatha is expected to move northeast into the southern Gulf of Mexico overnight and into Thursday. With the Gulf sea surface temperatures running as much as 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 °F) hotter than normal — a chronic problem
