Gray, gray, gray....

Posted by Phil Ferro

The weekend is here, and it will be a great one to be indoors watching a football game. (I heard there's a good one on this Sunday.!)

Seattle-like weather for us here through much of next week. It will not be cool however, but mostly cloudy. A huge plume of clouds is over us that has its origins over the Yucatan Peninsula. This thick blanket of clouds will slowly move east, taking its time, and keeping us gray. It will be breezy at the coast and the wind, from time to time, will push in a stray shower or two. Hopefully next weekend it will be sunnier.

Wet Wednesday....

    After seeing record rainfall in Miami-Dade, we are expecting the soggy, damp conditions to continue on this Wednesday. We have plenty of deep tropical moisture over the area keeping S.Florida unsettled. The contributing factor to all the rain is an area of low pressure located in the central Caribbean. Combined that  low with our upper-level steering winds moving from the southwest to the northeast and we are a bull's-eye for the showers and storms. The National Weather Service issued an Flood Watch for all of Miami-Dade until tonight as more rain is expected throughout the day. So please drive safe, and pack your patience.           Keep it tuned to the Storm Station for the latest!                 Julie Durda WSVN Morning Meteorologist          

RECORD RAIN

Tropical downpours resulted in record rainfall for Miami, on Tuesday!   Over 5-and-a-half inches of rain fell at Miami International Airport and a flash flood warning was issued for east central Miami-Dade,   In addition to the Miami area getting soaked, much of Broward County did, as well.  Severe storms were firing-up, and we were (once again) concerned with possible tornadoes within the frequent thunderstorms. 

Tropical Moisture moves In...

What a difference a day makes. We woke up to some scattered showers that caused some headaches for the morning commute. We are forecasting a better chance of showers for the next few days as some deep tropical moisture will move in from the southwest. This set up will keep our local area unsettled with a chance of some strong storms at times. We still have the stubborn upper-level steering winds coming from the southwest to the northeast so any storms that develop inland will track towards the metro and coastal areas.

More Storms?

We tend to "expect" developing storms this time of the year, so it's not a surprise when they pop-up.  Lately, we've been getting stronger and more frequent storms than usual, though!   The pattern in place involves a lot of humid air that continues to fuel  developing rain and storms.  Going back to the end of last week, flood advisories have been issued over many areas of south Florida.  The deep moisture is likely to linger this week, and we'll need to watch for more flooding potential.
