Remember last week? There was barely a breeze in south Florida. It’s a much different setup this week. Strong high pressure continues to expand across the eastern United States. For Florida, the clockwise flow (around the high) is bringing healthy onshore winds. On Tuesday, gusts clocked to over 30 mph, at times. The windy pattern has a lot of life left in it. Since the high isn’t going to budge for several more days, the “windy and warm” conditions will prevail.

Ocean-bred clouds with patchy showers are also possible through the middle of the week. Recently, some areas (like southern and eastern Miami-Dade) saw some fast-moving bands of rain off of the ocean. The chance will continue as winds pick up a bit of moisture and send it westward.

If you’re in the mood for some cooler weather, you’ll have to be patient. There are currently no cold fronts making their way southward. In fact, the overall storm track has even shifted farther north due to the retreating jet stream. This pattern won’t break down for awhile. The next chance we have for a front and any noticeable cooling won’t come until Halloween, or shortly afterward. Still, the long range forecast doesn’t signal any big change in temperature as November begins. It’s worth noting, though, there’s a good potential for more of these windy stretches. Stay tuned.
