A front will approach South Florida throughout the day on Thursday increasing the moisture and instability ahead. Models are in better agreement that showers and storms will develop in the afternoon. A strong-end one can’t be ruled out producing heavy rain, lightning and gusty winds. Storm Prediction Center has placed Broward and Northeast Miami-Dade under a marginal risk of seeing isolated strong storms capable of producing heavy rain, lightning and gusty winds. The air will start to dry up throughout the day on Friday.
RAIN ON THE WAY? Models insist that a weak front will approach on Thursday. Showers & storms possible developing with the daytime heat. A few could be strong. Showers could linger through Friday. Drier for Mother's Day weekend! @wsvn @7weather #flwx pic.twitter.com/rXbcCurGqa
