Rounds of rain are becoming frequent again. The extra activity over south Florida is related to a soupy air mass and very little push in wind. This stagnant pattern is typical this time of the year and especially across the tropical regions. Expect storms to fire up, often during the heating of the day while the sea breezes try to push inland. As we continue through this last week of September, high pressure remains weak and distant. Times with sunshine will be rather limited so enjoy what brightening comes our way. A minor weather change is in sight but it’s not going to break us out of this “weather slump.” As a matter of fact, it may tend to spark even more unstable conditions! That’s because future weather maps show a weakening frontal boundary working slowly into Florida beginning late Tuesday and Wednesday. If the maps are correct and pan out, the front should settle into central Florida and then hang up. With this stationary boundary straddling the state, there’s a high chance for thunderstorms. Favored areas may also need to worry about flooding potential… should the boundary linger very late into the week. Finally, in the distant tropics, a disturbance is moving across the eastern Atlantic Ocean. It’s a healthy wave with low pressure. It’s moving steadily westward and should approach the Lesser Antilles around midweek. Stay tuned… That’s also the time when it might organize into the season’s next depression or storm. It has a “high chance.”
