South Florida Getting Soaked

The remnants of a tropical wave continue to soak parts of South Florida. This wave is no longer being followed for development by The National Hurricane Center.

High pressure to the East and upper-low to the West will keep steering flow out of the Southwest. This will allow for deep tropical moisture to hang around, leaving our rain chances high through the weekend. Therefore, look for on and off downpours.

The primary hazard going into the weekend will be street flooding. Computer models showing about 2 to 5 inches of rain possible especially along coastal communities. The “extra high” high tides won’t help the situation.

Today in the Tropics

Broad area of low pressure located several hundred miles Southeast of the Lesser Antilles is battling a lot of dry air and Saharan Dust located to the North. The chance for development has gone down to a 40% (medium chance) through the next 5 days. There is still the possibility it could form into a depression before reaching the islands. Regardless, scattered showers and storms will likely arrive between Monday and Tuesday.

Stay tuned to your Storm Station for the latest!
