The week will end quiet and seasonable with temperatures overnight in the upper 60’s to low 70’s and highs in the low to mid 80’s. However, an extended heavy-rain event and strong storms possible starting late Saturday into Monday for South Florida.
Computer models are coming into better agreement that another front approaching from the North and a disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico (area of low pressure) will meet to bring a deep surge of tropical moisture into the region. This means constant rains possible. In fact, we could receive upwards of 3 to 6 inches of rain through early next week. Higher amounts likely in poor-drainage areas. Also, strong thunderstorms producing gusty winds.
Flooding risk is increasing and the pattern will remain wet through a good portion of next week. Rainy season officially starts May 15th!
Week ends dry. There is the potential for heavy rain and flooding starting Saturday night through Monday. Stay tuned! @wsvn @7weather #flwx pic.twitter.com/Fptahva8Jo
