Some of the coldest weather we have had in a couple years arrives today. Currently we are at 77F with a cold front now approaching the west coast of south Florida.

This front is currently producing snow in the panhandle area of the state. Here are the observations from the area.

The front comes through the area today with rain and a few thunderstorms possible. Rainfall amounts are expected to be about a about a half-inch. Currently a Severe Thunderstorm Warning is in effect for the Naples area. The latest HRRR shows the peak rain around noon today with clearing by mid-afternoon. Temps drop quickly with the arrival of rain.

Once we dip below 70F today we will not see it again until possibly Tuesday before the next front comes through to reinforce this cooler weather. Sunday morning lows will be in the 40s throughout the area, latest NWS forecast shows this.

The latest Euro shows a cool/cold, dry week ahead with no rain after today.

Enjoy your day, find your jacket and I will have an update by tomorrow morning.

Meteorological winter has arrived (December 1) and it does not feel like it, yet. Starting today at 69F in Pompano with a high this afternoon of 80F. No indications of any rain today so if you are out shopping or heading to the FAU Stadium you have no weather worries.

We are currently in a very inactive weather pattern but this will change as we will see a cold front approaching the area on Wednesday which will increase our rain chances. This cold front will move through the area late Thursday with clearing skies and our cooler weather. The latest Euro does show the wet weather hanging around for a couple days and those cooler temps behind the front.

The GFS is not as aggressive currently on this cooler weather so will watch the trends going into the next couple days.

Enjoy your day and get out to enjoy it!

Happy Thanksgiving. After a stormy, rainy Thanksgiving our weather has turned quite nice. Waking up this morning at 66F in Pompano after a normal low of 64F earlier. In fact the 60s are all across south Florida.

Looking at the past week this is our first normal low morning. Overall our temps have been just a bump above average with our highs and lows out side of our high from last Monday.

We should remain dry trough Tuesday/Wednesday with no major shifts in temp. The latest Euro keeps this trend going for about the next week.

Next weekend we could see some cooler weather but a bit too early to count on that.

There are no weather threats today so get out and enjoy the day!

Good morning as we start off at a very pleasant 66F with clear skies. We will be warming up to 82F with virtually no rain today. Like yesterday we could see a very light coastal shower later but nothing to keep you inside for.

As mentioned yesterday, rain chances increase tomorrow and into Tuesday. Then again Thursday into Friday. At this time nothing severe but rain on our turkeys look very possible. Comparing the Euro and the GFS for the next 10 days we can see some agreement with this.

Both indicate a modest cool down after the holiday weekend. I will update the forecast as we get closer via Twitter ( @PompanoWx ) and here.

In the meantime enjoy the day. Here are a couple pictures from sunrise at Pompano Beach.

67F with mostly clear skies this morning in Pompano. Chances of rain are very low (not quite none) today but there is no reason not to get out and enjoy very typical weather for this time of the year. High today will be 81F.

Sunday should be about the same with rain chances increasing late tomorrow ahead of a cold front that will moderately drop our temps early next week. Looking at the Euro meteogram for Pompano for the next ten days we see the rainfall amounts peaking Tuesday and again for the Thanksgiving/Friday time frame. No huge swings with our temps which should remain wild through the week ahead.

Specifically looking at Thanksgiving, a cold front is expected to approach then stall over the area. This will be the focus of the rainfall for the first part of the holiday weekend. Right now it looks like the front will washout for next weekend lowering rain chances. Here is the synoptic map for Thanksgiving Day.

Enjoy our weather for this weekend and get out to enjoy it!

A nice 73F with some showers around this morning.  I had nearly a third of an inch overnight and early this morning at my place.  Showers are moving towards the SW off the ocean.

Clouds remain around today but I think we will see fewer showers going into the later morning and afternoon with a high of 85F.  Tomorrow we should not see as much in the way of shower activity.  Looking into the week we will hold onto a slight chance of showers until late week when a front approaches the area and could stall.  Temps will remain the same.  Here is the latest graphic from Euro for Pompano from weather.us which is producing some very nice graphics and access to models.

Tropics are not quiet but no concern for us at this time.  The one system shown below will not affect us.

Finally set your clocks back one hour tonight as we end Daylight Saving Time. (yeah!)

Enjoy the day.

Plenty of rain from what became Trpical Storm Philippe yesterday across SE Florida.  I recorded 8.21 inches in my CoCoRahs gauge.  Some of the official rainfall totals from the NWS were not as high:

We are cloudy and 70F at 7am.  Skies will clear today and turning cooler this afternoon.  We will see a high of 78F but b late afternoon we should be around 68F. So keep a jacket with you.

The only weather hazard is rip currents at the beaches today due to the winds, which will be between 15mph and 25mph at times.  Here is Deerfield Beach from this morning where you can see how rough the surf is.

I will have an update later today with the Halloween forecast.  Enjoy the day!

Not the driest forecast ahead today as Potential Tropical Cyclone 18 gets a bit more organized and expected to move southeast of us ahead of a cold front.  The cold front will absorb the cyclone tomorrow quickly moving it out of our area leaving behind drier and cooler weather.

Currently 79F in Pompano with mostly clear skies.  As we go through this Monring we will see rain moving in from the south and by late afternoon rain and thunderstorms will be widespread over south Florida.  Latest HRRRR shows rain starting around 2pm and sticking around into the over night hours. 

Main threats today will be heavy rain and gusty winds.  Rainfall amounts could be two to four inches through tomorrow afternoon with isolated amounts of six inches.  Latest GFS run shows rainfall amounts mostly in the two inch area.

And as I mentioned earlier cooler weather is on its way for Sunday.  Highs and lows for the coming week according to the GEFS look very nice for this time of the year.

Enjoy the day and stay safe and dry!

A very warm 82F to start this Sunday off in Pompano with clouds, a strong easterly breeze, a a few showers.  Latest radar looks like this.

Today we should not see as many showers as we did yesterday due to drier air that has worked into the area.  The clouds and breeze will stick around like yesterday though with a high of 87F.  There is a high risk of rip currents so again stay out of the area waters for swimming and small boating.

Looking to the weeks ahead we still see the front approaching the area on Tuesday with a line of showers and a few thunderstorms ahead of it then some Florida fall air will be upon us.  It will not last long but will give us a refreshing burst mid week.  Lows across the state according to the latest GFS for Thursday morning:

Here is Pompano Beach from earlier this morning.  Enjoy your day!

Starting our Saturday off with a temp of 81F with a refreshing, easterly breeze.  We do have a high risk of rip currents today so stay out of the water at the beaches today.  Current wind and gusts across the area:

Like yesterday we will see some quick moving showers today with cloudy skies, high 87F.  Looking into the middle of this week we will see a quick cool down Wednesday into Thursday.  With the passage of the front that will bring this quick shot of cooler weather we could see some thunderstorms, will keep an eye on this trend.  By Friday we will be back to our warmer weather.  The GEFS shows this.

Get out and enjoy some of the Autumn festivities, but keep an umbrella near.  Enjoy!
