6/24 – Mostly Sunny and Dry, Risk of Rip Currents

Currently 84F in Pompano and we will see a mostly dry weekend, with just a very slight chance of a passing shower through tomorrow.  Our only weather hazard is at the beaches where we have a moderate risk of rip currents.  

Looking ahead our temps will not see much fluctuation, the GEFS shows this over the next 7+ days:


Surface analysis this morning shows we are under the influence of high pressure to our east.  Also seen here are the remnants of Cindy now over Pennsylvania/DelMarVa area.


In comparison to our drier weather this weekend we can see over the past 21 days coastal Broward has accumulated 11-15 inches of rain, much more than “normal” for this time of year.


Have a great day and wear sunscreen if you are out!

6/18 – Father’s Day Forecast, Some Sun and Showers, Tropics Update

Happy Father’s Day!  Starting our day at 82F with a few showers in the north Broward area moving off to the north.  We are likely to see more showers today with a high of 87F.  Main weather threats will be moderate to heavy rain and lightning.  Not a complete washout but you will need a rain plan.

Tropics have become a bit active for this time of year with the NHC watching two areas for possible development. 

Neither are a direct threat to south Florida but the Gulf system could enhance our rain chances and amounts if it takes a more westerly track towards the state.  Development is not expected to be significant so this would be more of a rain threat. Some of the latest model rains show the wide spread of possibilities for the center.


Air Force Recon will check out this system later today.

Enjoy your day!

6/10 – Clouds and Some Showers Today

We have seen some blue skies over the last couple days but more clouds and some rain are in store for us today.  Latest radar shows scattered showers over the area.


Official rainfall forecast amounts are less than a half inch today along the east coast.   This will not be a washout so do not cancel outdoor plans.


High today will be 87F.  10 day GFS output shows we are in our summer temp pattern.

Enjoy you day!
