Periods of heavy rains have been the constant this week, especially over South Florida where some areas have received over 3 inches of rain in the last 3 days. More is coming.

If you have our app and your notifications are on, you have received our alerts about the WeatherRadar being lit up like a Christmas tree! Aside from the typical afternoon thunderstorms that produce lots of lightning and torrential rains, there are some areas across Southeast Florida, where storms have been more intense and prolonged in the last 2 days. The silver lining is that temperatures have stayed in the 80s, a rarity in the summer!

This weekend, the winds will shift and will come from the southeast. Still, there is a pocket of tropical moisture that will arrive in South Florida, keeping the rain chances higher than normal, which means, storms and showers are possible even in the morning and during the evening. This moisture will move over central and west Florida on Sunday, increasing storm coverage.

Keep in mind that next week the winds shift, mainly from the south, which will make the temperatures hotter. We are also watching for more moisture to come in from the south and southwest, increasing the showers and storms across Florida. As more rains fall, flood risk could also increase as the grounds in some spots continue to be overly saturated.
