Too much rain?
Another stormy stretch is in progress It follows the trend of what s been a very soggy start to the month of September On Monday heavy rain hammered the Miami and Ft Lauderdale metro areas again It resulted in numerous flood advisories and between and inches of rain across a wide swath of southeast Florida With -days left in the Rainy Season you might say we re making up for lost time and rain Until in the last few days it s been drier than usual The wet pattern is due to a stalling front to our north For the greater part of this week we ll see this stretched-out boundary lingering across central Florida Also stuck is the deep tropical moisture that isn t budging We all feel its steamy presence when we step outdoors with the extra-high humidity With daytime heat and the instability of sea breeze boundaries reoccurring rain and storms are likely to return Since the air is holding so much moisture it gets unleashed by big downpours that can arrive suddenly On Tuesday be prepared for another push of thunderstorms favoring the mid-day afternoon and early evening hours The concern will continue for ponding on roads and saturated conditions Once we get into the late week period basically Friday and beyond we may see a slug of slightly drier air It could nudge down from the north and allow for more sunshine and dry time Showers won t be eliminated but less coverage is manageable into the weekend
