Much needed rain for South Florida, more rain for April
FORECASTED. WE SAID IT’S GOING TO BE A LITTLE SOGGY. I KNOW ON A WEEKEND, BUT AT LEAST YOU KNOW. YESTERDAY I SAW A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT AND ABOUT, SO WE HAD AT LEAST ONE GOOD DAY. BUT TODAY THE BENEFICIAL RAINFALL DAY. LET’S GET TO IT. I WANT TO SHOW YOU WHAT’S GOING ON OUTSIDE. BUT YEAH, OUR SKYCAM NETWORK, WE HAVE THE CLOUDS. NOT AS MUCH RAINFALL AS WHAT WE HAD EARLIER, BUT SOME PRETTY BIG WAVES DOWN OVER IN DELRAY BEACH. WE DO HAVE A HIGH SURF ADVISORY, SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY, MOST LIKELY BEACH EROSION IN THE UPCOMING DAYS, AS WELL AS A HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK AS WELL. BUT WE DO HAVE ALSO SOME VERY STRONG WINDS COMING IN FROM THE ATLANTIC. THEY’RE GUSTING INTO THE 20S AND UP TO 30 PLUS MILES PER HOUR. YOU CAN STILL SEE THE OCCASIONAL WIND GUSTS UP TO 40 ACROSS COASTAL PALM BEACH COUNTY. THAT IS WHY A WIND ADVISORY IS STILL IN PLACE ALL THE WAY THROUGH 8 P.M. HERE’S A LOOK AT THE RADAR. JUST A COUPLE MORE SHOWERS ROLLING IN FROM THE ATLANTIC. NOT AS WIDESPREAD AS WHAT WE HAD EARLIER. MORE SPOTTY. NOW, AS WE HEAD INTO THE REST OF THIS EVENING ACROSS THE TREASURE COAST. SO JUST KEEP THE UMBRELLA NEARBY. A PASSING SHOWER AT ANY MOMENT. SOME MODERATE TO HEAVIER RAIN HEADING UP TOWARDS INDIANTOWN ROAD ALL THE WAY INTO THE LAKE THERE, AND THEN SOME MORE SHOWERS OFFSHORE FROM SAINT LUCIE COUNTY INTO MARTIN COUNTY THERE AND NORTHERN PALM BEACH COUNTY. A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK RIGHT NOW. THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO GET THE DOGS OUT FOR THAT WALK. YOU CAN SEE OFFSHORE. WE STILL HAVE SOME RAIN AND WITH THE ONSHORE WIND, ANY OF THOSE SHOWERS COULD STILL EVENTUALLY COME ON TO LAND. NOW, AS FOR RAINFALL TOTALS, WE DID SEE A GOOD AMOUNT ANYWHERE BETWEEN UP TO 3.5IN OF RAINFALL EVEN MAYBE RIGHT AROUND FOUR INCHES OF RAIN. AGAIN, ALL THIS RAIN, SO VERY BENEFICIAL BECAUSE OF THE DROUGHT CONDITIONS WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ALL ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA AND THE TREASURE COAST. WE HAD A COLD FRONT MOVED THROUGH THE AREA VERY QUICKLY AND WITH THAT AND HIGH PRESSURE NEARBY IS WHAT’S GIVING US SOME PRETTY STRONG WIND GUSTS AGAIN THROUGHOUT THE DAY TODAY. HEADING INTO YOUR MONDAY, NOT AS MUCH RAIN, BUT STILL LOOK FOR SOME PASSING SHOWERS, ESPECIALLY FOR THE EARLY MORNING AND INTO THAT FIRST HALF OF YOUR AFTERNOON. A COUPLE MORE SHOWERS ROLLING IN FROM THE ATLANTIC, PUSHING OFF TOWARDS THE WESTERN HALF OF THE STATE. THAT PATTERN WILL CONTINUE TUESDAY WITH A LITTLE LESS RAINFALL. WEDNESDAY A LITTLE LESS RAINFALL AS WELL. 74 RIGHT NOW DOWNTOWN WEST PALM FINAL DAY OF THE BOAT SHOW. AT LEAST WE HAD YESTERDAY, WHICH WAS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. FRIDAY WAS GREAT. THURSDAY WAS GREAT TODAY AGAIN. ALL THIS RAIN. WE DON’T WANT IT ON THE WEEKEND, BUT WE NEEDED IT AND WE DO STILL HAVE A COUPLE MORE SHOWERS IN THE FORECAST FOR THE DAYS AHEAD. SO EASE ONSHORE WIND JUST AROUND 15 KNOTS UP TO 25 PLUS MILES PER HOUR. SO AGAIN VERY BREEZY AT TIMES. WE HAVE 80 FOR MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY. HEADING INTO THOSE FIRST COUPLE DAYS OF APRIL, WE ARE LOOKING AT MORE UNSETTLED WEATHER THROUGH THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND. INCREASED RAIN CHAN
