Rainy Days Ahead in South Florida

SCARY PICTURES OUT THERE. NIKKI. AS THOSE PEOPLE ARE DEALING WITH THOSE CONDITIONS. YEAH, IT’S SO SCARY OUT THERE. AND THOSE SANTA ANA WINDS ARE JUST CREATING SUCH FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR FIRES TO START AND TO SPREAD. SO SEASON THERE. YEAH, IT’S VERY UNFORTUNATE TO SEE. BUT FOR US HERE IN SOUTH FLORIDA, YOU KNOW, FIRE DANGER IS HIGH BECAUSE OF THE DROUGHT THAT WE HAVE BEEN SEEING. AND I THINK WE’RE FINALLY GOING TO BEGIN TO SEE SOME CHANGES WITH THE DROUGHT MONITORS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS, BECAUSE WE’RE FINALLY GOING TO BE SEEING SOME MUCH NEEDED RAINFALL OVER THE NEXT A WEEK OR SO. BUT TAKE A LOOK AT THE LATEST DROUGHT MONITOR. WE STILL HAVE SEVERE AND EXTREME DROUGHT EXTENDING ACROSS THE ENTIRETY OF SOUTH FLORIDA AS WE’RE INCHES AND INCHES BEHIND ON OUR YEARLY RAINFALL TOTALS. BUT LIKE I SAID, WE’RE IN FOR SOME IMPROVEMENTS. HERE’S A LOOK AT THE FORECASTED RAINFALL OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS. WE COULD SEE THREE FOUR INCHES OF ACCUMULATION, SOME MUCH NEEDED RAINFALL. AND IF WE DO GET THOSE RAINFALL TOTALS, WE WILL SEE SOME CHANGES IN THOSE DROUGHT CONDITIONS. SO THAT IS SOME GOOD NEWS. SO WHEN ARE WE GETTING ALL THE RAINFALL. WE CAN SEE IT HERE ON YOUR FIRST WARNING WEATHER SEVEN DAY FORECAST. NOW FOR YOUR EASTER SUNDAY. WE DO HAVE SOME SHOWER OPPORTUNITIES IN THE FORECAST. AND HERE’S A LOOK AT YOUR DAY ON FUTURE TRACK. I THINK THE MAJORITY OF IT WILL BE COMING IN DURING THE AFTERNOON, AND YOU CAN SEE THOSE SHOWERS COMING IN OFF THE ATLANTIC, AND THE BULK OF THEM WILL BE PUSHING TOWARDS THE WEST AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON, THE LATE AFTERNOON. BUT TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. THAT GULF BREEZE IS GOING TO BEGIN TO TRY TO PUSH MORE OF THOSE SHOWERS BACK INTO OUR DIRECTION AS WE HEAD INTO THE LATE EVENING. SO BY LATE EVENING WE COULD SEE SOME SHOWERS RETURNING FOR OUR FA INTERIOR SECTIONS. SO FOR TODAY, JUST BE FLEXIBLE WITH YOUR PLANS. IT’S NOT GOING TO BE A WASHOUT AS SHOWERS WILL BE VERY HIT OR MISS IN NATURE, BUT THAT’S NOT GOING TO BE THE CASE AS WE HEAD INTO THE WORKWEEK. WE’RE EXPECTING A WASHOUT IMPACT WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY AS A SHOWER AND STORM COVERAGE WILL BE AT AT LEAST 50% OR GREATER. AND THEN EVEN AS WE LOOK AHEAD TO FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, WE WILL KEEP SOME SHOWERS AND STORMS IN THE FORECAST. WE WILL JUST SEE THAT COVERAGE BACK OFF EVER SO SLIGHTLY. AND THIS IS ALL DUE TO A FRONTAL BOUNDARY THAT’S GOING TO BE SWEEPING IN STARTING ON MONDAY, AND THEN KIND OF HANGING AROUND FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE WEEK. A CHECK IN WITH RADAR THIS MORNING, YOU WILL NOTICE A COUPLE OF SPOTTY SHOWERS MOVING IN FROM THE SOUTHEAST OFF THE ATLANTIC, MOVING INTO SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF PALM BEACH COUNTY. SO THIS IS GOING TO BE THE TREND THROUGHOUT THIS MORNING. TEMPERATURES CURRENTLY SITTING 60S AND 70S WITH 68 IN OKEECHOBEE, 73 RIGHT NOW FOR JUPITER FARMS, 75 IN BOYNTON AND 78 DEGREES OVER INTO BOCA. SO FOR TODAY, TEMPERATURES STILL GOING TO BE SITTING LOW TO MID 80S. SO STILL PRETTY CLOSE TO WHAT WE EXPERIENCED YESTERDAY DESPITE THE FACT THAT WE WILL SEE A COUPLE OF SHOWERS IN THE FORECAST FOR TODAY. AND TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN AGAIN A COUPLE DEGREES ABOVE SEASONAL AS HIGHS SHOULD BE CLOSER TO ABOUT 8081 DEGREES FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. FOR THE PALM BEACHES, AS WELL AS INTO THE TREASURE COAST. BUT WE WILL BE A LITTLE BIT ABOVE THAT AGAIN. SHOWER ACTIVITY GOING TO BE VERY HIT OR MISS IN NATURE. SO JUST HAVE THE RAIN GEAR HANDY. BE FLEXIBLE WITH YOUR PLANS, BUT I DO THINK YOU WILL STILL HAVE PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES TO GET OUTSIDE FOR THAT EASTER EGG HUNT AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THOSE MOMENTS, BECAUSE WE WON’T REALLY HAVE MANY OF THOSE.
