The rain has not stopped across parts of South Florida on Sunday. This is incredibly beneficial for the soil, especially in western Miami-Dade and Broward, which are dealing with abnormally dry to moderate drought conditions, but not so much for those who still plan to be outdoors on Sunday. This rain is associated with a weak frontal boundary that is retreating northward and, with some sun peeking through at times, could produce heavier downpours and perhaps a lightning strike or two. The winds are strong, too, at times over South Florida, and are creating more dangerous conditions along the Atlantic coast. Small craft advisories are in effect through at least Sunday late afternoon, and a high rip current risk is in effect, likely to continue through Monday.
This frontal boundary will continue to move northward and increase instability across parts of Central Florida on Monday. Although South Florida will be a bit quieter than Sunday, scattered showers are still possible, mainly confined to coastal areas.
Florida will be sandwiched between two systems early this week. One weak frontal boundary is moving northward, and another cold front with a quick-moving low-pressure system that will pull lots of moisture from the Gulf.
Rain, associated with this next system and cold front, will start Monday late afternoon across Pensacola and spread over the I-10 corridor and the Panhandle overnight into Tuesday. The weather will begin to dry from west to east over the Panhandle starting Tuesday night, but move over North and Central Florida Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday…
