A Few Strong Thunderstorms this Afternoon

Looks like the east coast this afternoon may see some strong thunderstorms develop. The main threats are high winds and small hail.

Before any activity begins to develop we will have a very nice morning with mostly clear skies. This morning we do have dewpoints in the low 70s so there is a good amount of moisture in the lower atmosphere which could aid in the development of showers and thunderstorms later.

More as we go into the afternoon.

Warm-Up Begins

What a beautiful treat we have had for the past few days. Since the front came through on Sunday the humidity has dropped along with the temperature. This is not normal for April but not unheard of.

This morning's low was 51F at PMP after a high on Tuesday of 68F. The rest of the southeast coast was also in the 50s.

Tonight will be 10+ degrees warmer and we will surly feel the warmth begin tomorrow and gradually get warmer for the weekend. Shower chances will return Friday but nothing widespread through Saturday.

You will also notice a couple of things on the blog. The weather server is down again, it is recording data from the home station but will not communicate with the internet. I will hopefully have sometime this weekend to work on it. This is also the server that emails me all the weather data from the NWS. Thankfully there should not see any extreme weather for the next few days.

Also on the blog I have added my Twitter feed. From there you can also find links to "follow me."

Have a nice night.

Hot Sunday, Cool Monday through Wednesday

An extreme in temperatures is in store for us during the next few days. Sunday we should have a high in the afternoon near 90F. Then a front will approach the area and cloud up with a few showers around by late afternoon.

Early tomorrow evening the front should push through and bring our winds from the north or northwest. This will usher win cooler and dryer air. Lows Monday morning will be around 57F, highs in the lower 70s.

Then Tuesday will be the coolest of the week/month and probably for a while. Lows Tuesday morning I am forecasting at 51F and a high of 71F. This is unseasonably cool for April. We could be near record lows for Tuesday, let's see how close we are.

Wednesday will still be below normal temperature wise but the warming trend will begin.

Enjoy the refreshing weather.

Active Weather This Morning and Tonight

Overnight we had a strong line of showers and thunderstorms move through the area. A little after 4am Pompano Airport recorded a wind gust of 48mph and here at weather central we recorded a wind gust of 26mph. This was followed by the power going out and the computer that records and uploads the information to wunderground to fail :( Do not know when I will or if I can get that machine back up but I will keep you posted.

Though we did not see the rain this afternoon as forecasted we did see it tonight. We did have a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for eastern Broward but that was canceled early. Currently there is some great lightning and rumbles of thunder.

There is another line of thunderstorms behind the one that just swept through which will bring more rain but probably will not be severe. Keep those weather radios on tonight!
