Morning Showers, Some Afternoon Storms

By Donna Thomas, SouthFloridaReporter.com Meteorologist, Sept 26, 2015 – South Florida will see some Saturday morning showers, followed by some mostly inland afternoon storms. Highs will be near 90 degrees on Saturday. Tidal flooding is likely in low-lying coastal locations this weekend and early next week. Sunday will bring some early showers, highs mostly in the upper 80s, building clouds, and a few afternoon storms, especially in the western suburbs. Easterly winds during the first half of the workweek will set up passing morning showers and sea breeze storms in the afternoon. Highs Monday through Wednesday will be in the upper 80s.

As of 5 am Saturday, Ida was located near 23.9 North, 46.1 West, and was moving northwest at 6 miles per hour. Maximum sustained winds were estimated at 35 miles per hour. The National Hurricane Center forecasts that Ida will meander in the central Atlantic before eventually dissipating. Elsewhere, the area of disturbed weather over the Yucatan will move northward into the Gulf of Mexico, well west of South Florida, and will encounter winds that are unfavorable for tropical development. And an area of disturbed weather several hundred miles east of the Bahamas has a low chance of developing as it moves northward.
