Showers and Storms Around

By Donna Thomas, SouthFloridaReporter.com Meteorologist, Sept. 25, 2015 – South Florida will see more showers and storms on Friday. After plenty of early morning rain in the Keys, look for showers to work their way up to mainland South Florida later in the morning, followed by highs in the upper 80s and afternoon storms in spots. Tidal flooding will be a problem in coastal areas of South Florida through early next week.

Saturday will bring some passing morning showers, highs near 90 degrees, and afternoon storms in spots. Moisture streams in on Sunday, with showers and storms in the forecast, along with highs in the upper 80s. Look for plenty of rain, including periods of heavy downpours and localized flooding, on Monday and Tuesday. Highs will be in the mid to upper 80s. Showers and storms will begin to taper off by Wednesday.

As of 5 am Friday, Ida was located near 21.7 North, 45.3 West, and was moving north-northwest at 3 miles per hour. Maximum sustained winds were 35 miles per hour. The area of showers and storms in the western Caribbean and over the Yucatan will move northward into the Gulf of Mexico, but it has only a low chance of developing into a depression. However, it will bring heavy rain, and moisture from the system could bump up rain chances in Florida.
