Sunday Afternoon Storms

By Donna Thomas, SouthFloridaReporter.com Meteorologist, Sept. 13, 2015 – South Florida will see storms again on Sunday, ushering in a wet start to the workweek. After a few early showers, Sunday features building clouds, highs in the muggy low 90s, and storms in the afternoon and evening, with heavy downpours in spots. An ocean breeze builds on Monday as a weak tropical wave passes by, and we’ll see a few early showers, a risk of dangerous rip currents, highs near 90 degrees, and late evening to overnight storms, some of which could be strong. Storms and showers linger on Tuesday, with plenty of clouds and highs in the upper 80s. We’ll see some early showers, highs near 90 degrees, and a few stray afternoon storms on Wednesday, a pattern that will last through Friday.
