As was anticipated and predicted, we are beginning to observe tropical scattered showers and thunderstorms making their way to the coast of south Florida, close to the Fort Lauderdale area.
An onshore flow that occurs as high pressure travels offshore, in conjunction with a weak patch of tropical energy, is responsible for this observation.
Today, we anticipate that this activity will continue throughout the night in a dispersed manner, and tomorrow, we should see additional heavy showers and thunderstorms that are dispersed over the area.
Even while we do not anticipate any widespread severe weather, there is a possibility that some of these storms will be locally intense. These storms may bring with them gusty winds, frequent lightning, small hail, torrential rain, and the possibility of a few waterspouts.
In addition, rainfall and thunderstorms of significant intensity are still occurring along the shores of Louisiana and Mississippi. Because of the interaction between our tropical low and a fading front, this action is more extensive than its counterpart in Florida.
This is all related to the fact that our tropical low is diminishing. Keep an eye out for potentially hazardous marine conditions in the area, such as rough seas, strong gusts, and the possibility of a few waterspouts.
