Not too wet, yet (this week)

Big and frequent rounds of rain have been the weather story in what s been a ultra soggy start to September all across south Florida As we cross the midway point for the month we re now running a notable surplus in rainfall Miami for example is now over -inches of rain above average for the month so far This comes after the Rainy Season was lagging until only in recent weeks The start of this week is typical with temperatures and rain chances which remain scattered There s a change coming though and it s not too far in the future Do you remember the Florida Front that drenched the peninsula last week Well the remnants from it are retreating The boundary axis and deep moisture is lifting back at us from south to north slowly Forecast models show that it s another tropical flow arriving on Wednesday and it s likely to be the start of another widespread wet stretch How long will it last The peak seemingly occurs Wednesday and Thursday but there s reason to believe the overall pattern lasts longer If the disturbance lingers as weather maps suggest we could see repeated rainy days that carry over into the weekend Because of the saturated conditions there will be a continued threat of standing water and flooding It s also noteworthy that areas of rain are forecast to move very slowly To sum it up rain accumulations could be notable in spots Continue to be rain-ready and realize that we re in the wettest period of the year
