More Thunderstorms For South Florida

 

MIAMI, Florida - Scattered thunderstorms will develop this afternoon across Florida, mainly over Southwest Florida and the Lake Okeechobee region. 

The strongest storms could contain gusty winds, heavy downpours, and frequent lightning, according to the the National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center.

Monday through Saturday

Scattered thunderstorms will be possible through most of the week.

A higher threat for showers and storms is forecast from mid to late next week as moisture increases ahead of an approaching area of low pressure over the western Atlantic. 

This low is forecast to track toward the eastern Florida peninsula and conditions may become conducive for this feature to develop.

The strongest thunderstorms could contain gusty winds and heavy downpours. Any heavy downpours could create the potential for additional flooding concerns.

Good Morning! Temperatures are on the rise with highs approaching the upper 80s to low 90s across the region. While the forecast has improved, there is a chance for scattered rain & t-storms, most likely this afternoon/early evening. pic.twitter.com/Dvd24cPniE
