Rain Fades in South Florida as Heat Builds Later This Week

A weak front near the Florida Straits is breaking down to lower rain chances through midweek.

Overview

  • Most showers thinned out by Monday evening after 1 to 3 inches fell in parts of southeast Broward, prompting a Street Flood Advisory for Dania Beach and Fort Lauderdale.
  • The soggy start traced to a weekend front that stalled near the Florida Straits, where a small low formed Monday and drove clouds, an onshore breeze, and pockets of heavier rain.
  • Rain chances drop from about 30% Monday to isolated pop-up showers Tuesday, with highs holding near the mid 80s.
  • Drier air takes over from midweek, and forecasters expect highs to climb into the upper 80s and reach widespread 90s from Thursday into the weekend.
  • May often ushers in South Florida’s wet season later in the month, so this is a short-lived, front-driven spell rather than the start of the true rainy pattern.
