Scattered thunderstorms to continue through Labor Day weekend in South Florida
PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. – Keep the rain gear handy this Labor Day weekend in South Florida.
It may not rain continuously the entire weekend, but the chance of rain is higher with a 60% chance on Saturday and 70% on Sunday.
As daytime heating picks up, storms look to be shifting inland towards the interior areas of South Florida. The high moisture content could spark some flooding concerns.
There is an expansive mid-level ridge over the central United States and a developing upper-level low just east of Central Florida.
Also, a cooler air aloft remains in place across the region. It could help spark more thunderstorms with cloud-to-cloud lightning.
A rip current statement was in effect Friday afternoon until 8 p.m. for coastal areas in Broward and Miami-Dade counties. The dangerous high rip current risk extended to coastal Palm Beach County.
