South Florida has been stuck in a soggy and dreary setup all week long but there are some changes ahead by next week. We just have to get through additional storms this weekend first.It’s all because of deep, tropical moisture flowing into Florida while a weak, slow-moving front treks south across the state. As this front continues to approach and eventually passes through Sunday night, this will keep rain chances elevated and our pattern unsettled.Today, expect sunshine in the morning with a spotty shower, then scattered showers and storms during the afternoon, especially across inland locations. This sunshine paired with a light wind should help heat up temperatures quickly to around 90F by the early-afternoon. Like yesterday, isolated instances of flooding and strong storms will remain possible.On Sunday, as the front gets even closer, this will increase rain chances come more to a 60% chance with scattered, anytime showers and thunderstorms expected. Best chance for rain o...
