ANOTHER QUIET WEEK IN THE ATLANTIC BASIN

Mon, 6 Jul 2009 16:15:00 GMT

Posted 7/6/09 @ 12:15 PM EDTNone of the Forecast Models are predicting any Atlantic Tropical Systems headed for the CONUS over the next seven days...

Locally, SouthWest Florida can expect a hot weekend... Temperatures in the mid 90's with heat indexes reaching well into the 100's. Our chance for afternoon stor...

Mon, 16 Mar 2009 18:28:00 GMT

Please take time to visit the Full South Florida StormWatch Site. Quick Post 3/20/09I am going to have to skip my weekend update this time, with temperatures near 80 and no rain in the forecast there is really not much to say anyway. Enjoy your weekend... Update Posted 3/16/09 @ 2:30 PM ESTLooks like we have a chance for some rain this week... Good news, yes, or at least sort of...
