"Temperatures and humidity will remain high through the three-day weekend, with "feels-like" temperatures fluctuating between 103 and 108 degrees. The intensity and repetition of daily thunderstorms may lead to flooding Saturday through Monday, "especially across the metro areas, as well as the poor drainage areas," forecasters said. The report said rainfall through Tuesday morning could be heavy at times, especially along the coast."
"The probability of rain throughout the metro area, from the coast to the western suburbs, should range from 76% to 83% each day through Sunday. Friday and Saturday will kick off a trend of afternoon and evening storms, some of which could become "strong to marginally severe," with gusty winds, heavy downpours and a good bit of lightning. Though it's too early to say where, exactly, heavier showers could lead to rain totals of 10 inches or more."
South Florida will see an increased chance of wet weather through the Labor Day three-day weekend, with most areas expecting 2 to 4 inches of rain by Tuesday morning. Intense, repeated afternoon and evening thunderstorms could drop isolated totals exceeding 10 inches, producing significant urban or flash flooding in vulnerable coastal metro and poor-drainage areas. Temperatures and humidity will stay high, producing feels-like readings between 103°F and 108°F. Daily rain probabilities across the metro area will range about 76%–83% through Sunday. A stalled frontal boundary, weak winds, abundant tropical moisture, and a pinned Atlantic sea breeze will focus heavier rainfall over coastal urban zones.
