A recent rainy weekend brought some relief to South Florida but fell short of alleviating the ongoing drought. Rain chances are expected to diminish this week, with only a 10% likelihood from Tuesday onward, influenced by dry air. Major cities like Miami and Fort Lauderdale are significantly below their usual rainfall. Although isolated thunderstorms may occur, any associated tornado risk remains minimal. Temperatures will stay in the mid-80s with humidity enhancing the heat index, while the dry season shifts towards the start of summer by early April.
Each major South Florida metropolitan has seen well below the level of rain usually experienced during the region's dry season. Miami is about 7.5 inches below normal, Fort Lauderdale is about 5.5 inches below normal and the area around the Palm Beach International airport is about 12 inches below normal, Baxter said.
Barry Baxter with the weather service said a weak, isolated tornado cannot be ruled out, either.
Cold fronts will kind of stop coming down here early April, and then summer starts to show its face to us for South Florida.
