By Monday, the storm chance increases even more as a wider coverage of storms is expected. A few storms could be strong and produce heavy rainfall and gusty winds both on Sunday and Monday.
Tuesday on looks drier, but it is going to be a muggy week!
The latest drought monitor released on Thursday has significantly worsened. Unfortunately, 98% of the state is now in a drought or is going into a drought, including all of Central and South Florida. Fort Pierce is now considered abnormally dry.
Extreme drought conditions have spread further east. Boca Raton through West Palm Beach is now in extreme drought.
The rain will not be enough to improve drought conditions, for now, but some signs are pointing to the start of the rainy season as we head into the first few weeks of May.
