It could be a very wet weekend

Conditions are setting up for South Florida to get heavy rain both Saturday and Sunday. 

If nothing changes, the first half of the weekend could be the wettest. 

Mother Nature gave us a nice and mostly dry day on Friday, but it appears its came at a price.

Our tropical moisture-pipeline is still intact and models are suggesting it will continue to drag rain here.

The wind flow over the Gulf of Mexico is from the southwest, while in the Atlantic its from the southeast.  This combo will draw moisture from the Tropics and bring us a good chance for heavy rainfall.  

If all the ingredients fall in place, chances for rain will stay very high over the next 48 hours. The National Weather Service says, that we could see anywhere between 3 - 5 inches of rain with higher amounts possible. Despite the ongoing drought conditions, it may flood if the heavy rain materializes.  

 Because of this potential for heavy downpours, a Flood Watch may be issued for South Florida this weekend.  Stay tuned to WSVN, for the latest updates.  

Notice next week is also being forecast to end up wet, that's because the models are picking up additional mositure from the Western Caribbean invading South Florida by then.
