When a hurricane threatens the United States, a lot of attention is focused on the path and the wind speed. Storm surge can be just as important to monitor, because it can quickly cause extreme destruction and death.

Get ready for near record heat this weekend as the 90's return to South Florida.

Pembroke Park, FL – A potent cold front pushed through the area Wednesday night. The chilly air behind it is starting to filter into South Florida. This trend will continue for the next few days, meaning a prolonged cold snap for us. This cold snap will actually last longer than usual across South Florida as our winds remain out of the north through Sunday morning. Mainly clear skies with strong sunshine will be enjoyed each afternoon with highs sitting in the low to mid 70s.

PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. – The new canopy on top of Hard Rock Stadium may not be needed to shield football fans from the rain during Super Bowl LIV, but it will be wise to check the forecast in the days leading up to the big game. No, the Super Bowl weekend will not be an entire washout, but with our great city hosting such a colossal event, it is important to highlight that part of it could be wet. A frontal system in from the Gulf of Mexico is expected to arrive on Saturday. Otherwise, we can expect mostly cloudy skies with highs near 80 and west winds shifting to the northwest at 10-15 mph. Whatever foul weather may befall the region on Saturday will be long gone by Sunday, as we make way for a gorgeous Super Bowl Sunday.
