April 7: Morning downpours fade, afternoon storms possible

We started the day with a round of downpours, but they have since fizzled out. Most of South Florida is getting a break from the rain, with round two on the way this afternoon. The number of thunderstorms that develop will depend on how much sun is able to peek through the clouds. More sun will fuel more storms. Some could be strong, with gusty winds and heavy rain. Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties remain under a Flood Watch until 10 p.m. Tuesday, as some storms could drop several inches of rain.

More thunderstorms are expected Wednesday, mainly in the afternoon. The first half of the day will be drier. Similar threats are expected, including heavy rain. Drier weather will move in for the weekend, with only a stray shower or two off the water and highs in the low 80s. A more seasonable weekend is on the way.
