Early Rain, Mostly Dry Afternoon; Quiet In Tropics

Dry Afternoon

Dry AfternoonSouth Florida is still locked in a pattern of early rain on Tuesday, but the afternoon should be mostly dry. After some overnight storms, Tuesday will bring passing showers and storms from mid-morning into lunchtime. Then we’ll see sun and clouds, with the bulk of the storms pushed well inland by the sea breeze. Highs on Tuesday will be in the low 90s.

Dry AfternoonWednesday will feature early showers and storms again, followed by sun and clouds and the chance of an afternoon storm mostly in the western suburbs. Wednesday’s highs will be in the low 90s.

Look for periods of heavy rain and gusty winds on Thursday as the moisture from what was Tropical Depression # 4 moves in. Highs on Thursday will be near 90 degrees.

Friday will see showers and storms, along with some periods of sun. Friday’s highs will be near 90 degrees.

Saturday’s forecast includes a mix of sun and clouds and some afternoon storms developing along the sea breeze. Highs on Saturday will be in the low 90s.

We’ll continue to watch the tropics, but the National Hurricane Center doesn’t expect any development during the next 5 days.
