⛈️ Wet Tuesday For Florida; Tropics Heat Up

Wednesday will bring clouds and periods of showers and storms again.  Wednesday’s highs will be mostly in the upper 80s.

Thursday will feature a mix of sun and clouds with periods of showers and storms.  Thursday’s highs will be near 90 degrees.

Friday will see plenty of sun and a few clouds early, followed by showers and storms in the mid to late afternoon.  Friday’s highs will be in the low 90s.

Saturday’s forecast includes sun, clouds, and periods of showers and storms.  Highs on Saturday will be in the low 90s.

It’s busy in the tropics.  To start, the wave that’s bringing us lots of rain has a low chance of developing into a depression.  But whether it does or not, it will bring significant rain and gusty winds to portions of the northwestern U.S. Gulf coast.  Also, a weak low that just came ashore is bringing heavy rain to portions of eastern Texas and Louisiana.  And the wave in the central Atlantic is a bit better organized as it moves westward.  This wave has a medium chance of developing during the 5 days.
