Florida Is Watching The Tropics Today

Don’t let Sunday’s typical early November weather fool you.  A tropical system is developing to our southeast, and it will have impacts on South Florida as early as Tuesday night.

Sunday features a gusty breeze and a mix of sun, clouds, and periods of showers in the east coast metro area.  The Gulf coast will be sunny, but a few storms are possible in the afternoon.  A high risk of dangerous rip currents remains at the Atlantic beaches on Sunday and much of the week.  Minor flooding near high tides is possible along the Atlantic coast.  Highs on Sunday will be in the mid-80s.

Monday will bring good sun, a few clouds, and breezy conditions.  The east coast metro area will see some afternoon showers in spots.  Monday’s highs will be in the mid-80s.

Faith Based Events

Tuesday will feature increasingly breezy conditions and periods of showers and storms as we watch closely for a system that is expected to affect the Bahamas and South Florida.  Tuesday’s highs will be in the mid-80s.

Wednesday’s weather will depend on the track and strength of the tropical system.  For now, we’ll say it will be windy and cloudy with periods of showers and storms.  Wednesday’s highs will be in the low 80s.

Thursday’s forecast calls for very breezy conditions, lots of clouds, and periods of showers.  Highs on Thursday will be in the mid-80s in the east coast metro area and the low 80s along the Gulf coast.

In the tropics, we’re watching that broad area of low pressure centered in the northeastern Caribbean.  Computer models indicate this feature could develop tropical or subtropical characteristics as it tracks near or over the Bahamas and possibly South Florida.  The National Hurricane Center gives this feature a high chance of becoming a tropical or subtropical depression (and possibly a storm) in the next five days.  Regardless of development, this system will bring strong winds, periods of heavy rain, and rough surf conditions to the Bahamas and South Florida.  We’ll need to keep a very close eye on it, because this system is likely to develop quickly.

Elsewhere, the low several hundred miles east of Bermuda has a high chance of becoming a depression as it moves generally to the northeast.  And Lisa has become a remnant low in the Bay of Campeche.
