Thursday features mostly sunny skies and a gusty breeze in the East Coast metro area as a weak front approaches our area. The Gulf Coast will be sunny, while the Keys will see a nice mix of sun and clouds. A high risk of dangerous rip currents remains at the Atlantic beaches through Thursday evening. Moderate coastal flooding is likely along the Atlantic coast and in the Keys and minor coastal flooding is expected along the Gulf Coast as king tides return on Thursday and into the weekend. Highs on Thursday will be in the low 80s along the Atlantic coast and the mid-80s elsewhere in South Florida.

The story in the waning days of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season is Potential Tropical Cyclone # 19, which is forecast to become Tropical Storm Sara sometime on Thursday. There’s a hurricane watch for portions of the Honduran coast and a tropical storm watch for portions of the coast of Nicaragua. Potential TC # 19 had maximum sustained winds of 30 miles per hour late Wednesday afternoon, and the system was moving west at 6 miles per hour. A turn to the northwest is expected by Monday, and warnings are likely for the Yucatan and Belize. Computer models are not in agreement beyond that point, but at least some impacts from this system are possible for Florida around the middle of next week. We’ll keep you posted.
