Saturday features mostly sunny skies with some afternoon showers and storms on the mainland.  The Keys will see good sun, a few clouds, and maybe a shower in spots.  An elevated risk of dangerous rip currents is in place at the Atlantic beaches through Sunday.  Highs on Saturday will be mostly in the upper 80s in the east coast metro area and the Keys and in the low 90s along the Gulf coast.

Sunday will bring a mix of sun and clouds with periods of showers and storms to the east coast metro area and the Keys.  The Gulf coast will be mostly sunny in the morning, but showers and storms will develop in the afternoon.  Sunday’s highs will be in the low 90s on the mainland and the upper 80s in the Keys.

Monday will feature more clouds than sun and plenty of showers and storms around South Florida.  Heavy rain is possible in spots.  Monday’s highs will be in the low 90s in the east coast metro area, near 90 degrees along the Gulf coast, and in the upper 80s in the Keys.

Tuesday will be another day dominated by clouds, showers, and storms.  Heavy rain is possible in spots.  Tuesday’s highs will be mostly in the low 90s in the east coast metro area, near 90 degrees along the Gulf coast, and in the upper 80s in the Keys.

Faith Based Events

Wednesday’s forecast calls for mostly sunny skies alternating with periods of showers and storms on the mainland.  Look for clouds, showers, and storms in the Keys.  Highs on Wednesday will be in the low 90s on the mainland and the upper 80s in the Keys.

In the tropics, Tropical Storm Gabrielle is holding its own and is forecast to become a hurricane on Sunday.  Early Friday evening, Gabrielle was 510 miles northeast of the northern Leeward Islands and 850 miles southeast of Bermuda.  Maximum sustained winds were 50 miles per hour, and Gabrielle was moving west-northwest at 12 miles per hour.  Gabrielle is forecast to turn to the northwest and then northeast, which will bring it east of Bermuda on Monday.

Elsewhere, we’re keeping an eye on a wave that’s moving west-northwest in the eastern Atlantic.  This wave has a low chance of becoming a depression during the next several days.
