Friday features plenty of clouds, showers, and storms around South Florida.  Heavy rain is possible in spots.  Expect an elevated risk of dangerous rip currents at the Atlantic beaches.  Coastal flooding is possible near high tides.  Highs on Friday will be in the mid-80s in the East Coast metro area and the Keys and in the upper 80s along the Gulf Coast.

Saturday will bring morning showers and afternoon storms to the East Coast metro area, while the Gulf Coast will be mostly sunny with some afternoon showers and storms.  Clouds, showers, and storms will linger in the Keys.  Coastal flooding is possible near high tides, especially in the Keys and along the Atlantic coast.  Saturday’s highs will be mostly in the mid-80s.

Sunday will feature lots of sun around South Florida, but we can’t rule out a stray shower or storm in spots in the east coast metro area.  Sunday’s highs will be in the upper 80s on the mainland and mostly in the mid-80s in the Keys.

Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples’ Day will see plenty of sun, a few clouds, and maybe a stray shower in spots.  Monday’s highs will be mostly in the upper 80s.

Faith Based Events

Tuesday’s forecast calls for good sun, a few clouds, and maybe a stray shower, especially near the Atlantic coast.  Highs on Tuesday will be mostly in the upper 80s.

In the tropics, Tropical Storm Jerry is lashing the northern Leeward Islands.  On Thursday evening, Jerry had maximum sustained winds of 65 miles per hour and was moving west-northwest at 18 miles per hour.  There are now tropical storm warnings for Barbuda and Anguilla, St. Barthelemy and St. Martin, Sint Maarten, and Guadeloupe and the adjacent islands.

Jerry is forecast to reach hurricane strength on Saturday after it turns to the north.  It is expected to turn to the east late Sunday or early Monday and head into the open ocean.

Elsewhere, a non-tropical low about 500 miles northwest of the Azores has a low chance of becoming a subtropical or tropical depression in the next couple of days.  Then this feature will move into colder waters and an area of strong wind shear, which will end any chance of development.
