Saturday features a mix of sun, clouds, showers, and storms in the East Coast metro area, and heavy rain is possible in spots.  The Gulf Coast will be mostly sunny with a few afternoon showers and storms.  Look for clouds, showers, and storms in the Keys.  Coastal flooding is possible along the Atlantic coast and in the Keys.  A high risk of dangerous rip currents remains along the Palm Beach County coast, and there’s a moderate rip current risk at the Broward and Miami-Dade beaches.  Highs on Saturday will be in the mid-80s.

Sunday will bring plenty of sun as a weak front brings drier air into South Florida.  But we can’t rule out a few afternoon showers or even a stray storm in the East Coast metro area.  Expect an elevated risk of dangerous rip currents at the Atlantic beaches, and minor coastal flooding is possible along the Atlantic coast and in the Keys.  Sunday’s highs will be in the mid-80s.

Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples’ Day will feature lots of sun, but the East Coast metro area could also see a stray afternoon shower.  Monday’s highs will be in the mid-80s.

Tuesday will be sunny on the mainland, with maybe a shower or two in the East Coast metro area.  The Keys will see a nice mix of sun and clouds.  Tuesday’s highs will be mostly in the upper 80s.

Faith Based Events

Wednesday’s forecast calls for plenty of sun, a few clouds, and maybe a stray shower in spots.  Highs on Wednesday will be mostly in the mid-80s.

In the tropics, Tropical Storm Jerry has pulled away from the northern Leeward Islands, after having brought heavy rain and flash flooding to the region.  On  Friday evening, Jerry had maximum sustained winds of 50 miles per hour and was moving north-northwest at 15 miles per hour.  Jerry is no longer expected to reach hurricane strength, and it is forecast to turn north this weekend and then to the east early next week, keeping it well east of Bermuda.
The low in the northern Atlantic briefly became Subtropical Storm Karen, but it lost its tropical characteristics Friday afternoon.  What’s left of Karen is expected to dissipate late in the weekend.
