South Florida Weather: High Heat and Scattered Afternoon Storms Ahead with Active Atlantic Tropics

Thursday features a sunny and hot day in the East Coast metro area, with some showers and storms developing in the afternoon.  The Gulf Coast will be mostly sunny with some afternoon and early evening storms.  The Keys will see hot sun with a few clouds and maybe a storm in spots.  Thursday’s highs will be in the low 90s — but it will feel even hotter, so stay hydrated and out of the sun.

Friday will bring lots of hot sun to the East Coast metro area, while the Gulf Coast and the Keys will see a sunny and hot day with some afternoon storms.  Friday’s highs will be in the low 90s.

Saturday will feature a mix of hot sun, a few clouds, and some showers and storms in the East Coast metro area.  The Gulf Coast will be mostly sunny and hot with mainly afternoon and early evening storms.  The Keys will see mostly sunny skies alternating with periods of showers and storms.  Saturday’s highs will be in the low 90s.

Sunday will be a sunny and hot day throughout South Florida.  Sunday’s highs will be in the low 90s.

Faith Based Events

Monday’s forecast calls for lots of hot sun and a few storms in spots on the mainland, while the Keys will be sunny and hot.  Highs on Monday will be mostly in the mid-90s in the East Coast metro and in the low 90s along the Gulf Coast and in the Keys.

In the tropics, we continue to watch a wave in the central Atlantic which is becoming better organized.  This wave has a high chance of becoming a depression before reaching the Lesser Antilles in the next few days.  Another wave just off the African coast has a medium chance of developing during the next several days as it moves westward and then west-northwestward.
Elsewhere in the Atlantic, the area of low pressure in the middle of the Atlantic became Tropical Storm Cristobal Wednesday morning.  Early Wednesday evening, Cristobal had maximum sustained winds of 45 miles per hour and was moving east at 21 miles per hour. But Cristobal is forecast to dissipate late Thursday or early Friday, well west of the Azores.
