Faith Based Events

Monday’s forecast calls for another windy day throughout South Florida.  The East Coast metro area and the Keys will also see mostly sunny skies and periods of showers, while the Gulf Coast will be sunny with the chance of a shower.  Expect a high risk of dangerous rip currents at the Atlantic beaches and moderate to major coastal flooding at both coasts and in the Keys.  Highs on Monday will be in the mid-80s.

Hurricane season isn’t over yet, and we’re now tracking two features in the Atlantic.  The first is the low off the coast of the Mid-Atlantic states.  This feature is likely to become a subtropical cyclone before it accelerates northeastward into the middle of the ocean this weekend.  But expect high winds, coastal flooding, and dangerous surf conditions along the Mid-Atlantic and New England coasts for the next few days.  The other feature is a trough of low pressure well to the east-southeast of Bermuda.  It has a low chance of becoming a depression as it moves slowly to the north-northeast and into an area that’s hostile to development.
