Labor Day will bring some sun, more clouds, and widespread afternoon showers and storms.  Highs on Monday will be near 90 degrees.

Tuesday will feature a mix of sun and clouds alternating with showers and a few storms.  Tuesday’s highs will be near 90 degrees.

Wednesday will be another day of partly sunny skies and periods of showers and storms.  Wednesday’s highs will be near 90 degrees.

Thursday’s forecast includes good sun, clouds at times, and passing showers and storms.  Highs on Thursday will be in the low 90s.

In the tropics, a strong wave approaching the central Atlantic has a high chance of becoming a depression in the next couple of days, and we’ll keep an eye on it.  A wave nearing the central Caribbean has a low chance of developing before upper level winds become unfavorable in a few days.  And another wave is emerging into the eastern Atlantic from the African coast.  This wave has a high chance of development by the middle of next week.
