Saturday features clouds, showers, stormy periods, a high risk of dangerous rip currents at the Atlantic beaches, and a moderate risk of rip currents along the Gulf coast. Some storms could be strong, and gusty winds, downpours, dangerous lightning, and even an isolated tornado are all possible late Saturday into Sunday. Highs on Saturday will be in the low 80s.Sunday will be another stormy day, especially in the morning, and localized flooding is possible. Sunday’s highs will be in the low 80s.

Subtropical Storm Alberto is the culprit responsible for our stormy weather. At 5 am EDT on Saturday, Alberto was located near 19.9 North, 85.6 West, and was moving north-northeast again at 6 miles per hour. Maximum sustained winds were 40 miles per hour. Tropical storm watches are in effect on the Gulf coast from Indian Pass, Florida to Grand Isle, Louisiana.
The forecast shows Alberto moving slowly northward toward the northern Gulf coast throughout the weekend, making its closest approach to South Florida late Saturday into Sunday. While the center of the system is well to our west, we’ll see tropical rains from the season’s first named storm through the weekend and into the first part of the workweek.Disclaimer
