South Florida will feel the August heat on Friday, with only a few afternoon storms to cool things down. After starting with a few hit-and-miss early showers along the east coast and in the Keys, we’ll see sun, clouds, highs in the sticky low 90s, and isolated afternoon storms. Most of the activity on Friday will be well inland from populated areas.
Saturday will see sun and clouds, highs in the low 90s, and a few afternoon storms forming along the sea breezes of both coasts, so look for a storm or two to form in the far western suburbs of Miami-Dade and Broward, the interior, and east of the Naples area.
Sunday’s forecast will call for more of the same, with highs in the low 90s and a few afternoon storms forming away from the immediate coasts and in the interior.
Monday will bring an early shower or two along the east coast, highs in the low 90s, and some afternoon storms forming along the sea breezes of the east and Gulf coasts — keeping most of the storms away from the populated areas of South Florida, with the exception of the far western suburbs of Miami-Dade and Broward.
Tuesday features a few early showers along the east coast, highs in the low 90s, and scattered storms forming along the sea breezes of both coasts.
In the tropics, Tropical Storm Fiona is struggling with wind shear and dry air, and it may lose its battle this weekend. At 5 am Friday, Fiona was located near 17.6 North, 42.7 West, and was moving west-northwest at 10 miles per hour. Maximum sustained winds were 45 miles per hour, but weakening is expected soon, with Fiona becoming a remnant low on Saturday or Sunday.
Elsewhere, we’re watching a wave about 300 miles southwest of the Cape Verde Islands. This wave is moving westward and should reach the Lesser Antilles by midweek. It has a medium chance of becoming a depression over the next 5 days. And a wave just off the African coast has a low chance of developing over the next several days.
