Breezy Showers and Sun Here; Subtropical Storm Patty Forms — But Not in the Caribbean

Sunday features breezy conditions, and a mix of sun, clouds, and showers in the East Coast metro area.  The Gulf Coast will be sunny with a gusty breeze, while the Keys will see a mix of sun and clouds.  A high risk of dangerous rip currents remains at the Atlantic beaches through at least Monday morning.  Highs on Sunday will be in the mid-80s.

Monday will bring breezy conditions and mostly sunny skies to the mainland, but the East Coast metro area will also see some afternoon showers.  Look for clouds and showers in the Keys.  Monday’s highs will be in the mid-80s in the East Coast metro area and the Keys and in the upper 80s along the Gulf Coast.

Election Day will feature breezy conditions, plenty of clouds, and periods of showers and storms on the mainland, while the Keys will be cloudy with periods of showers.  Tuesday’s highs will be in the mid-80s.

Wednesday will be breezy with lots of clouds and periods of showers. The highs will be in the mid-80s.

Faith Based Events

Thursday’s forecast calls for a mix of sun, clouds, and some showers at times.  Highs on Thursday will be in the mid-80s again.

In the tropics, we have a new tropical storm — but not in the southwestern Caribbean.  Instead, Tropical Storm Patty formed from the area of low pressure west of the Azores on Saturday morning.  At that time, Patty had maximum sustained winds of 65 miles per hour and was moving southeast at 13 miles per hour.  There’s a tropical storm warning for the entire Azores island chain, which Patty is forecast to move through this weekend.

Closer to home, we’re focused on the low in the southwestern Caribbean, which has a high chance of becoming a depression in the next couple of days as it moves northward or northwestward.  At the very least, this feature will bring heavy rain to Jamaica and portions of Cuba.  Computer models indicate this feature will enter the Gulf of Mexico, but there is no consensus on a future track.

On a related note, we’re watching a disorganized area of showers and storms near Puerto Rico and Hispaniola.  This feature is forecast to be absorbed by the low that’s now in the southwestern Caribbean in a day or two — but it will continue to bring heavy rain to the Greater Antilles and the southeastern Bahamas.
