Breezy Wednesday But Watching the Tropics

tropics

South Florida will be breezy and drier on Wednesday, but we’re also watching the tropics for a late May disturbance that could have some effect on our holiday weekend weather.

Meanwhile, Wednesday features sun, clouds and maybe a stray shower on the breeze, the chance of an isolated inland storm, a moderate risk of dangerous rip currents at the beaches, and highs in the mid to upper 80s.

Friday will see a few more showers but mostly sun and clouds, and highs will be in the seasonable upper 80s.

Faith Based Events

 

 

two_atl_2d0The holiday weekend forecast is complicated by a disturbance in the Atlantic which has a low chance of development over the next several days. The system is likely to move slowly to the west-northwest or northwest, and if it remains poorly organized, moisture from it could lead to plenty of passing showers and storms over South Florida from Saturday through Memorial Day.

A slightly stronger system (or one remaining well east of the Bahamas), would limit us to passing showers and a few inland storms and put our afternoon highs near 90 degrees during the holiday weekend.

We’ll keep an eye on it, but it’s a reminder that hurricane season is just around the corner.
