Breezy With Storms, Busy in the Tropics

Juneteenth features breezy conditions, a mix of sun and clouds, and plenty of showers and storms.  Brief periods of heavy rain are possible.  A high risk of dangerous rip currents remains at the Atlantic beaches through Thursday morning.  Highs on Wednesday will be mostly in the upper 80s in the East Coast metro area and the Keys and in the low 90s along the Gulf Coast.

Thursday will bring a brisk and gusty breeze, a mix of sun and clouds, some storms in the morning, and plenty of showers in the afternoon and evening.  Thursday’s highs will be in the upper 80s in the East Coast metro area and the Keys and in the low 90s along the Gulf Coast.

Friday will feature clouds and showers in the East Coast metro area, while the Gulf Coast will see morning storms giving way to lots of showers in the afternoon and evening.  Friday’s highs will be near 90 degrees.

Saturday will be cloudy with showers and storms on a gusty breeze in the East Coast metro area.  The Gulf Coast will be partly sunny with periods of showers and storms.  Saturday’s highs will be near 90 degrees on the mainland and in the upper 80s in the Keys.

Faith Based Events

Sunday’s forecast calls for a mix of sun and clouds alternating with plenty of showers and storms.  Highs on Sunday will be near 90 degrees on the mainland and mostly in the upper 80s in the Keys.

In the tropics, we’re watching a low several hundred miles east of the Bahamas.  This feature has a low chance of becoming a depression before reaching the southeast U.S. coast on Friday or Saturday.  But it will bring plenty of tropical moisture to the region — and South Florida will see some of it in the next few days.

The area of disturbed weather in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico has been designated Potential Tropical Cyclone # 1 by the National Hurricane Center — and it’s likely to become Tropical Storm Alberto at any time. Tropical storm warnings are in effect from Port O’Connor, Texas to Puerto de Altamira, Mexico.  Flooding rains and damaging winds are expected in the area well before the system reaches the coast early on Thursday.  Much of southern Texas could see heavy rain as well.

As if that isn’t enough, another disturbance is forecast to form in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico over the weekend.  This feature has a low chance of development right now, but its expected track to the north or northwest is likely to bring additional heavy rain to coastal Texas and northeastern Mexico.
