Monday features breezy conditions, mostly sunny skies, some morning showers, and afternoon storms in the East Coast metro area. The Gulf coast will be mostly sunny and breezy with a few afternoon storms. Look for sun, clouds, and some showers in the Keys. A high risk of dangerous rip currents remains at the Atlantic beaches through at least Monday evening. Highs on Monday will be in the upper 80s right at the Atlantic coast and in the Keys, near 90 degrees along the Gulf coast, and in the low 90s elsewhere in South Florida.
Tuesday will bring sun, clouds, and some showers and storms on a brisk breeze to the east coast metro area. The Gulf coast will be sunny in the morning, with clouds and a few showers and storms developing in the afternoon. The Keys will see good sun, a few clouds, and a shower in spots. Tuesday’s highs will be mostly in the low 90s in the east coast metro area and in the upper 80s along the Gulf coast and in the Keys.
Wednesday will feature lots of sun in the morning on the mainland, with some clouds, showers, and storms moving in during the afternoon. The Keys will see a mix of sun and clouds. Wednesday’s highs will be near 90 degrees in the east coast metro area and in the upper 80s along the Gulf coast and in the Keys.
Thursday will start with sun and some showers in the east coast metro area, but showers and storms will develop in the afternoon. The Gulf coast will see a sunny morning, with showers and storms moving in during the afternoon. Look for clouds and showers in the Keys. Thursday’s highs will be in the upper 80s.

In the tropics, Tropical Storm Imelda is bringing tropical storm force winds and heavy rain to the central and northwestern Bahamas, where tropical storm warnings are in effect until at least Monday morning. Early Sunday evening, Imelda was about 55 miles south-southwest of the northwestern Bahamas and was moving north at 9 miles per hour. Maximum sustained winds were 40 miles per hour at that time, but strengthening is expected. The tropical storm watch in Florida from the Palm Beach/Martin county line to the Flagler/Volusia county line has been discontinued.
Imelda is forecast to become a hurricane once it turns away from the north Florida coast on Tuesday and moves in the direction of Bermuda. But the Atlantic coast from central Florida to North Carolina can expect dangerous rip currents, rough surf, and beach erosion for the next several days.
We’re also watching Hurricane Humberto, which could bring tropical storm conditions to Bermuda on Tuesday. Early Sunday evening, Humberto was about 470 miles south of Bermuda and was moving northwest at 13 miles per hour. Maximum sustained winds were 145 miles per hour at that time. There’s now a tropical storm watch for Bermuda for Humberto (and could be one later in the week for Imelda). Swells from Humberto will affect the U.S. east coast with dangerous rip currents and rough surf beginning on Monday.
