Building Breeze Here, Tropics Still Busy

Tuesday features mostly sunny skies and an increasing and gusty breeze.  Look for an elevated risk of dangerous rip currents at the Atlantic beaches on Tuesday and for the next few days.  Highs on Tuesday will be mostly in the mid-80s.

Hazardous marine and beach conditions are expected over South Florida starting Tuesday and persisting through the workweek. Hazards include: a high risk of rip currents and high surf on the east coast, coastal flooding, and hazardous marine conditions for small craft.

Wednesday will be breezy with plenty of sun and some clouds in spots.  Minor flooding at high tides is possible along the Atlantic coast starting on Wednesday and lasting for the rest of the week.  Wednesday’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.

Thursday will feature lots of sun with a strong breeze.  Thursday’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.

Faith Based Events

Friday will be sunny, and breezy conditions will continue in the East Coast metro area.  Friday’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.

Saturday’s forecast calls for a mix of sun and clouds with the chance of a stray shower.  Highs on Saturday will be in the mid 80s in the east coast metro area and the Keys and in the upper 80s along the Gulf Coast.

In the tropics, Hurricane Tammy continues its northward trek in the western Atlantic.  Tammy is being affected by wind shear, and it will weaken as it interacts with a trough and drier air enters its circulation.  Tammy is forecast to lose its tropical characteristics on Thursday and turn more westward by early Friday.  Bermuda can expect tropical storm force winds and rough surf conditions as Tammy passes over or near it on Saturday.  We’ll have to watch to see what impacts Tammy or its remnants will have on the U.S. east coast late in the weekend or early next week.

The area of disturbed weather just off the Nicaraguan coast became Tropical Depression # 21 late Monday afternoon.  TD # 21 will bring gusty winds and very heavy rain to portions of Central America on Tuesday and Wednesday.
