Drier Days Ahead

Drier Days

South Florida will see drier days ahead, starting on Thursday. Some early showers and isolated afternoon storms are in the forecast for Thursday, but the tropical rains we’ve seen for the past couple of days have moved on. Thursday’s highs will be near 90 degrees.

image6Friday will be even drier, and highs in the low 90s will feel like the triple digits.

We’ll be back in our typical summertime pattern of a few coastal showers and a few inland storms on Saturday, and highs will be in the low 90s.

A stray shower or storm will pop up on Sunday, but the real story will be steamy heat, with highs in the low to mid 90s.

Faith Based Events

Monday will bring an early shower or two, the chance of mostly inland afternoon storms, and highs in the low 90s.

In the tropics, Earl became a category 1 hurricane late Wednesday afternoon and made landfall in Belize overnight. At 5 am Thursday, Earl was located near 17.3 North, 88.9 West, and was moving west at 15 miles per hour. Maximum sustained winds were 75 miles per hour, but Earl will weaken as it moves over Mexico over the next couple of days.
