Elsa briefly became a hurricane again Tuesday night, but it’s back to tropical storm strength on Wednesday. At 5 am, Tropical Storm Elsa was located near 28.5 North, 83.5 West, about 75 miles south-southwest of Cedar Key and 70 miles west-northwest of Tampa. Maximum sustained winds were 65 miles per hour as Elsa has battled wind shear. The tropical storm was moving north at 14 miles per hour and is expected to make landfall during the day on Wednesday. Elsa will move across northern Florida and coastal portions of the southeastern U.S. late Wednesday into Thursday. Then Elsa will rapidly move very near the mid-Atlantic and New England coasts on Friday.
Wednesday features cloudy and windy conditions along the Gulf coast, with some strong storms early and showers at times throughout the day. The east coast metro area will see a mix of sun and clouds with showers and storms at times on a gusty breeze. A high risk of dangerous rip currents remains at all South Florida beaches, so stay away. Highs on Wednesday will be mostly in the upper 80s, but a few locations could reach 90 degrees.
Thursday will bring good sun, clouds at times, and periods of summertime showers and storms during the afternoon. Thursday’s highs will be near 90 degrees.
Friday will feature mostly sunny skies with passing showers and storms. Friday’s highs will be in the upper 80s in the east coast metro area and the low 90s along the Gulf coast.
Saturday will see a mix of sun, clouds, showers, and storms. Saturday’s highs will be near 90 degrees.
Sunday’s forecast calls for lots of sun with some showers and storms during the afternoon. Highs on Sunday will be near 90 degrees.
