Florida Is Hot And Sticky With Afternoon Storms Saturday; Tracking The Tropics

Saturday features plenty of sun, a few clouds, and maybe a passing shower in the morning.  Showers and storms will develop in the mid to late afternoon.  The east coast metro area will see a gusty ocean breeze.  A moderate risk of dangerous rip currents remains at the Atlantic beaches on Saturday and through the holiday weekend.  Highs on Saturday will be in the low 90s — but it will feel about 10 degrees hotter, so stay hydrated.

In the tropics, the low east of the Leeward Islands is now Tropical Storm Earl.  At 5 am, Earl was located near 18.7 North, 61.4 West, about 115 miles east-northeast of the Leeward Islands.  Maximum sustained winds were 40 miles per hour, and Earl was moving west-northwest at 13 miles per hour.  Earl is expected to pass to the north of the Leeward Islands on Saturday and remain well to the east of the Bahamas before recurving into the open Atlantic.

Danielle became the first hurricane of the 2022 Atlantic season, but it weakened to a tropical storm by early Saturday.  At 5 am, Danielle was located about 915 miles west of the Azores.  Maximum sustained winds were 70 miles per hour.  Danielle has been moving very slowly, but it is expected to restrengthen and accelerate to the northeast early next week.
