Wednesday features breezy conditions, plenty of sun, and a few clouds at times.  We can’t rule out a quick East Coast shower on the breeze.  A high risk of dangerous rip currents is in place at the Atlantic beaches until at least Thursday evening and surf conditions will be hazardous.  Minor flooding at high tides is likely along the Atlantic coast on Wednesday into the first half of the weekend.  Highs on Wednesday 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 be breezy around South Florida.  The East Coast metro area will see mostly sunny skies with maybe a stray shower in spots, while the Gulf Coast will be sunny.  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.

Friday will feature good sun and a few clouds on a strong breeze in the East Coast metro area.  The Gulf Coast will see lots of sun.  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 morning will be breezy and sunny in the East Coast metro area, but look for some clouds and a few showers in the afternoon.  The Gulf Coast will still be sunny and warm.  Saturday’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

Sunday’s forecast calls for another breezy day with a mix of sun, clouds, and a few showers in the east coast metro area.  The Gulf Coast will be sunny once again.  Highs on Sunday 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 was moving northeastward on Tuesday, but that motion won’t last.  Tammy is forecast to slow down and turn to the east, at least for a while, as it’s caught between two ridges.  Computer models are still not in agreement on Tammy’s ultimate track once it passes over or very near Bermuda on Saturday.  The models are in agreement that Tammy will lose its tropical characteristics and a bit of its punch late on Thursday or early Friday.  We’ll have to watch closely to see if any portion of the U.S. coast is affected by Tammy or its remnants early next week.

Elsewhere, Tropical Depression # 21 dissipated on Tuesday after coming ashore in Central America.  Fortunately, there’s nothing else brewing in the tropical Atlantic right now.
