Tuesday features a gusty breeze, mostly sunny skies, a few morning showers, and some afternoon storms in the east coast metro area. The Gulf Coast will be sunny and breezy with a few showers in the afternoon. A high risk of dangerous rip currents remains at the Atlantic beaches through at least Wednesday morning. Highs on Tuesday will be in the low 90s in the east coast metro area and the Keys, and in the mid to upper 90s along the Gulf coast. But it will feel about 10 degrees hotter around South Florida — so stay hydrated and out of the sun as much as possible.

There’s lots to discuss in the tropics. In the Gulf of Mexico, the wave that passed to our south this weekend has been designated Potential Tropical Depression # 9. It’s likely to become a tropical storm before it reaches the south Texas coast Tuesday morning. There is a tropical storm warning in effect as far up the coast as Port O’Connor. Potential TD # 9 could bring up to 7 inches of rain to portions of Texas, so flash flooding is possible.
Tropical Storm Franklin is slowly advancing on Hispaniola and is forecast to come ashore late Tuesday night. Franklin will bring very heavy rains to Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico. Flooding and mudslides are possible. Franklin is then forecast to turn gradually to the northeast and eventually become a hurricane in open waters. For now, there’s a tropical storm watch for the Turks and Caicos, which could feel the effects of Franklin on Wednesday.
Elsewhere, Tropical Depression # 6 briefly became Tropical Storm Gert, but it was unravelling (as expected) Monday afternoon. What was Tropical Storm Emily is now a remnant low, well east of the Lesser Antilles. And the wave in the eastern Atlantic has a high chance of becoming a depression this week. So far, it’s no threat to land.
