Hazy Skies, Hot Sun, Stray Showers

Hazy Skies,
South Florida will see some showers as Saharan dust moves in on Wednesday as a new subtropical depression has formed far away in the Atlantic.  Here at home, Wednesday starts with a few coastal showers.  Then the eastern metro area will see hazy skies, hot sun, and the chance of a stray shower or storm.  Western locations will see a few lingering showers and storms until the dust settles in.  Gulf beaches are still dealing with red tide on Wednesday.  Highs on Wednesday will be in the low 90s.
Thursday will bring plenty of sun, hazy skies, and maybe a storm (especially inland and along the Gulf coast).  Thursday’s highs will be in the low 90s.
The dust continues to dominate our weather on Friday, so look for sun and a bit of a haze.  Friday’s highs will be in the low 90s.
A few more showers and storms are likely on Saturday.  Saturday’s highs will be in the low 90s.
Look for sun, clouds, and some afternoon showers and storms on Sunday.  Highs on Sunday will be in the low 90s.
The low we’ve been watching in the middle of the Atlantic is now Subtropical Depression # 5.  At 5 am Wednesday, it was located near 37.6 North, 45.6 West, and it was moving north at 5 miles per hour.  Maximum sustained winds were 35 miles per hour.  Some strengthening is possible, but Subtropical Depression # 5 is no threat to the U.S.
