The Fourth of July features lots of hot sun and periods of showers and storms, especially in the afternoon.  All of South Florida is under a heat advisory until Thursday evening, since “feels like” temperatures will be well in excess of 100 degrees.

A moderate risk of dangerous rip currents remains at the Atlantic beaches until Thursday evening.  Conditions should be fine for evening fireworks displays in the eastern part of South Florida, but it could be a close call along the Gulf Coast as storms could linger there.  Highs on Thursday will be mostly in the low 90s in the East Coast metro area, mostly in the mid-90s along the Gulf Coast, and near 90 degrees in the Keys.

Friday will bring another summertime mix of sun, showers, and storms.  Look for some storms to linger into the evening on the mainland.  Friday’s highs will be mostly in the low 90s, with some inland locations topping out in the mid-90s.

Saturday will feature plenty of sun and periods of showers and storms, especially in the afternoon and early evening.  Saturday’s highs will be in the low 90s in the East Coast metro area and near 90 degrees along the Gulf Coast and in the Keys.

Faith Based Events

Sunday will be mostly sunny with plenty of showers and storms.  Sunday’s highs will be in the low 90s in the East Coast metro area and near 90 degrees along the Gulf Coast and in the Keys.

Monday’s forecast calls for another mix of sun, clouds, showers, and storms.  Highs on Monday will be in the low 90s on the mainland and near 90 degrees in the Keys.

In the tropics, Hurricane Beryl was on its way to the Cayman Islands Wednesday evening.  At 5 pm Wednesday, Beryl’s eyewall was brushing the southern coast of Jamaica, bringing hurricane-force winds to the entire island.  At that time, Beryl’s maximum sustained winds were 140 miles per hour, and the hurricane was moving west-northwest at 20 miles per hour.  The Cayman Islands can expect hurricane conditions through Thursday.  There’s also a hurricane warning for the Yucatan from Puerto Costa Maya to Cancun, which will feel the impacts of Beryl beginning on Thursday night.  A weakened Beryl is then expected to come ashore once again along the northeast coast of Mexico or the Texas coast Sunday night or Monday morning.
Elsewhere, the wave in the central Atlantic is expected to bring heavy rain and gusty winds to portions of the Windward Islands on Thursday, but this feature has a low chance of developing into a depression as it follows a track very similar to Beryl’s.
