Thursday features plenty of sun, some clouds at times, and a few afternoon storms in spots. Highs on Thursday will be in the low 90s on the mainland and near 90 degrees in the Keys. But it will feel at least 10 degrees hotter, so stay hydrated and out of the sun.
Friday will bring mostly sunny skies with periods of showers and storms on the mainland. The Keys will be cloudy with showers at times. Look for an increasing risk of dangerous rip currents at the Atlantic beaches on Friday and into the weekend. Friday’s highs will be in the upper 80s in the East Coast metro area and the Keys and the low 90s along the Gulf Coast.
Saturday will feature sun, clouds, and showers in the morning with storms developing in the afternoon. Look for a gusty breeze. Saturday’s highs will be in the upper 80s.
Sunday will see a mix of sun and clouds, a gusty breeze, and periods of showers and storms. Sunday’s highs will be mostly in the upper 80s.
Monday’s forecast calls for some sun, more clouds, and plenty of showers and storms. Highs on Monday will be mostly in the mid-80s.
In the tropics, we continue to watch the western Caribbean and southern Gulf of Mexico, where a broad area of low pressure could become a depression this weekend. We’ll keep a close eye on this since computer models are still not in agreement on the future track and strength of this feature. Moisture from this broad area will affect South Florida this weekend and early next week.
Elsewhere, Hurricane Kirk is intensifying in the central Atlantic. Kirk is forecast to become a major hurricane in a day or so, but it will remain in the open ocean. And the low in the eastern Atlantic became Tropical Depression # 13 at midday on Wednesday. TD # 13 is expected to become a tropical storm soon (the next name on the list is Leslie). While TD # 13 is currently moving westward slowly, computer models indicate a turn to the north, keeping it in the open Atlantic.
