Wednesday features hot and hazy sun as some Saharan dust filters into South Florida. We’ll also see a few storms pop up, especially in western areas. Look for an elevated risk of dangerous rip currents along the Palm Beach County coast. Highs on Wednesday will be mostly in the low 90s, with a few inland locations reaching the mid-90s. But it will feel at least 10 degrees hotter everywhere, so stay hydrated and out of the sun.
Thursday will bring mostly sunny skies and a few storms to the East Coast metro area, while the Gulf Coast will be sunny in the morning with storms developing in the afternoon and early evening. Look for clouds and showers in the Keys. Thursday’s highs will be mostly in the low 90s on the mainland and near 90 degrees in the Keys.
Friday will feature a mix of sun, showers, and storms in the East Coast metro area. The Gulf Coast will begin the day with lots of sun, but storms will develop in the afternoon. The Keys will be on the cloudy side with periods of showers and storms. Friday’s highs will be mostly in the low 90s.
Saturday’s weather will depend on the tropics. For now, we’ll say to expect periods of showers and storms alternating with a mix of sun and clouds. Heavy rain is possible. Saturday’s highs will be in the low 90s.
Sunday’s forecast again depends on what’s happening in the tropics. Expect some sun, more clouds, and plenty of showers and storms. Heavy rain is possible. Highs on Sunday will be mostly in the low 90s in the East Coast metro area and near 90 degrees along the Gulf Coast and in the Keys.
That area of disturbed weather we’ve been watching is the main factor in South Florida’s weekend weather. The National Hurricane Center says a tropical depression is likely to form in a couple of days, once this feature reaches the Greater Antilles or the Bahamas. Computer models are not yet in agreement on the track or the strength of any potential system. A weaker system will likely track westward, bringing heavy rain and gusty winds to South Florida, while a stronger system is more likely to turn northwestward in response to a dip in the jet stream. In the case of a stronger system, just when that turn comes would make a big difference in whether it’s just a very rainy and blustery day here — or if we deal with the effects of a tropical storm. We’ll keep you posted, so pay attention and be ready to take appropriate action — just in case.
