Hot Sun and Afternoon Storms Here, Watching the Tropics

Tuesday features hot sun, some clouds, and mainly afternoon showers and storms on the mainland.  The Keys will be mostly sunny with a few showers in spots.  Expect an elevated risk of dangerous rip currents along the Palm Beach County coast.  Highs on Tuesday will be mostly in the low 90s — but it will feel at least 10 degrees hotter, so stay hydrated and out of the sun.

Wednesday will bring a mix of hot sun, clouds, and periods of showers and storms to the mainland, while the Keys will see plenty of sun and a few clouds.  Wednesday’s highs will be in the low 90s.

Thursday will feature hot sun alternating with showers and storms on the mainland.  Look for clouds and showers in the Keys.  Thursday’s highs will be in the low 90s on the mainland and near 90 degrees in the Keys.

Friday will see lots of sun and some afternoon showers and storms on the mainland.  The Keys will see a mix of sun and clouds.  Friday’s highs will be in the low 90s.

Faith Based Events

Saturday’s forecast calls for hot sun, periods of showers, and a few storms.  Highs on Saturday will be in the low 90s.

In the tropics, we’re watching Tropical Storm Erin, which formed west of the Cabo Verde Islands on Monday.  Erin is currently moving west and is expected to strengthen — possibly to major hurricane status by Saturday morning.  It’s early to tell Erin’s exact track, but we’ll keep a close eye on it.

Elsewhere in the tropical Atlantic, the weak low in the central Atlantic is moving northward into colder waters and has virtually no chance of developing.  A non-tropical low well east of New England is moving over the Gulf Stream and has a low chance of developing into a subtropical or tropical depression during the next day or so.  Finally, a weak trough in the northern Gulf is not expected to develop because it’s too close to land — but it is likely to bring heavy rain and flash flooding from portions of the Florida panhandle to southeastern Louisiana.
