Hot Weekend With A Chance Of Showers

Hot Weekend

It’s a hot weekend in South Florida as our rainy season weather pattern is in full blast.  Saturday features hot sun and some clouds, until the sea breezes develop in the afternoon — but the Gulf breeze will be the stronger and push storms and showers eastward.  Look for late afternoon storms in the east coast metro areas.  Highs on Saturday will be in the low 90s along the east coast and the upper 80s along the Gulf coast.

Sunday will bring close to record heat, along with hot sun, clouds, and some afternoon showers and storms.  Sunday’s highs will be in the low to mid 90s along the east coast and near 90 degrees along the Gulf coast.

Monday will be another east coast scorcher, with hot sun and some afternoon storms.  Monday’s highs will range from near 90 degrees along the Gulf coast to the low to mid 90s elsewhere.

Tuesday will feature a mix of sun and clouds, along with some afternoon showers and storms.  Tuesday’s highs will be near 90 degrees.

More moisture works its way in on Wednesday, so we’ll see more widespread showers.  Highs on Wednesday will be near 90 degrees.
