It’s all about the July heat in South Florida on Saturday, but we’re also watching the tropics, which has suddenly become busy. Here at home, Saturday features hot sun, building clouds, and some showers and isolated storms forming along the sea breezes. Look for the activity to begin around midday in the east coast metro areas and shift westward during the afternoon. Highs on Saturday will be in the low 90s.
Sunday will bring sun, clouds, and a few showers and storms, with greatest coverage in the interior and along the Gulf coast. Sunday’s highs will be in the low 90s.
Monday will be another day of sun, clouds, and a few showers and storms. Monday’s highs will be in the low 90s.
More of us will see afternoon showers and storms on Tuesday as we resume our rainy season pattern. Tuesday’s highs will be in the sticky low 90s.
Wednesday will be another summer weather day, with sun, building clouds, and afternoon showers and storms. Highs on Wednesday will be in the low 90s again.
In the tropics, Hurricane Beryl was not as well organized early Saturday as it had been a day before. At 5 am Saturday, Beryl was located near 11.1 North, 49.8 West, about 830 miles from the Lesser Antilles. It was moving west-northwest at 14 miles per hour and had maximum sustained winds of 75 miles per hour. Beryl is now forecast to be a strong tropical storm or minimal hurricane as it moves through portions of the Lesser Antilles late Sunday and Monday. Beryl is forecast to dissipate as it interacts with Hispaniola. We’ll keep a close eye on it, especially with the possibility of dangerous mudslides and flooding rain.
Elsewhere in the Atlantic, Tropical Depression # 3 is moving slowly off the North Carolina coast. At 5 am Saturday, TD # 3 was located near 33.2 North, 74.6 West, about 145 miles south-southeast of Cape Hatteras. It had maximum sustained winds of 30 miles per hour and was moving north-northwest at 5 miles per hour. TD # 3 is expected to reach tropical storm strength and wander off the Carolina coast into Tuesday, bringing rough surf and gusty winds to the Outer Banks. The system is then forecast to move toward the northeast, possibly side-swiping Cape Cod and the Maritime Provinces of Canada late in the week.
