Friday features lots of hot sun, a few clouds at times, and a few afternoon showers and storms on the mainland. The Keys will see more clouds than sun and some showers. Highs on Friday will be mostly in the low 90s, with a few suburban locations reaching the mid 90s — but it will feel about 10 degrees hotter everywhere, so stay hydrated and out of the sun.
Saturday will bring mostly sunny skies and some afternoon storms in the east coast metro area, while the Gulf coast will see a sunny morning followed by afternoon storms. The Keys will see plenty of sun, a few clouds, and a stray shower in spots. Saturday’s highs will be in the low 90s.
Sunday will feature hot sun and a few showers and storms in the morning and more showers and storms in the afternoon on the mainland. The Keys will be mostly cloudy with periods of showers. Sunday’s highs will be in the low 90s.
Monday will see a mix of sun, clouds, and mainly afternoon showers and storms on the mainland. Look for more clouds than sun and periods of showers in the Keys. Monday’s highs will be mostly in the low 90s, with a few suburban locations topping out in the mid 90s.
Tuesday’s forecast will depend on just how far east Erin is from the Bahamas — but for now we’ll say look for plenty of clouds on a gusty breeze and periods of showers and storms in South Florida. Highs on Tuesday will be mostly in the low 90s.

In the tropics, we continue to watch Erin as it moves into an area that’s favorable for rapid development. A tropical storm watch is now in effect for St. Martin and St. Barthelemy, Saba and St. Eustatius, and Sint Maarten in the northern Leeward Islands. Erin is forecast to become a hurricane on Friday.
Erin was located about 790 miles east of the northern Leeward Islands and moving west at 17 miles per hour late Thursday afternoon. Maximum sustained winds were 60 miles per hour at that time.
Erin is likely to bring heavy rain, high surf, and dangerous rip currents to the Virgin Islands and northern Puerto Rico this weekend as it moves northeast of the area. After that, we’ll be watching for Erin to turn to the northwest, but even if it moves well east of the US coast, we can expect heavy surf and rip currents all along the Atlantic coast, including Florida. We’ll continue to keep a close eye on Erin this weekend.
Elsewhere, the area of low pressure in the Bay of Campeche has a medium chance of developing before reaching the coast of northern Mexico and southern Texas late on Friday. Whether or not it becomes a depression, it will bring heavy rain to the region.
