More Storms And Showers For Florida Friday; Eyeing The Tropics

Saturday will bring a mix of sun, clouds, passing showers, and the chance of a storm in the morning.  Storms and some showers will move in during the mid to late afternoon, and showers will linger into the evening.  Look for an increasing risk of dangerous rip currents at the Atlantic beaches through the weekend.  Saturday’s highs will be in the low 90s in the east coast metro area and near 90 degrees along the Gulf coast.

Sunday will feature mostly sunny skies and the chance of a shower or storm in the morning.  Showers will be back in the afternoon, along with a storm or two in spots.  Sunday’s highs will be in the low 90s.

Faith Based Events

Monday will begin with mostly sunny skies, but those showers and storms will be back — starting in the mid afternoon in the east coast metro area and in the mid morning along the Gulf coast.  Monday’s highs will be in the low 90s in the east coast metro area and near 90 degrees along the Gulf coast.

Tuesday’s forecast calls for another day of this seemingly endless summer pattern — good sun and a few clouds alternating with periods of showers and storms.  Highs on Tuesday will be mostly in the low 90s.

In the tropics, Hurricane Earl has brushed Bermuda and is on the move in the central Atlantic.  At 5 am, Earl was located near 32.7 North, 62.4 West, about 140 miles east-northeast of Bermuda.  A tropical storm warning is still in effect there early Friday morning.  Earl’s maximum sustained winds were 100 miles per hour at 5 am, and the hurricane was moving north-northeast at 17 miles per hour.

Elsewhere, Danielle is now an post-tropical system in the middle of the Atlantic.  The wave entering the central Atlantic has a medium chance of developing until it reaches an area of hostile winds in a day or so.  And the wave in the far eastern Atlantic has a low chance of becoming a depression during the next five days.
