Morning Showers, Some Sun, More Showers; Watching Atlantic Wave

morning

showersSouth Florida will see some showers on Saturday, but mostly in the morning hours. Saturday features passing showers and maybe a storm as the day begins. Then we’ll see sun and clouds, with a few afternoon showers and storms developing inland on the sea breeze. But any showers and storms will be slow-moving, so downpours and localized flooding are possible. Highs on Saturday will be in the low 90s.

Sunday will bring a few early showers, a mix of sun and clouds, and an afternoon storm in spots. Sunday’s highs will be in the low 90s.

More moisture moves in on Monday, so look for passing showers and storms. Monday’s highs will be in the low 90s.

Showers and storms will linger on Tuesday, but some sun will be around. Tuesday’s highs will be in the low 90s.

Wednesday’s forecast includes a few early showers, a mix of sun and clouds, and an afternoon storm in spots. Highs on Wednesday will be in the low 90s.

showersIn the tropical Atlantic, that wave we’ve been watching for so long is now a couple of hundred miles east of the Turks and Caicos Islands. It has a medium chance of developing during the next few days as it moves well to our east.
