By Donna Thomas, SouthFloridaReporter.com Meteorologist, Sept. 9, 2015 – South Florida will get some passing morning showers on Wednesday, with afternoon storms mostly remaining well inland. After a muggy start with those passing showers in spots, look for highs in the sticky low 90s and the chance of a stray storm in some of the western suburbs.
Thursday will also feature morning showers on an easterly breeze, highs in the low 90s, and the afternoon sea breeze keeping most storms well inland. More moisture moves in on Friday, so storm chances will increase while temperatures remain in the sticky low 90s. The weekend will bring more showers and storms, along with highs near 90 degrees.
In the tropics, Tropical Depression Grace continues to weaken as it moves westward through an area of strong wind shear. At 5 am Wednesday, Grace was located near 14.3 North, 47.2 West, and was moving west at 17 miles per hour. Maximum sustained winds were estimated at 30 miles per hour, but Grace will weaken into an open wave before reaching the Lesser Antilles. And Tropical Depression # 8 has formed from the disturbance south and east of Bermuda. At 5 am Wednesday, TD # 8 was located near 30.9 North, 61.4 West, with winds estimated at 35 miles per hour. TD # 8 has been stationary but will soon begin moving north, then northeastward, away from any land areas.
