Faith Based Events

Friday will be cloudy with periods of showers and storms.  Heavy rain is possible, along with localized flooding.  Look for breezy conditions along the Gulf coast and a stormy evening throughout South Florida.  Friday’s highs will be in the mid-80s.

The forecast for Saturday will depend on the tropics.  For now, we’ll say that Saturday will be stormy and breezy.  Heavy rain and localized flooding will be possible.  Highs on Saturday will be in the mid-80s.

We’re watching the tropics, a low is expected to form near the Yucatan in the next few days.  This low will include moisture from Tropical Storm Agatha, which is currently centered over southern Mexico.  Computer models indicate this low is likely to move into the southwestern Gulf of Mexico and could become the first tropical depression of the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season.  The National Hurricane Center currently gives this soon-to-form system a medium chance of development.

For South Florida, a lot will depend on where this potential tropical system actually forms and how much time it spends over warm waters before it approaches our vicinity.  Whatever it does, this system is likely to bring heavy rain and gusty winds to South Florida late in the week.  It’s a reminder that hurricane season is here.
