Tuesday will bring another round of typical August weather:  plenty of sun in the morning and showers and storms during the mid to late afternoon.  Tuesday’s highs will be in the low 90s.

Wednesday will continue the trend of good sun in the morning with showers and storms moving in during the mid to late afternoon.  Wednesday’s highs will be in the low 90s.

Thursday will feature lots of sun during the first part of the day and showers and storms, starting in the mid-afternoon.  Thursday’s highs will be in the low 90s.

Friday will see some sun but more showers and storms as tropical moisture begins to move into South Florida.  Highs on Friday will be in the low 90s again.

In the tropics, the wave we’ve been tracking that’s approaching the Lesser Antilles has a medium chance of becoming a depression during the next several days.  This system is expected to bring rain and gusty winds to the Lesser Antilles and affect Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands on Tuesday and be near or over Hispaniola on Wednesday.  Computer models indicate that this system, whether it develops or not, moves close to South Florida and brings us significant rainfall and periods of gusty winds by the weekend.  We’ll keep a close eye on it.

Elsewhere in the tropical Atlantic, the low about halfway between the Cape Verde Islands and the Lesser Antilles has a low chance of development as it moves westward.
