South Florida will be stormy and sticky on Tuesday as tropical moisture from that developing system in the Caribbean flows into our area.
Look for periods of showers and storms with heavy downpours at times, strong breezes, a moderate risk of dangerous rip currents at the Atlantic beaches (that will last into Wednesday), and highs near 90 degrees.
Showers and storms will linger on Wednesday as highs approach the 90 degree mark.
We’ll see just the chance of a shower or stray storm on Thursday as drier air moves in, and Friday will see even lower rain chances and hazy skies. Highs both days will be in the low 90s but feel hotter.
Look for a few early showers and isolated afternoon storms on Saturday, as highs reach the sweltering low 90s.
In the tropics, the disturbance in the Caribbean is likely to become a depression or tropical storm over the next day or so. Rains and gusty winds from the system will affect Jamaica on Tuesday, and the system should reach Belize or the Yucatan on Thursday.
