September Sun, Showers, and Storms; Watching The Tropics

https://www.vecteezy.com/photo/51540598-storm-clouds-and-hole-with-blue-sky

Wednesday features mostly sunny skies and a few morning showers and storms on the mainland, and additional showers and storms will develop in the afternoon and linger into the evening.  The Keys will see clouds, showers, and storms.  An elevated risk of dangerous rip currents remains along the Palm Beach County coast.  Highs on Wednesday will be near 90 degrees along the Atlantic coast and the Keys, and in the low 90s elsewhere in South Florida — but it will feel at least 10 degrees hotter, so stay hydrated and out of the sun.

Thursday will bring a mix of sun and clouds with mainly afternoon showers and storms to the East Coast metro area.  The Gulf Coast will be sunny in the morning, but showers and storms will develop in the afternoon and early evening.  The Keys will be mostly sunny with maybe a stray shower.  Thursday’s highs will be near 90 degrees.

Friday will feature mostly sunny skies with periods of showers and storms on the mainland, while the Keys will see a mix of sun and clouds.  Friday’s highs will be mostly in the low 90s in the East Coast metro area and near 90 degrees along the Gulf Coast and in the Keys.

Saturday will see a mix of sun and clouds with periods of showers and storms in the midafternoon and early evening on the mainland.  Look for mostly sunny skies in the Keys.  Saturday’s highs will be mostly in the low 90s in the East Coast metro area and near 90 degrees along the Gulf Coast and in the Keys.

Faith Based Events

Sunday’s forecast calls for an early autumn mix of sun, clouds, showers, and afternoon storms.  Highs on Sunday will be near 90 degrees.

In the tropics, Hurricane Gabrielle remains a powerful hurricane as it moves away from Bermuda.  Gabrielle is forecast to accelerate eastward and could pose a threat to the Azores late in the week.

In the tropics, Hurricane Gabrielle remains a powerful hurricane as it accelerates in the open Atlantic. Gabrielle had maximum sustained winds of 130 miles per hour and was moving east-northeast at 21 miles per hour late Tuesday afternoon.  There’s a hurricane watch for the Azores, which will feel impacts from Gabrielle Thursday evening into Friday.
Elsewhere, we’re watching two waves in the central Atlantic.  The first has a high chance of becoming a depression and is forecast to track well east of the Bahamas.  We’ll keep a much closer eye on the second wave, which has a medium chance of developing during the next few days — but it’s already bringing heavy rain and gusty winds to portions of the Leeward Islands.  This wave is forecast to move near or over the Bahamas late this week.  The question is how strong it will be at that time.
