Tuesday features plenty of clouds and periods of showers and storms in the east coast metro area.  The Gulf coast will be mostly sunny with a few showers and storms in the morning, but more showers and storms will develop in the afternoon and evening.  Heavy rain is possible at times.  Look for clouds, showers, and storms in the Keys.  Highs on Tuesday will be near 90 degrees in the east coast metro area, in the low 90s along the Gulf coast, and in the upper 80s in the Keys.

Wednesday will bring a mix of sun and clouds with plenty of mainly afternoon and early evening showers and storms on the mainland.  The Keys will be mostly sunny with a shower in spots.  Wednesday’s highs will be in the low 90s on the mainland and the upper 80s in the Keys.

Thursday will feature a mostly sunny morning, followed by afternoon showers and storms in the east coast metro area.  The Gulf coast will see lots of sun in the morning, but showers and storms will be back in the afternoon.  Look for good sun and some clouds in the Keys.  Thursday’s highs will be in the low 90s on the mainland and the upper 80s in the Keys.

Friday will be mostly sunny with mainly afternoon showers and storms in the east coast metro area, while the Gulf coast will see a sunny morning, followed by periods of showers and storms in the afternoon.  The Keys will be mostly sunny.  Friday’s highs will be in the low 90s in the east coast metro area, near 90 degrees along the Gulf coast, and in the upper 80s in the Keys.

Faith Based Events

Saturday’s forecast calls for a late September mix of sun, clouds, showers, and storms.  Highs on Saturday will be in the low 90s in the east coast metro area, near 90 degrees along the Gulf coast, and in the upper 80s in the Keys.

In the tropics, Hurricane Gabrielle intensified to a major hurricane Monday morning as it approached Bermuda.  Early Monday evening, Gabrielle was about 180 miles east-southeast of Bermuda and was moving north-northeast at 12 miles per hour.  Maximum sustained winds were 140 miles per hour at that time.  Gabrielle is forecast to accelerate to the northeast and then east on Wednesday and could pose a threat to the Azores.
We’re watching a couple of waves in the central Atlantic.  The first now has a high chance of developing and appears to be following a track similar to Gabrielle’s.  The second wave is potentially more significant for us.  This second wave is moving rapidly westward to west-northwestward, bringing heavy rain and gusty winds to portions of the Lesser Antilles.  This wave is forecast to turn northwestward near Hispaniola — potentially tracking near or over the Bahamas this weekend or early next week.  The National Hurricane Center gives it a medium chance of developing during the next several days — but we’ll keep a very close eye on it.
