Wednesday will see mostly sunny skies and periods of showers and storms in the east coast metro area.  The Gulf Coast will be sunny with passing showers.  Wednesday’s highs will be near 90 degrees in the East Coast metro area and the Keys and in the low 90s along the Gulf Coast.

The forecast for the Fourth of July calls for a mix of sun, showers, and storms.  Highs on Thursday will be in the low 90s on the mainland and the upper 80s in the Keys.


In the tropics, we’re watching what was Tropical Depression # 2, which quickly became Tropical Storm Beryl and is now a hurricane.  At 5 pm Saturday, Hurricane Beryl was located about 720 miles east-southeast of Barbados and was moving west at 22 miles per hour.  Maximum sustained winds were 75 miles per hour at that time — but Beryl is forecast to undergo rapid intensification and become a major hurricane before reaching the Windward Islands late on Sunday and into Monday.  There’s now a hurricane warning for Barbados.  Hurricane watches are in effect for St. Lucia, Grenada, and St. Vincent and the Grenadine Islands.  There are also tropical storm watches for Tobago, Dominica, and Martinique.  Beryl poses a threat to Jamaica, the Cayman Islands and portions of Hispaniola and Cuba by the middle of the week.

Elsewhere, the low over the Yucatan and the Bay of Campeche has a medium chance of developing before reaching the northeastern Mexican coast in the next day or so.  And the wave in the eastern Atlantic — that’s following in Beryl’s footsteps — has a high chance of becoming a depression in the next seven days.
