Showers And Storms Move East To West; Very Active Tropics

west
Showers and storms will be around South Florida again on Thursday.  The day starts with an early mix of sun and showers along the east coast.  After the sea breezes get going in the afternoon, showers and storms will move westward, with greatest coverage along the Gulf coast and in the interior.  Highs on Thursday will be in the upper 80s right along the east coast and around 90 degrees elsewhere.
Friday will bring a bit more moisture and more widespread showers and storms.  Friday’s highs will be in the upper 80s.
Saturday will feature moisture streaming in from the south, so look for periods of showers and storms.  Saturday’s highs will be mostly in the low 90s.
More of the same is in the forecast for Sunday — some sun, clouds, and periods of showers and storms.  Sunday’s highs will be in the low 90s.
Monday will see winds shift to the east, blowing in morning showers to the east coast metro area.  Then showers and storms will move westward as the Atlantic sea breeze kicks in.  Highs on Monday will be near 90 degrees.
Tropical Depression Gordon is well inland and bringing heavy rains to portions of the Mississippi River Valley.
In the Atlantic, Hurricane Florence remains a major hurricane.  At 5 am Thursday, Florence was located near 24.1 North, 47.9 West, and was moving northwest at 12 miles per hour.  Maximum sustained winds were 115 miles per hour.  Florence could pose a threat to Bermuda by the middle of next week.
We’re also watching the area of disturbed weather in the eastern Atlantic.  It has a high chance of becoming a depression by the weekend.  And another wave is forecast to emerge from the African coast on Friday; that one has a medium chance of developing during the next 5 days.
