Showers And Storms Return To Florida Friday; Tropics Are Quiet

Friday features mostly sunny skies with some passing showers and storms — starting in the mid-morning in the east coast metro area and in the afternoon along the Gulf coast.  A moderate risk of dangerous rip currents is in place at the Atlantic beaches.  Highs on Friday will be near 90 degrees along the Atlantic coast and in the low 90s elsewhere.

Saturday will bring lots of sun in the morning, but look for periods of showers and in the afternoon.  Saturday’s highs will be near 90 degrees right at the Atlantic and Gulf coasts and in the low 90s inland.

Sunday will feature mostly sunny skies with a stray storm in the morning.  Showers and storms will move in during the afternoon.  Sunday’s highs will be near 90 degrees in the east coast metro area and in the upper 80s along the Gulf coast.

Monday will see a mix of sun and clouds with periods of showers and storms, especially in the afternoon.  Monday’s highs will be near 90 degrees in the east coast metro area and in the upper 80s along the Gulf coast.

Tuesday’s forecast calls for good sun and some clouds alternating with periods of showers and storms.  Highs on Tuesday will be near 90 degrees in the east coast metro area and in the upper 80s along the Gulf coast.

In the tropics, the wave we’ve been watching is not expected to develop.  We can expect a few more quiet days.
