Most of South Florida’s students and teachers are starting the school year on Monday with sizzling heat. An early east coast shower is possible, but a mostly dry morning will give way to hot sun, highs in the low to mid 90s (but feeling more like 100 to 105 degrees), and some afternoon storms forming along the Atlantic and Gulf sea breezes. Those storms will move into the interior by late afternoon.
Tuesday will be another very hot day, with highs in the low to mid 90s (but feeling like the triple digits) and scattered afternoon storms, mostly in the western suburbs of Miami-Dade and Broward, the Naples area, and in the interior.
Rain chances increase on Wednesday, with more widespread afternoon showers and storms throughout South Florida. Highs will be in the low 90s on Wednesday.
Scattered afternoon storms will be back in most of South Florida on Thursday, and highs will be near 90 degrees.
Friday’s forecast calls for sun and clouds, a building breeze, highs near 90 degrees, and scattered afternoon storms throughout the region.
We’re watching the tropics, especially the wave that’s about 1000 miles east of the Lesser Antilles. The National Hurricane Center gives it a medium chance of developing into a depression by Friday, when it will be near the southeastern Bahamas or Hispaniola (and in an area more favorable for development). Some of the long range computer models indicate a track near the northwestern Bahamas or South Florida over the weekend, so we’ll watch this system very closely.
Elsewhere, Fiona is hanging on in the central Atlantic, with winds estimated at 40 miles per hour late Sunday afternoon as it moved west-northwest at 17 miles per hour. Fiona is expected to weaken and dissipate (finally), but the models are not in agreement as to how quickly that will happen.
And the wave that’s a few hundred miles off the African coast has a high chance of developing into a depression as it moves through the open Atlantic.
