Tuesday features sun and a few showers in the morning in the East Coast metro area, followed by some afternoon storms. The Gulf Coast will be sunny in the morning, but some storms will develop in the afternoon. The Keys will be mostly sunny with a few showers in spots. Expect an elevated risk of dangerous rip currents at the Atlantic beaches, especially along the Palm Beach County coast. Highs on Tuesday will be mostly in the low 90s — but it will feel about 10 degrees hotter, so stay hydrated and out of the sun.
Wednesday will bring mostly sunny skies, with mainly afternoon and early evening showers and storms. The highs will be in the low 90s on the mainland and near 90 degrees in the Keys.
Thursday will feature a mix of sun and storms on the mainland, with those storms lingering into the evening. Look for clouds and showers in the Keys. Thursday’s highs will be mostly in the upper 80s in the East Coast metro area and the Keys and in the low 90s along the Gulf Coast.
Friday will see more clouds than sun, periods of showers, and some storms in spots. The highs will be mostly in the upper 80s in the East Coast metro area and the Keys and near 90 degrees along the Gulf Coast.
Saturday’s forecast will depend on the tropics, but for now, we’ll say it will be on the cloudy and breezy side with plenty of showers and storms. Highs on Saturday will be in the upper 80s.
In the tropics, we continue to watch the western Caribbean, where an area of low pressure is forming. This feature is expected to enter the Gulf of Mexico in a couple of days, and it currently has a medium chance of becoming a depression. Computer models are not in agreement after that point — but we’ll keep a close eye on the situation and be ready to take action if necessary.
Elsewhere, Isaac has become post-tropical and continues to weaken in the north Atlantic. Joyce is on the verge of becoming a remnant low in the central Atlantic. What was Tropical Depression # 12 is now Tropical Storm Kirk — and is forecast to become a major hurricane, even while it stays in the open waters of the Atlantic. Finally, the wave in the eastern Atlantic has a high chance of becoming a depression in the next few days slowly westward.
