Friday will bring periods of showers and a few storms in spots throughout the day and in the evening.  Heavy rain is possible at times, which will lead to additional localized flooding.  The east coast metro area will also see some sun at times, while the Gulf coast will be cloudy.  Friday’s highs will be mostly in the upper 80s.

Saturday will feature mostly sunny skies and passing storms in the morning.  Showers will move in during the afternoon and last through the evening.  Saturday’s highs will be in the low 90s.

Faith Based Events

Sunday will see a mix of sun and clouds.  Look for passing storms in the morning and lots of showers in the afternoon.  Sunday’s highs will be in the low 90s.

Monday’s forecast calls for good sun with periods of showers and storms.  Highs on Monday will be in the low 90s.

In the tropics, Tropical Depression # 7 is now Tropical Storm Fiona.  At 5 am, Fiona was located near 16.6 North, 53.0 West, about 580 miles east of the Leeward Islands, where there are now tropical storm watches.  Maximum sustained winds were 50 miles per hour, and Fiona was moving west at 13 miles per hour.  Fiona is forecast to move through the Leeward Islands on Friday.  Watches and warnings are likely for the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico later today.  Computer models are not yet in agreement on Fiona’s track after the weekend.  We’ll need to keep a close eye on Fiona during the coming days.
