Sun and Showers Here, Watching the Tropics

Saturday features plenty of sun with a few clouds and showers on the mainland.  Look for a mix of sun and clouds in the Keys.  A high risk of dangerous rip currents remains at the Atlantic beaches through at least Monday morning.  And remember to set your clocks back one hour before going to sleep tonight as Standard Time begins in the wee hours of Sunday.  Highs on Saturday will be in the mid-80s.

Sunday will bring breezy conditions and mostly sunny skies to the East Coast metro area, while the Gulf Coast will be sunny with a gusty breeze. The Keys will see a mix of sun and clouds. Sunday’s highs will be in the mid-80s.

Monday will feature breezy conditions and a mix of sun and clouds in the East Coast metro area. The Gulf coast and the Keys will see lots of sun. Monday’s highs will be in the mid-80s.

Election Day will be breezy with a mix of sun, clouds, and showers in the east coast metro area.  The Gulf Coast will be sunny, but the Keys will be on the cloudy side with some showers.  Tuesday’s highs will be in the mid-80s in the East Coast metro area and the Keys and in the upper 80s along the Gulf Coast.

Faith Based Events

Wednesday’s forecast calls for breezy conditions and a mix of sun, clouds, and showers.  Highs on Wednesday will be in the mid-80s.

In the busy tropical Atlantic, we’re keeping a very close eye on the area of low pressure in the southwestern Caribbean.  The National Hurricane Center gives it a high chance of becoming a depression as it moves slowly northward or northwestward.  Computer models suggest this feature will enter the Gulf of Mexico later in the week, but its future track remains uncertain.

Elsewhere, the area of low pressure near Puerto Rico has a low chance of developing before being absorbed in a few days by the low that’s now in the southwestern Caribbean. But it will bring heavy rain to the Greater Antilles and the southeastern Bahamas.  Finally, the low that’s a few hundred miles west of the Azores already has strong winds, and the National Hurricane Center gives it a medium chance of becoming a subtropical or tropical storm.
