Monday features plenty of hot sun in the morning and periods of showers and storms in the afternoon and early evening on the mainland. Look for lots of sun in the Keys. Highs on Monday will be mostly in the low 90s, with a few suburban locations reaching the mid 90s — but it will feel even hotter, so stay hydrated and out of the sun.
Tuesday will bring mostly sunny skies and periods of showers and storms in the East Coast metro area, while the Gulf Coast will see a sunny morning and some afternoon and evening storms. The Keys will be mostly sunny with maybe a shower in spots. Tuesday’s highs will be mostly in the low-90s, with a few locations topping out in the mid-90s.
Wednesday will feature a mix of sun, clouds, and periods of showers and storms on the mainland. Look for plenty of clouds and some showers in the Keys. Wednesday’s highs will be mostly in the low-90s, but a few suburban locations will reach the mid-90s again.
Thursday will be another August day of hot sun and periods of showers and storms on the mainland. Look for a mix of sun and clouds in the Keys. Thursday’s highs will be mostly in the mid-90s in the East Coast metro area and the low 90s along the Gulf Coast and the Keys.
Friday’s forecast calls for a mix of sun, clouds, showers, and some storms on the mainland, while the Keys will be cloudy with showers. Highs on Friday will be mostly in the low-90s.
Hurricane Erin brought gusty winds and heavy rain to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands on Sunday as the storm is growing larger. On Sunday evening, Erin was about 310 miles northwest of San Juan, Puerto Rico and 155 miles east-northeast of Grand Turk Island. Maximum sustained winds were 125 miles per hour at that time, but Erin is forecast to reintensify to a category 4 hurricane. At that time, Erin was moving west-northwest at 13 miles per hour.
A tropical storm warning is in effect for the Turks and Caicos Islands and the southeastern Bahamas. Since Erin’s wind field is expanding, additional watches and warnings are possible later on Monday. We’ll continue to watch Erin for that anticipated turn to the northwest, but even if Erin’s core stays well away from land, the Bahamas and the U.S. and Canadian Atlantic coasts can expect dangerous rip currents and rough surf conditions for much of the coming workweek.
Elsewhere in the tropics, a low is forecast to form in the central Atlantic in a few days and track west-northwest, potentially taking it through the Lesser Antilles. This feature has a medium chance of developing during the next several days. We’ll keep a close eye on it.
