Tuesday features a morning mix of sun and clouds, with a few showers and storms in the East Coast metro area, followed by periods of showers and storms in the afternoon and evening. The Gulf coast starts with a sunny morning, but showers and storms will develop in the afternoon and last into the evening. Look for clouds and showers in the Keys. Expect an elevated risk of dangerous rip currents, starting on Tuesday, as we feel the effects of Erin well to our east. Highs on Tuesday will be mostly in the low-90s, with a few suburban locations reaching the mid-90s — but it will feel about 10 degrees hotter, so stay hydrated and out of the sun.
Wednesday will bring mostly sunny skies and mainly afternoon and evening showers and storms to the mainland. The Keys will see lots of clouds and periods of showers. Wednesday’s highs will be mostly in the mid-90s in the East Coast metro area and in the low 90s along the Gulf Coast and the Keys.
Thursday will feature a mix of sun, showers, and storms on the mainland, while the Keys will see more clouds than sun and some showers at times. Thursday’s highs will be mostly in the mid-90s along the East Coast and the low-90s along the Gulf Coast and the Keys.
Friday will see mostly sunny skies alternating with periods of showers and storms on the mainland. Look for a mix of sun, clouds, and a few showers in the Keys. Friday’s highs will be mostly in the low 90s, with some east coast metro locations reaching the mid 90s.
Saturday’s forecast calls for a late August mix of sun, clouds, showers, and storms. Highs on Saturday will be mostly in the low 90s.
Large and powerful Hurricane Erin is moving east of the Bahamas. On Monday evening, Erin was located about 805 miles south-southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina and 695 miles southwest of Bermuda. Maximum sustained winds were 130 miles per hour. Erin was moving northwest at 10 miles per hour at that time. There is now a tropical storm watch from Beaufort Inlet to Duck, North Carolina. This is in addition to the tropical storm warning for the Turks and Caicos Islands and the southeastern Bahamas and the tropical storm watch for the central Bahamas.The entire East Coast, including Florida, as well as the northwestern Bahamas and Bermuda, can expect dangerous rip currents and potentially deadly surf conditions from Erin much of this week. Authorities in the Outer Banks of North Carolina are calling for evacuations, in case the region is cut off from the mainland by storm surge.
Elsewhere in the tropics, we’re keeping a very close eye on the central Atlantic, where a low is expected to develop in a day or so and track west-northwestward near or over the Leeward Islands on Friday. This feature currently has a medium chance of becoming a depression — but it will be in an area favorable for development, so we’ll have to pay attention to this one.Finally, another wave has emerged off the African coast. This one has a low chance of becoming a depression before it reaches an area unfavorable to development in a few days.
