Sun and Storms Here, Watching the Tropics

Friday features mostly sunny skies with periods of showers and storms, especially in the afternoon and early evening.  Look for plenty of clouds and some showers in the Keys.  Minor flooding is likely at high tides in low-lying area coastal areas and the Keys on Friday.  Expect an elevated risk of dangerous rip currents along the Palm Beach County coast.  Highs on Friday will be mostly in the upper 80s in the East Coast area and the Keys and near 90 degrees along the Gulf Coast.

Saturday will bring a mix of sun and storms to the east coast metro area, while the Gulf coast will see a sunny morning and some afternoon and evening storms.  Saturday’s highs will be near 90 degrees in the east coast metro area and the Keys and in the low 90s along the Gulf coast.

Sunday will feature sun, clouds and some afternoon storms in the east coast metro area.  The Gulf Coast will start the day with good sun, but a few storms will develop in the afternoon and early evening.  Look for clouds and showers in the Keys.  Sunday’s highs will be near 90 degrees in the East Coast metro area and the Keys and in the low 90s along the Gulf Coast.

Monday will see good sun alternating with periods of showers and storms in the east coast metro area.  The Gulf Coast will be sunny with some afternoon storms.  Clouds and showers will linger in the Keys.  Monday’s highs will be near 90 degrees in the East Coast metro area and the Keys and in the low 90s along the Gulf Coast.

Faith Based Events

Tuesday’s forecast calls for good sun with periods of showers and storms on the mainland, while the Keys will be on the cloudy side with periods of showers.  Highs on Tuesday 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.

In the tropics, we’re keeping a very close eye on the western Caribbean, where a low is expected to form late in the weekend and move slowly into the Gulf of Mexico.  Right now, the National Hurricane Center gives this feature a medium chance of becoming a depression in the next several days.  The western Caribbean is one region we watch closely at this time of the hurricane season, and sea surface temperatures in the Gulf are very warm now — conducive to rapid tropical development.  We’ll get a better idea of where this feature will go once the low develops, which will give the computer models more complete data to work with.  In the meantime, it’s a good idea to review your hurricane plan and check your supplies — just in case.

Elsewhere, the remnants of Gordon have a low chance of redeveloping in the central Atlantic.  And an area of low pressure well to the southeast of Bermuda has a low chance of becoming a depression as it wanders in the open ocean during the next several days.
