Sunday features plenty of sun in the morning and developing clouds, showers, and storms in the afternoon. Highs on Sunday will be in the low 90s right at the coasts and the mid-90s elsewhere — but it will feel even hotter, so stay out of the sun and stay hydrated.

It’s really busy now in the tropics. We’ll start with the named systems, where there’s good news. Tropical Storm Josephine is losing steam north of the Leeward Islands. At 5 am on Sunday, Josephine was located near 20.3 North, 64.0 West, and was moving west-northwest at 15 miles per hour. Maximum sustained winds were 40 miles per hour, and Josephine is forecast to weaken more as it moves through an area of strong wind shear. Well to the north, Kyle has become extratropical in the open Atlantic. At 5 am Sunday, Kyle was about 545 miles southwest of Cape Race, Newfoundland. Maximum sustained winds were 40 miles per hour, and what’s left of Kyle will accelerate to the east before dissipating.
We’re keeping an eye on a couple of waves well to the south of Josephine and Kyle. The first wave is moving quickly to the west and will bring heavy rain and gusty winds to portions of the Lesser Antilles on Sunday night and Monday. This wave has a low chance of reaching depression strength until it reaches the cnetral to western Caribbean, but conditions will be more favorable for development at that time. Last but not least, a large wave has just emerged off the African coast. While this feature has a low chance of becoming a depression during the next several days, conditions will be more favorable after that. We’ll watch this one closely.
