Friday’s forecast is a bit tricky because we’ll be watching the area of disturbed weather associated with the front that has just passed South Florida. For now, we’ll say that Friday will be mostly cloudy with widespread showers and a few storms in the afternoon. Friday’s highs will be in the upper 80s.
Saturday’s forecast depends on the progress and development of that area of disturbed weather. For now, our forecast calls for a mix of sun and clouds alternating with showers and storms. Highs on Saturday will be in the upper 80s.
We’re keeping a close eye on the area of showers and storms that led to Monday’s heavy rainfall. This area of disturbed weather will push southward into Cuba and then will move slowly northward. It will likely be over the Florida Keys by late Thursday or Friday. The National Hurricane Center gives this feature a low chance of developing into a depression, but anything in our neighborhood is something we need to watch closely.
