Friday will feature plenty of sun and a few clouds at times.  Friday’s highs will be in the mid-80s.

Saturday will be a sunny and pleasant start to the weekend.  Saturday’s highs will be in the mid-80s.

Sunday’s forecast calls for lots of sun and a few clouds at times.  Highs on Sunday will be in the mid-80s.

In the tropics, the low a few hundred miles north of Bermuda has virtually no chance of becoming a depression.  A trough of low pressure near Puerto Rico has a low chance of developing during the next five days as it moves northward.  And a low is expected to form in the eastern Caribbean in a few days.  While this feature has a low chance of developing during the next five days, we’ll keep an eye on it as it moves generally westward or west-northwestward.
