South Florida is watching the skies for passing storms and showers on Monday and watching the tropics for a disturbance that will make the next couple of days unsettled. On Monday, we’ll see passing showers and storms as tropical moisture returns. Much of the storm activity will be concentrated in the interior and on the Gulf coast. We’ll see some sun along with the clouds, and highs will reach the upper 80s. The risk of dangerous rip currents remains at moderate levels at the Atlantic beaches on Monday into Tuesday.
That disturbance will be over us on Tuesday, bringing more showers and storms, and highs will again be in the upper 80s.
The disturbance could be just to our northwest on Wednesday, so another day of passing showers and storms is on tap for all of South Florida. Wednesday’s highs will be near 90 degrees.
We’ll see some early showers along the east coast on Thursday, highs near 90 degrees around the region, and some afternoon storm, especially in the western metro areas of Miami-Dade and Broward, in the interior, and in the Naples and Marco Island areas.
Friday will bring more typical September weather — a few afternoon storms and highs around the 90 degree mark.
In the tropics, we’re watching that area of disturbed weather in the central Bahamas that’s moving our way. The National Hurricane Center gives it a low chance of developing as it moves over Florida and into the Gulf of Mexico over the next 5 days.
Elsewhere, the wave that’s a few hundred miles east of the Lesser Antilles has a high chance of developing into a depression over the next day or so. It is forecast to turn to the northwest, possibly taking a track similar to Gaston’s — remaining in the central Atlantic.
