Thursday will bring a mix of sun and clouds to the Gulf coast and mostly cloudy skies elsewhere early in the day.  Then look for afternoon and evening showers and storms.  Thursday’s highs will be in the upper 80s.

Friday will be cloudy around South Florida, and we’ll see periods of showers and storms.  Friday’s highs will be in the upper 80s.

Saturday will feature a mix of sun and clouds with showers and storms in spots.  Saturday’s highs will be in the upper 80s.

The forecast for Fathers Day calls for plenty of sun along the Gulf coast and a mix of sun and clouds elsewhere.  All of South Florida will see periods of showers and storms.  Highs on Sunday will be near 90 degrees.

In the tropics, the area of low pressure we’ve been watching is now ashore in eastern North Carolina, where it’s bringing heavy rain to the region.  And a tropical wave a couple of hundred miles from the Windward Islands is not expected to develop, but it will bring heavy rain and gusty winds to Trinidad and Tobago, as well as portions of the Venezuelan coast on Wednesday and Thursday.
