Faith Based Events

Saturday will be mostly cloudy in the east coast metro area and partly cloudy along the Gulf coast.  Windy conditions and increasing showers and storms are in the forecast.  Localized flooding is possible with periods of very heavy rain this weekend.  Saturday’s highs will be in the mid-80s.

Sunday’s forecast depends on the track and strength of Tropical Storm Eta or its remnants.  At the least, expect widespread showers and storms with heavy rain and the potential for flooding.  HIghs on Sunday will be mostly in the low 80s.

In the tropics, Tropical Storm Eta continues to dump flooding rain on portions of Central America.  At 5 am, Eta was located near 13.8 North, 84.7 West, and is moving west at 8 miles per hour.  Maximum sustained winds were 70 miles per hour.  Eta is forecast to weaken to a depression, reenter the Caribbean on Friday, and then become a tropical storm as it lifts generally northeastward this weekend.

South Florida is in Eta’s 4-to-5 day forecast “cone.”.  The long-range forecast remains uncertain, but we need to be prepared for flooding rains and possibly tropical storm conditions late this weekend and on Monday.
