Much of South Florida was off to a wet start on Friday, but hot sun and spotty afternoon storms will follow. After early morning showers along the east coast and in the Keys, look for more sunshine and afternoon storms in spots, with most of the storms well inland and in the Naples area. Friday’s highs will be in the low 90s.
Saturday begins with a few early east coast showers on a building ocean breeze, and that keeps a moderate risk of dangerous rip currents at the Atlantic beaches through the weekend. Saturday afternoon storms will be mostly centered on the interior and Gulf coast, but a few could pop up in the western suburbs of Miami-Dade and Broward.
Sunday’s forecast is similar, with a few early showers, breezy conditions (and a moderate risk of rip currents) along the east coast, scattered inland and Gulf coast afternoon storms, and highs in the low 90s.
Monday will see breezy conditions again along the east coast, some early showers in spots, and sun and clouds. Afternoon storms will develop, especially well inland and in the Naples area, but don’t count out a stray storm in the western parts of the Miami-Dade and Broward metro areas. Highs will be in the low 90s on Monday.
The tropics are quiet right now, but don’t think the Atlantic hurricane season is over. NOAA has updated its seasonal forecast, and the key point in the update is the increasing likelihood of a busy second half of the 2016 Atlantic hurricane season. The main reason is a switch to La Nina conditions in the Pacific, which creates more favorable conditions for storms in the Atlantic basin.
We need to be prepared for whatever might come our way between now and November.
