Autumn Sun and a Few Storms Here, Still Watching the Tropics

Sunday features a sunny morning with a few showers and storms developing in spots during the afternoon as autumn arrives in South Florida.  Minor flooding is possible at high tides along both coasts and the Keys on Sunday.  Expect a moderate risk of dangerous rip currents along the Palm Beach County coast.  Highs on Sunday will be in the low 90s.

Monday will bring mostly sunny skies and some mainly afternoon and early evening storms to the East Coast metro area.  The Gulf Coast will see lots of sun in the morning, but showers and storms will be back in the afternoon.  Look for plenty of clouds and periods of showers in the Keys.  Monday’s highs will be near 90 degrees in the East Coast metro area and the Keys and in the low 90s along the Gulf Coast.

Tuesday will feature a mix of sun and clouds with periods of showers and storms in the east coast metro area.  The Gulf Coast will be sunny during the morning, but showers and storms will develop in the afternoon and linger into the evening.  The Keys will be on the cloudy side with periods of showers.  Tuesday’s highs will be near 90 degrees in the East Coast metro area and the Keys and in the low 90s along the Gulf Coast.

Wednesday will be mostly sunny with periods of showers and storms on the mainland, while the Keys will see lots of clouds and some showers and storms.  Wednesday’s highs will be near 90 degrees.

Thursday’s forecast calls for clouds, showers, and storms on a brisk breeze as tropical moisture moves in.  Highs on Thursday will be in the upper 80s.

In the tropics, we continue to watch the western Caribbean for an area of low pressure that is forecast to form there or in the southern Gulf of Mexico in a couple of days.  The National Hurricane Center gives this feature a medium chance of becoming a depression — but conditions in the Gulf of Mexico are favorable for tropical development, so we’ll keep a close eye on it.  It’s way too early to determine if it will be a threat to South Florida.  But it is expected to bring heavy rain to portions of Central America and the Yucatan, as well as send some tropical moisture our way late in the workweek.

Elsewhere, the remnants of Gordon are not expected to redevelop.  The low that’s now about 700 miles east of Bermuda is encountering dry air and is also not expected to develop.  But a wave that is emerging from the African coast has a medium chance of becoming a depression this week as it moves to the west-northwest — so we’ll keep an eye on it..
