Here is your forecast for Tuesday, June 25th 2024.
A few morning showers will be possible along and near the coast, but as westerly winds pick up in the afternoon, gusting between 10-15 mph, the best chance for showers and storms will be inland, east of I-75. So if you have beach plans, the later in the day in the better.
Temperatures will head into the lower 90s with a heat index around 100°.
It looks like we'll see a shot of slightly drier air and fewer storms on Thursday with rain chances dropping to 30%. But that lower probability won't last.
WEEKEND OUTLOOK: Ample sunshine is forecast each morning. Easterly winds return this weekend, which will keep afternoon showers and storms "likely". So, if you have outdoor plans or want to visit the beach, I advise doing so in the morning.
TROPICAL UPDATE
1. Western Caribbean/Southwestern Gulf of Mexico:
A tropical wave located over the southeastern Caribbean Sea is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms as it moves quickly westward at around 25 mph. Environmental conditions could become more conducive for some gradual development late this week over the western Caribbean Sea or over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico during the weekend.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.
2. Eastern Tropical Atlantic:
A tropical wave centered a couple of hundred miles south of the Cabo Verde Islands is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Some slow development of this system is possible this weekend and into early next week while it moves generally westward across the central and western tropical Atlantic at 15 to 20 mph.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.
Saharan Dust will keep tropical development to a minimum this week.
