GORGEOUS WEEKEND LOCALLY; TROPICAL DISTURBANCE IN CARIBBEAN… It does not get much better for a weekend forecast around here! Mostly sunny skies are ahead for this afternoon, Saturday, and Sunday with pleasant temperatures. We peak in the upper-60s today ahead of highs in the 70s on both Saturday and Sunday. High school football games tonight across the region will be fantastic with game time temperatures in the upper-50s in most spots.
80% CHANCE OF TROPICAL STORM FORMING IN CARIBBEAN… The National Hurricane Center continues to indicate there is a growing chance of a new tropical storm forming in the southwestern Caribbean Sea over the next 5 days. NHC puts the odds of this happening at an 80% chance as of their 2AM Tropical Weather Outlook. From NHC: “Shower activity associated with a large area of disturbed weather over the Lesser Antilles and the eastern Caribbean Sea has become a little more concentrated this evening. Conditions are expected to be conducive for development of this disturbance during the next few days, and a tropical depression is likely to form by the time the system reaches the western Caribbean Sea early next week.”
SUNNY HALLOWEEN SATURDAY; PERFECT FOR EVENING EVENTS… Temperatures will peak in the mid-70s on both Saturday and Sunday. All of the trick-or-treating and evening Halloween events on Saturday will feature nice weather with temperatures in the 60s.
MILD DAYS, COOL NIGHTS NEXT WEEK… Some of our coolest temperatures of the fall season yet are expected to happen Monday morning and Tuesday morning with overnight lows expected to be in the low- to mid-40s. Highs will be in the mid-60s Monday ahead of 70s on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons. Sunshine is expected each day. Nice!
