Discussion
High pressure has moved offshore and this will allow for a warmup that will bring high temperatures into the mid-to-upper 80's this afternoon and to the lower 80's on Thursday. A cool front will drift towards the region over the next day or so raising the chance for showers and thunderstorms; especially, during the PM hours It’ll turn cooler on Friday following the frontal passage and then the weekend turns warmer again with somewhat unsettled conditions. On the tropical scene, there are three different waves lined up in the Atlantic right now as we arrive at the climatological peak of the tropical season. The first system should head to the Gulf of Mexico by late this weekend and will have to be monitored, the second wave has little chance of survival, and the third wave may very well become an important issue for the SE US/Gulf of Mexico region in about ten days or so...stay tuned.
