Discussion
A large ridge of high pressure will interact with an approaching tropical wave to produce lots of moisture in the area along with a persistent E-NE flow of air that will continue through the upcoming weekend. This flow will keep high temperatures somewhat limited in coming days to the mid or upper 80’s across the region and will likely generate rip currents at the beaches. In addition, as the tropical disturbance slowly work its way across the Florida Straits and southern Florida over the next few days on its way to the Gulf of Mexico there will be an enhanced threat of showers and thunderstorms. Another tropical disturbance is located in the eastern Atlantic and it may become a threat for the Bahamas and Florida in about a week to ten days or so.
