Discussion
High pressure well to our north will keep control of the weather around here for the next several days as it creates a persistent onshore flow of air. This type of flow of air will bring an increasing amount of moisture to the region as we go through the week and this will raise our chances of showers and thunderstorms. On the tropical scene, Hurricane Eta has come ashore in Nicaragua as a major hurricane and it will likely push back out over the Caribbean Sea by later in the weekend. After that, Eta is likely to become a threat to Cuba and perhaps even to southern Florida by the latter part of the weekend or early part of next week.
