Discussion
High pressure over the western Atlantic will continue to produce windy conditions in the region and provide enough moisture for the chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms. Meanwhile, low pressure will develop over the Bahamas this weekend and it will slowly intensify as it makes a move to the northeast and out over the warm waters of the southwestern Atlantic. The eastern part of Florida will be impacted by this system whether or not it ends up getting characterized as the first official “tropical” system of the Atlantic Basin tropical season. Showers are likely today and tonight; especially, along coastal sections, and there can be embedded thunderstorms as well. Some of the rain can become heavy at times as this system intensifies off the coast with minor flooding possible. Expect rough surf through the weekend as a result of this developing system just off the east coast of Florida.
