Discussion
A meandering frontal system will keep it unsettled around here through the upcoming weekend with a shot at showers and thunderstorms on a daily basis and there is potential today for some heavy rainfall. A bigger story will be the drop in temperatures with highs today doing no better than the lower 80's and highs should be generally confined to the 80's over the next several days. Meanwhile, Hurricane “Isaias” is going to significantly impact the Bahamas and southern/eastern Florida over the next 24-48 hours and then its moisture field could ride up along the east coast during the early part of next week.
