A Chance to Dry Out

Much drier air is pushing in from the north and will make for some pleasant days through the middle of the week. Temperatures will reach near or just above 90, but the humidity will be much lower than it has been recently. Expect plenty of sunshine through at least Thursday.

Low pressure that helped bring the heavy rains to our area this weekend is pushing east in the Atlantic, roughly along 30 degrees latitude. There is a good chance for development into a tropical system in the next couple days as it continues to move east to a point a few hundred miles to our east by Wednesday night. Then most computer models develop a blocking high pressure to prevent the system from totally going out to sea for a while.

Elsewhere in the tropics:

Powerful Hurricane Felix is bearing down on Honduras. It will continue to track mainly west and weaken over land, with all effects staying well south of the United States.
