A cold front will move through early Friday, but temperatures will stay quite warm for one more day. Highs will reach near 90 in many locations, though the humidity will be dropping throughout the day, so it should feel less muggy. Then winds will turn to the northeast for Saturday and Sunday. It will become breezy, especially along the coast. Highs will be in the low 80s over the weekend with low humidity and partly cloudy skies.
The combination of astronomical high tides due to the recent full moon and increasing breezes out of the northeast this weekend will lead to some heavy surf on the coastal waters and a good chance of shallow coastal flooding around the morning high tides Saturday (10:31 a.m.) and Sunday (11:26 a.m.).
Tropics:
Tropical Storm Karen is suffering through unfavorable winds aloft and is weakening some. It will most likely hold on as a tropical storm the next few days as it travels generally towards the northwest into the central Atlantic, staying northeast of the Lesser Antilles.
The system in the southwest Gulf of Mexico is now Tropical Storm Lorenzo. It will moves west into Mexico on Friday, possibly as a minimal hurricane.
