Improvement This Weekend

A cold front followed by Canadian high pressure will bring drier air into the area this weekend. There still could be a couple showers in the area Saturday, but coverage will be less and any activity will be less intense than previous days. High temperatures will still reach the upper 80s with a muggy feel outside. Then Sunday will feel refreshingly cooler as breezes kick up out of the east-northeast. Most areas should be dry Sunday, with a mix of sun and clouds and highs dropping into the low to mid 80s.

Tropics:

We're not too concerned about anything in the tropics right now. Weak Tropical Storm Ingrid remains several hundred miles east of the Lesser Antilles as it moves slowly to the west-northwest. Upper level winds are currently unfavorable for strengthening, and are forecast to become more unfavorable the next couple days, possibly weakening or dissipating the system entirely.
