Slight Chance of Showers

Skies will continue to be partly cloudy overnight and Wednesday. Light flow from off the ocean could cause a shower or two, but coverage will be limited. Highs Wednesday will reach the mid to upper 80s, cooler on the beaches. Thursday looks dry and warm across the area with highs mainly in the upper 80s. A cold front will cross the area Friday and Friday night. There will be enough moisture ahead of the front for a chance of a shower or thunderstorm, coverage does not look that great. Highs Friday should again reach the upper 80s. Then high pressure to the north will dominate our weather this weekend, with breezes picking up out of the northeast. It will be cooler under a mix of sun and clouds. While a coastal shower can't be ruled out, most moisture will get pushed to our south into Florida.

Tropics:

Tropical Storm Karen in the far eastern Atlantic is moving west-northwest. It is projected to turn more to the north later this week, and indications are this system should remain well out to sea.

Disturbed weather in the southwest Gulf of Mexico has formed into a tropical depression. The system will drift around slowly the next couple days before it should head west into Mexico. The system will likely strengthen some, at least into a tropical storm (Lorenzo) while it remains over water.
