Still Some Clouds, Breezy

We'll see another day of some clouds in the area. There is a slight chance of a coastal shower overnight and into Thursday morning. A cold front will arrive late Thursday and clear out most of the clouds for Friday and the weekend.

Highs Thursday should reach the upper 70s, with lows dropping to the mid to upper 50s Thursday night. Friday will be cooler, with highs in the low 70s. Expect highs in the low 70s over the weekend with lows in the mid to upper 40s.

Tropics:

Tropical Storm Noel will move north from Cuba tonight and Thursday and then turn northeast and accelerate out to sea Friday and Saturday. The expected track will keep the storm center off the south Florida coast, but some rain and gusty winds can be expected there as the system passes by. The worst of the heavy rain and strong wind gusts will be felt east of the center, over the central and northwest Bahamas.

Clouds Return, Staying Breezy

Clouds are moving back into the area and will be with us for Wednesday. It looks like there will only be a slight chance of a shower Wednesday and Wednesday night, so conditions should be okay for the trick-or-treaters. Highs Wednesday will reach the low to mid 70s. It will continue to be breezy as we remain between high pressure to the northeast and low pressure well to the south.

Expect a mix of clouds and some sun Thursday, with a cold front arriving late Thursday to push out most of any remaining clouds. Highs Thursday should reach the mid 70s. Seasonably cooler air will arrive behind the front for Friday into the weekend; highs will be mainly in the low 70s.

Tropics:

Tropical Storm Noel is meandering west over Cuba. In the next couple days, the system will get picked up by upper-level winds developing ahead of the cold front, and get pushed northeast and out to sea. Before then, some heavy downpours and gusty winds will affect portions of Cuba, the Bahamas, and southeast Florida.

A Nice Fall Day

For today, there will be a lot of sun in the morning with some clouds by the afternoon. The high will be in the lower 70’s. The breezy conditions along the coast will continue today. For tonight, we’ll have patchy clouds with lows in the mid 50’s. On Halloween there will be some sun in the morning then becoming mostly cloudy in the afternoon. The high for Wednesday will be near 74. The trick or treat forecast will be mostly cloudy with a slight chance for a shower. The low will be near 60. A cold front will pass through on Thursday clearing things up for the weekend.

Tropics:

Tropical storm Noel will continue moving west today then turn northwest by tomorrow. Most of the computer models show Noel turning north and missing the United States. In our area we will continue to see gusty winds from a high to the north and Noel moving through the Bahamas. Noel will become a non-tropical low by the weekend.

Onshore Breezes to Continue

Gusty breezes will continue out of the east-northeast through at least Thursday. Temperatures will top out near 70 on Tuesday with some sun, but clouds likely increasing again along the coast. It looks like it will be mostly cloudy Tuesday night and Wednesday, with highs Wednesday in the low 70s. There may be a couple showers on Wednesday. Thursday will offer a mix of sun and clouds with highs in the mid 70s, then look for skies to become mostly sunny by the weekend, along with pleasant days and seasonably chilly nights.

The gusty breezes will continue to cause high surf at the beach and Small Craft Advisory conditions out over the waters.

Tropics:

Tropical Storm Noel should move between west-northwest and northwest, roughly parallel to the coast of Cuba, affecting the Bahamas. Wednesday and Thursday the storm should turn to the north and northeast, ahead of a cold front, which will keep the effects of the storm well away from us. The storm may brush south Florida before heading out to sea to the northeast.

A Breezy Day

For today, there will be lots of clouds in the morning with some sun in the afternoon. The high will be in the upper 60’s. It will be breezy today with a strong high pressure north of the area. The high will create gusty northeast winds today. There is a possibility of shallow coastal flooding during times of high tide. For tonight, we’ll have patchy clouds with cool temperatures. The lows for tonight will be near 50. Tuesday through Friday there will be a mix of sun and clouds. A warming trend will start tomorrow with highs in the lower 70’s. By the middle of the week temperatures will be in the mid 70’s. Have a good week!


Tropics:

Tropical Storm Noel (Knoll) developed this weekend just south of Haiti. The storm brought flooding rain to Haiti over the past two days. The tropical storm has lost some strength this morning. The storm will move into Atlantic and move over the Bahamas on Tuesday into Wednesday. A cold front will move off the southeast coast by the end of the week. The front will push the tropical storm northeast by Thursday.

Mostly Dry This Weekend

Some spots will see some drizzle overnight, otherwise the rain has pulled out of the area. Drier air will work in from the west on Saturday, trying to bring some sun. The best chance to see sun will be inland areas, while the coast will be harder to clear, but hopefully will get to see some sun sometime in the afternoon. Highs Saturday will be mainly in the low 70s.

High pressure will build in from the northwest Sunday and Monday, resulting in a breezy northeast wind. Expect highs to reach the low 70s. The onshore flow will keep some clouds around heading into the new week. Also, the onshore wind combining with astronomical high tides due to the recent full moon could cause some beach erosion early next week.

A Wet Friday

We have received some rain this morning. The rain will stay with us through the afternoon. For today, there will be a good chance for showers. The high will be near 72-74. For tonight, we’ll have mostly cloudy skies with a chance for showers. The low will be near 62. Saturday there will be lots of clouds in the morning with a chance for a few showers. We may see the sun on Saturday afternoon. The high will be in the lower 70’s. Sunday there will be a mix of sun and clouds with a high of 72. A strong high-pressure system will build out of the northeast. We will have cool northeast winds on Monday. There will be a mix of sun and clouds with highs only near 70. Have a good weekend!
