Northeast breezes will continue on Monday, gusty along the coast. Temperatures will remain pleasant, with highs in the low 80s. A gradual increase in moisture the next couple days will result in more clouds mixing with sunshine near the coast along with a slight chance of coastal showers by Tuesday. Rain chances may increase more for Wednesday and Thursday.
On the coast:
Heavy surf will continue on Monday, with more beach erosion expected due to the combination of high tides and gusty northeast breezes. The risk of riptides will remain high.
Tropics:
Disorganized weather around the Bahamas could get better organized as it moves west across the Florida Straits into the Gulf of Mexico the next couple days.

Cooler and Breezy This Weekend
High pressure building to the north will provide cooler temperatures and low humidity this weekend, giving us a true taste of fall. Expect plenty of sun with highs in the low 80s and lows dropping to near 60. Breezes will be brisk at times, especially along the coast.
On the coast:
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 and possible beach erosion as well as an enhanced risk of riptides. There is also a good chance of shallow coastal flooding around the morning high tides Saturday (10:31 a.m., 8.9 feet) and Sunday (11:26 a.m., 8.7 feet).
Tropics:
"Lorenzo" moved onshore in Mexico Friday morning as a category one hurricane. The system will dissipate over Mexico, but continue to produce flooding rains there as it does.
"Karen" is barely hanging on as a tropical storm in the central Atlantic. Unfavorable winds aloft are hurting this system, which is expected to weaken to a tropical depression this weekend as it moves northwest.
Finally, a new tropical depression has formed in the far eastern Atlantic. This system could become a tropical storm (Melissa) this weekend.

Cooler Weather Almost Here
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.

A Warm Fall Day
For today, there will be mainly sunny skies in the morning then a mix of sun and clouds. The afternoon high will be in the upper 80’s. For tonight, we’ll have areas of clouds as a cold front moves into the area. The low will be near 68. I don’t see much of a chance for showers or storms with the front. The cold front will pass through the area early on Friday morning. For Friday, there will be mostly sunny skies with highs remaining warm in the upper 80’s. Saturday and Sunday will feel more like fall with highs in the lower 80’s and lower humidity.
Tropics:
Tropical Storm Karen:
Karen is looking less organized this morning. There is some upper level wind shear pushing the storms away from the center of circulation. Karen has winds of 65 mph, and is 950 miles east of the Windward Islands. The computer models continue to show Karen to turn north over the next five days.
Tropical Depression #13:
TD #13 has not strengthened over the last 24 hrs. The depression is drifting west towards the coast of Mexico. TD #13 should make landfall early Saturday in Mexico.
We have passed the peak of hurricane season, and now we are seeing the most activity all season long. There are a few more areas that have potential to develop over the next few days. We will be watching those areas for development into the weekend.

Muggy Weather Through Friday
Temperatures will remain above average the next couple days until a cold front brings a taste of fall this weekend. Highs Thursday and Friday will be in the upper 80s, with a few spots in the area reaching 90. Rain chances look pretty low; there is a slight chance a shower or thunderstorm could make it into the western part of our area Thursday evening. Breezes will be from the west-northwest Friday just behind the cold front, providing warm and dry conditions. Then breezes will turn to the northeast for the weekend and will be brisk along the coast. Highs will drop into the low 80s this weekend, with some upper 70s at the beaches.
The combination of astronomical high tides due to the full moon and northeast winds this weekend could lead to minor coastal flooding at the times of high tide Saturday and Sunday mornings.
Tropics:
Tropical Storm Karen is about midway between Africa and the Lesser Antilles. It will be moving mainly northwest the next few days through the central Atlantic and to the northeast of the Lesser Antilles. The storm may become a hurricane for a while the next day or two, then unfavorable upper level winds could weaken it back to a tropical storm.
The tropical depression in the southwest Gulf of Mexico will move slowly and erratically the next 2 to 4 days before making landfall in Mexico. The system still has a good chance to become a named system (Lorenzo).
Low pressure with showers and thunderstorms will be east of Florida Thursday moving northeast. Any possible development of this system will have no impact on our weather as it will remain well offshore ahead of an approaching cold front.

A Warm Day
We will have a mix of sun and clouds today with a stray shower possible. The afternoon high will be near 86. For tonight, we’ll have partly cloudy skies with patchy fog late. The low will be 68. Thursday there will be a slight chance for a shower with a high of 88. A cold front moves through the area on Friday. The front will bring a chance for showers early on Friday then clear the area out for the weekend. The high temperatures will be in the lower 80’s for Saturday and Sunday. It will feel more like fall by Saturday.
Tropics:
Tropical Storm Karen:
Karen is becoming stronger in the open Atlantic. Karen is looking more like it could become a hurricane over the next few days. No change from the thinking of yesterday that Karen will turn north in the next 3 to 4 days. Here is the forecast track form the National Hurricane Center:

Tropical Depression #13:
TD #13 will be making landfall this weekend in Mexico. It could become a tropical storm before making landfall on Saturday.

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.
