SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LIKELY THROUGH TOMORROW WITH HEAVY RAIN POSSIBLE

DRIER AND WARMER CONDITIONS ON TAP FOR THIS COMING WEEKEND

TROPICAL STORM FAY OVER SOUTH FLORIDA--ULTIMATE PATH STILL A MYSTERY (Details in tropical section below)

Mostly cloudy today with an 80% chance of showers or thunderstorms. Heavy rainfall is possible. Winds will be from the south at 10-15 mph. Expect high temperatures in the mid-80's. Tonight, we should see mostly cloudy skies and mild conditions with a 60% chance of showers or thunderstorms. Heavy rain is possible. Overnight lows will range from the upper-70's on the Island to the mid-70's inland. On Wednesday, we will have mostly cloudy skies with a 70% chance of showers or thunderstorms. Heavy rain will be possible. Highs will be in the mid-80's. Expect southerly winds at 10-15 mph.

DISCUSSION

Wet weather is likely for the couple of days. An abundance of Gulf moisture and a weak frontal boundary over Texas will interact with a deep upper-level low pressure area dropping southward from the Plains into Texas. This will create an unstable atmosphere and keep a good chance of thunderstorms in our picture through Wednesday. More sunshine and heat will reappear on Thursday and Friday as the upper-low moves out of the picture and more typical August weather returns.

Tropical Forecast
Tropical Storm Fay continues moving north-northeast over southern Florida. At 11 a.m., EDT, Fay was located near 26.7 N and 81.3 W. The storm was moving north-northeast at 9-mph with 60-mph winds. Central barometric pressure was 986 MB (29.12"). The storm is expected to move generally northward over Florida and then turn west at some point. Also, an area in the eastern Atlantic southwest of the Cape Verde Islands has some potential for development over the next few days. Elsewhere, no tropical storm formation is expected over the next 48-hours
