Introduction to Weather Outlook
It’s been a warm and calm start Tuesday morning with temps in the low-80s but feeling like the mid- and upper-80s. Mainly rain-free skies have kicked off the day, but that will change as we head into the afternoon and evening.
Current Weather Conditions
Heat advisories are in effect until 7 p.m., and feel-like temperatures could peak at 110 degrees in the afternoon. Scattered downpours are expected but it will be welcomed to help break up some of the heat. Rain chances start to increase a bit as we head into the middle of the week. This is going to help use up some of the humidity that’s giving us the oppressive heat index values.
Tracking the Tropics
The tropics are waking up. There is a low chance of development off the eastern coast of Florida as a low-pressure system could develop late week. Tropical Storm Dexter is still moving away from the U.S. It’s interacting with some wind shear, but still forecast to hold together into the weekend. There is also an area in the central Atlantic with a medium chance of development. There is still a bit of Saharan dust but the tropical waves tend to maneuver around the dust. If that happens, a low could move into an environment that will favor development by the end of the week.
