High pressure over the Western Atlantic will remain stationary through the weekend. This will keep us under a typical summer pattern of scattered morning showers and afternoon/evening storms mainly inland as the sea breeze taps into surrounding tropical moisture.
Some of the neighboring moisture is courtesy of a weak area of low pressure entering the southeastern Gulf of Mexico. The bulk of the moisture is to the east of the center and could bring periods of heavy rain to the Florida Keys through Saturday night.
The National Hurricane Center is giving it low chances of tropical development over the next 5 days.
TROPICS
Your storm station is also watching two other areas of interest.
An area of low pressure more than 900 miles to the east of the Lesser Antilles. It will likely become a tropical depression by early next week. This one continues to look more like a hazard for the shipping lanes over the open waters of the Central Atlantic.
Additionally, an area of clouds and rain north of Puerto Rico and Hispaniola is not organized. No significant development is expected with this feature.
