Winds out of the Southeast and East will draw up tropical moisture from the Caribbean into South Florida. This is keeping a good chance of seeing scattered showers and storms in the forecast through Saturday. Fewer expected on Sunday.

Gonzalo will likely become a hurricane on Thursday over the Atlantic Ocean. It will move through the Southern Windward Islands on Saturday and then emerge into the Eastern Caribbean Sea on Sunday. It will encounter dry air and shear down the road that could help it fall apart or keep it as a weaker system. If it survives, Jamaica, Hispaniola and Cuba should be keeping an eye on Gonzalo. Barbados, St. Vincent and the Grenadines are under a hurricane watch.
As of the 8 a.m. advisory, Tropical Storm #Gonzalo continues to move westward. A hurricane watch has been issued for St. Vincent and the Grenadines. #7weather pic.twitter.com/IJkHCvUFZq
