Rain chances will be typical at about a 30% through Thursday. We will continue to tap into some moisture from the Atlantic from time-to-time, but at least they will be brief. Drier air settles into South Florida for the weekend.

Today in the Tropics
The National Hurricane Center is monitoring the potential for a non-tropical area of low pressure to form Northeast of Bermuda late Thursday or early Friday. It could happen as it moves Southwestward over warm waters and acquire subtropical characteristics. Based on latest model runs, it is forecast to lift out toward the North-Northeast over the Northern Atlantic on Sunday where conditions are least favorable for growth. Right now, it has a low chance to develop over the next 5 days.
Hurricane Season officially starts June 1st!
HERE WE GO… NHC is watching a non-tropical low pressure area that could develop a few miles NE of Bermuda as it moves SW over warmer water on Friday. It could acquire subtropical characteristics before it lifts out toward the N/NE this weekend. pic.twitter.com/tYJQGyRXgT
