Rain chances should drop out this evening close to 8 pm.

Another round of downpours coming:

Wednesday, we’ll be tracking another round of thick tropical moisture coming in from Florida.

It will beef up our thunderstorm chances for today and Thursday, so make sure you are aware that outdoor activities could be impacted both afternoons.

Tracking the tropics:

The Atlantic is quiet with no tropical development expected in the next seven days. Did you know this is the third year in a row the tropics don’t have a named storm during the Labor Day weekend. This hasn’t happened since the 1930s! The peak of the hurricane season is September 11th and 12th.

So far this hurricane season, we have not had a hurricane form in the Atlantic basin. The latest first hurricane to form was Gustav and Humberto, which formed on September 11th. In the modern era, there has always been at least one hurricane to form.

With high pressure moving east, temperatures will be near average for this time of year, and sea breeze storms are possible nearly every day through the end of the week.
