by the weekend a trough of low pressure emerges across the eastern part of the country and pyxis -- picks it up and moves it northeast. visible satellite imagery you see a clearly defined eye on the western side of the island of hispaniola. this is a forecast computer model and if you have not seen rain yet you might see more showers and thunderstorms generate. instability in the atmosphere which can be seen by looking at 30% chance of thunderstorms tuesday and 30% chance wednesday. mostly in the afternoon but this is by the end of the week where we see the movement of matthew which plays an important part in the forecast of florida. strong wind gusts at the end of the week and something we have
