6:26 pm

6:27 pm
tropics. there's florida, a big glob of clouds that developed this afternoon in the western gulf. it had heavier rain in cuba. kind of hard to even see the circulation because it's kind of detached from the center. but see that big glob there? it's slowly beginning to move up to the north and northeast. right now, we have clouds in the carolinas, watching that as well. i just tracked the spaghetti models. you can see how some of them have them offshore. the more it spends time over land, it's just going to be a rain storm. as soon as it comes inland, it will lose most of its tropical characteristics. we expect to see rain out of it. that will be on friday. looks like a wet friday around the region. for saturday, maybe a lingering shower as that system moves through. sunshine for monday. east winds on the knot, 5 to 10. tonight, look for generally clear, to partly cloudy skies. 59, that's normal low. and tomorrow, back up to where you are now. 77, mainly cloudy. and because the clouds keep temperatures down a little bit. some showers likely tomorrow night. maybe a couple of thundershowers in the region.
