...ANOTHER WET DAY ON WEDNESDAY BEFORE DRIER AIR WORKS INTO THE
AREA LATE THIS WEEK...

.SHORT TERM...
The showers and thunderstorms that have been occurring along the
east and west coast sea breezes will slowly dissipate through the
evening hours as the heating of the day is lost. However, showers
and thunderstorms will be on an increase over the east coast and
the Atlantic waters through tonight, as a trough of low pressure
over the Bahama Islands moves to the west northwest towards South
Florida.

The trough of low pressure will continue to move west northwest
through South Florida on Wednesday keeping the deep tropical
moisture in place. This will lead to scattered to numerous showers
and thunderstorms over South Florida, with the best coverage over
the east coast metro areas Wednesday morning shifting to the
interior and west coast metro areas in the afternoon.

Saharan Dust located over the Puerto Rico area will be moving
west northwest and should move into the South Florida area late
this week. This will help to lower the rain changes over South
Florida for late this week. The wind flow will also be southeast
late this week over South Florida, due to high pressure over the
Western Atlantic Waters. This will focus the highest chance over
the interior and west coast metro areas each afternoon.

Tropical Storm Earl over the western Caribbean Sea is forecast by
the National Hurricane Center to continue to move west northwest
towards the Yucatan Peninsula and the Southwest Gulf of Mexico
through the week. There will be no impacts of Earl to South
Florida this week.

.LONG TERM...
The high over the western Atlantic waters will shift southward
into South Florida, as a cold front will move southward from the
Tennessee Valley into the Southeastern United States. This will
allow for the wind flow to become more southerly over South
Florida this weekend leading to an increase in tropical moisture.
The best coverage of showers and thunderstorms will be over the
interior areas. However, all of South Florida will see isolated to
scattered showers and thunderstorms this weekend.

&&

.MARINE...
The winds will be southeast at 15 knots or less tonight through
late this week, before swinging to more of a southerly direction
this weekend with speeds decreasing to around 10 knots or less.
This will keep the seas at 3 feet or less in both the Atlantic and
Gulf waters of South Florida through this weekend. The threat of
rip currents will also continue to slowly decrease along the east
coast beaches through the week as the wind speeds slowly decrease.
