Rain chances will increase even more next week as another front drops in from the north and stalls out over the area.

There is a tropical wave, identified as Invest 91L, which is currently progressing westward through the central Atlantic. It is starting to show signs of organization and may turn into a tropical depression by the weekend. Forecast models are uncertain about its path, alternating between east and west.
