Storm Team 3: Much needed rain returns for the weekend
Share this @internewscast.com

We’re monitoring some much-needed rain approaching this weekend, particularly on Sunday and Monday. A weak low-pressure system currently near the Bahamas is gradually moving west-northwest toward Florida. Although it’s carrying tropical moisture, it’s not anticipated to develop into a tropical system. Instead, it will bring increased humidity and a higher likelihood of rain across the Southeast.

Throughout the weekend, expect more cloud cover with a few isolated showers today and heavier, more widespread rain on Sunday. Today will be the drier of the two days. Considering the ongoing drought conditions in the region, the forthcoming rain will be advantageous.

Temperatures will remain near normal, with highs in the lower 80s. However, strong northeast winds will persist, with gusts up to 25 mph expected into next week. These consistent winds are also causing tides to rise along the coast. At Fort Pulaski, high tides are anticipated to reach minor flood stage tonight and Sunday, potentially rising just above that level on Monday.

Looking ahead, drier weather is expected for Tuesday and Wednesday as high pressure settles in from the north. Anticipate a mix of sun and clouds with highs rising into the mid 80s. Another cold front is expected Thursday into Friday, bringing cooler temperatures along with a chance of isolated rain and storms.

Tropical Updates

Apart from the weak low-pressure system near the Bahamas, there is a 50% medium chance for development within the next week for a wave predicted to form off of Africa. This wave is expected to interact with another disturbance over the eastern tropical Atlantic and then move westward. Environmental conditions are projected to become favorable for some slow development of the system in a few days, with a tropical depression possibly forming by the end of next week. Currently, models project it to curve back out to sea. The next name on the list is Jerry!
