After a beautiful start to the weekend, we will keep the trend of nice weather and unseasonably warm temperatures into the forecast, looking ahead into the end of the weekend and start of next week as well!
Behind that front that moved through on Saturday, high pressure will build back into the region, and there won’t be much of a dip in temperatures behind that front either. We are expecting plenty of sunshine for the end of the weekend on Sunday, and temperatures are back into the 80s by the time we get to Sunday afternoon. The weather looks great for tailgating and also for the Detroit Lions’we home game heading into Sunday afternoon.
Mainly clear skies can be expected overnight Sunday and into Monday morning. Temperatures feel comfortable, dropping back into the mid-50s by the time we head out the door on Monday morning.
High pressure builds back in for the start of next week on Monday, which keeps the sunshine in the forecast along with well-above-average temperatures. We’re back into the 80s once again by the time we get to late Monday afternoon.
Another cold front rolls into the region by Tuesday, and this does bring a little more cloud cover for the middle of the week. But once again, we are not forecasting any rain with the frontal boundary that will move through Tuesday into Tuesday night. Temperatures start to drop by the time we get to the middle of next week, we’re into the upper 70s by Tuesday afternoon.
Once that front moves through by late Tuesday night, we will bring more sunshine into the forecast for the second half of next week, but we will also bring some cooler air in behind that front as well. Expect temperatures to drop into the low to mid-70s by the time we get to Thursday and Friday. And expect that dry weather to continue into the start of next week and on Saturday as well. Temperatures will remain in the low to mid- to upper 70s by the time we get to next Saturday afternoon.
TROPICAL UPDATE: We’re still tracking two (2) systems into the Eastern Atlantic and Caribbean through the weekend and into the start of next week:
HURRICANE HUMBERTO: Strengthened into a Category 5 Hurricane on Saturday, and is forecast to remain a powerful major hurricane into the start of next week. Humberto being strong is a good thing right now, as it will have an impact on Tropical Depression Nine, or “Soon-to-be” Imelda, and help drag it out into the Atlantic by the middle of next week.
TROPICAL DEPRESSION NINE (SOON-TO-BE IMELDA): Tropical Depression Nine has been meandering just north of Cuba for the last day or so, with winds of 35 MPH, and not showing any signs of strengthening just yet. We are expecting it to become Tropical Storm Imelda by late Saturday or Sunday, as it picks up strength over warm water and more favorable atmospheric conditions. Beyond that, there’s the possibility it could reach hurricane intensity around Monday or Tuesday.
By early next week, the depression/storm is forecast to approach the southeastern U.S. coast (Florida, Georgia, up into the Carolinas). However, current track guidance suggests it will stay offshore rather than make landfall — though its effects (rain, surf, winds) could still be considerable along coasts. A key thing to keep in mind is uncertainty: small shifts in the storm’s path (either more toward land or pushed out to sea) can change which areas get the worst impacts. Also, the storm is moving more slowly than some earlier models expected, which might mean more lingering effects (rain, especially).
- Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for the Central Bahamas (Cat Island, the Exumas, Long Island, Rum Cay, San Salvador) and parts of the northwestern Bahamas, including Eleuthera, New Providence, the Abacos, Berry Islands, Andros, and Grand Bahama.
- Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for the east coast of Florida, from the Palm Beach/Martin County line northward to the Flagler/Volusia County line.
