SUMMARY: Meteorologist Grant Skinner reports a medium chance for tropical development in the eastern and central Atlantic, but it will not threaten the US due to a steering pattern. Today‘s temperatures reach the mid to upper 80s, with highs around 88°F. Clear skies and a light breeze are expected throughout the evening. Tomorrow will be the warmest day of the week, reaching around 90°F. A cold front will move in late Monday into Tuesday, bringing cooler temperatures in the 70s by Wednesday, with overnight lows dropping to the mid-50s and possibly into the lower 40s by Thursday morning.

It was warm this afternoon, but it will be even warmer on Monday ahead of our next cold front. Tonight, temperatures will drop into the mid-60’s, so it will be more mild stepping out the door Monday morning. A few clouds will move into the area later in the day, and highs will reach to around 90° by the afternoon. Even with this front passing late Monday into Tuesday, rain chances will stay out of the picture thanks to limited moisture at the surface. Tuesday evening will be slightly more humid before very dry air and cooler temperatures push into the region. It will be a bit breezy on Wednesday with gusts up to 20-25 mph. Highs will drop into the 70’s for the back half of the work week, and our mornings will be quite cool in the 40’s and 50’s. We will have lots of sunshine throughout the next week. In the tropics, we are watching one area in the central Atlantic that has a medium chance of development over the next seven days. A tropical depression or storm could form later this week, but our overall steering pattern will likely keep any tropical systems away from the US.
