SUMMARY: The latest weather update indicates a category 4 storm, currently far from land and expected to only affect the Azores. Tropical Storm Leslie may strengthen into a hurricane, posing potential risks to Bermuda. A system moving from the Pacific could influence Gulf weather while tracking southeast, avoiding significant impacts on the local area. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are anticipated, particularly dampening football fields in coastal counties today. However, conditions will improve with clouds and fewer active showers tonight. Looking ahead, a front will bring sunny, pleasant fall weather next week, providing a welcome change.
