PM Update: Pleasantly cool tonight ahead of a mild, sunny Wednesday

Posted by Fernande Dalal on Sunday, July 21, 2024

Midsummer heat is on the way. But first, we went through some weather glory today. There might have been a few too many clouds at times, yet it hardly sullied the day. Highs in the mid-70s are more like what we might have expected several weeks back. While brilliant, it won’t last. Temperatures begin rising tomorrow, and it turns hot to close out the workweek.

Tomorrow (Wednesday): Another decent one. Highs should rise to the mid-80s or so under a good deal of sun. Humidity also stays low, as winds blow lightly out of the west.

Florida storminess: The storm system set to drench Florida that we talked about here yesterday has caught a bit more of the eye of forecasters at the National Hurricane Center. They now foresee a 20 percent chance of it developing into a tropical cyclone over the next seven days. During that time, it is forecast to progress to a position off the southeast coast and well west of Bermuda.
