Sunday, August 17, 2008: 2pm

Great weather pattern continues...

Through Wednesday, we will see sunny skies and highs in the upper 80s to near 90. Humidities will remain comfortable.

However, a low pressure system from the west combined with the remnants of Fay will move towards our area. However, there is a possibility that Fay could be to our east and the other storm from the west could be pushed away by Fay. For now, I will have a 30% chance of rain/storms Thursday-Saturday. Temps will remain in the upper 80s with slightly increased humidities.

Since neither of these systems will bring a cold front, next Sunday will begin a short period of hot and dry conditions. Humidities will be low, but highs will soar to near 90.


Tropical Storm Fay is now forecasted to have 80mph as it hits western Florida, according to the NHC. It currently has 50mph winds. The southern and southwestern parts of Florida, are under a Hurricane Watch. The Florida Keys are under a Hurricane Watch and a Tropical Storm Warning. This is expected to hit Florida early Tuesday morning.
