We had an upper low sitting above us in the atmosphere today. That resulted in numerous scattered large storms.

  • Numerous, large-scale scattered storms Monday
  • The evening should be clearer
  • Tuesday will be warm and muggy, coastal areas a little cooler

Going forward we’ll see slowly clearing skies overnight into early Tuesday morning.

Morning lows will be in the low to mid 70s for most areas, but upper 70s right at the beach.

Tuesday will again be warm and muggy with highs easily getting to the upper 80s to low 90s. Coastal areas will be coolest due to an onshore breeze. There will be a 30 percent coverage of scattered storms. Any storms that develop will have an eastward movement, with most of them drifting inland in the afternoon to evening.

The first cold front of the season might be on the way for late this week. We’re discussing that in the seven day forecast.

In the tropics:

Showers and thunderstorms associated with a broad area of low pressure located about 950 miles east-southeast of the Windward Islands have increased and become slightly better organized since yesterday. 

A tropical depression is likely to form during the next day or two while the system moves westward to west- northwestward at 15 to 20 mph. 

Regardless of development, heavy rains and strong gusty winds, possibly to tropical storm force, are expected to spread over the Windward Islands and portions of the southern Lesser Antilles beginning late Tuesday or Wednesday.

An Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate this disturbance on Tuesday afternoon.
