11/4 - Monday

Warm start to the week with a few showers • Temperatures this morning are in the 60s and 70s • Highs today will rise into the low 80s, with middle 80s expected Tuesday. • A few showers are expected at times today as onshore flow continues off the Atlantic. • An isolated shower is possible for Election Day. • Winds will be out of the east at 10-15 mph • Late-week rain chances appear to be increasing, perhaps in part due to the tropics. • No legitimately cool air is in sight. TROPICS: • Tropical Storm Patty is headed to Portugal & weakening • A disturbance in the Caribbean is organizing & forecast to move to the Gulf as a named storm • This system is expected to become Rafael and then a hurricane on Wednesday • Conditions in the Gulf will be a bit hostile and should weaken this system • The current forecast track keeps it west of Florida • Any impacts locally would be very fringe – an uptick in rain would be the only thing & onshore winds just won’t go away • There may be another system that develops behind what should be Rafael near the Bahamas • Early indications keep that one away from Florida too • Next name after Rafael is Sara TODAY: Partly cloudy, breezy, a few showers. HIGH: 83 (Record: 87 – 2003) TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Coastal shower. LOW: 66 ELECTION DAY: Partly cloudy, very warm & breezy, isolated shower. 66/84 (Record: 87 – 2003) WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy, increasing showers. 71/82 THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy, scattered showers. 72/81 FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy, scattered showers. 71/80 SATURDAY: Partly sunny, isolated shower. 68/81 SUNDAY: Partly sunny, isolated shower. 67/80
