We're going to have more heat to deal with the next two days, as afternoon temperatures likely rise above 90 degrees. Rain chances will be minimal, although I wouldn't rule out a shower or thunderstorm Thursday afternoon.
The main attention continues to be focused on a tropical wave located about 350 miles north of Puerto Rico as of late Tuesday evening. Hurricane hunters did not find a closed circulation today, but upper level conditions are expected to become more conducive for development and most of our tropical models are forecasting at least a tropical storm to form over the next 24 hours. The latest model tracks shown below (from the late evening data) favor a track east of the coast by Saturday. However, the data has fluctuated a bit and we could see some interaction with a front over the region later in the week. Either way, it looks like we could see a decent influx of moisture over the area, which could lead to some decent rainfall to start the weekend. We'll have to keep a close eye on the development of this system...so stay tuned for updates!
