SUMMARY: There’s a small chance of tropical development in the central Atlantic, but it’s still a long way off with a 20% likelihood of becoming a tropical depression within the next 3-7 days. Even if it develops, it won’t impact the Labor Day weekend as it’s over 2000 miles away. Locally, temperatures are expected to reach the mid-90s, with some scattered showers possible, especially in the middle of the week. Rain chances will increase Wednesday through Friday but are expected to decrease by Labor Day. Despite high temperatures, the forecast indicates limited rain, making for a generally warm weekend.

Meteorologist Devon Lucie starts with an overview of what’s ahead for high temperatures and rain chances over the next 5 days while jumping ahead to the entire Labor Day Weekend forecast, then takes us through the next two days letting you know how hot we’ll be and when and where storms are most likely before rounding out the high resolution forecast with the forecast for clouds and rain through the rest of the weekend and the holiday weekend, while finishing up with a look at the tropics where there might be the potential of some development by Labor Day Monday.

SUMMARY: Tropical weather is quiet in the Atlantic, with disturbed weather centered over Central America and scattered storms in the Gulf and Caribbean. The Bermuda High remains strong, limiting activity in the Caribbean. In the Pacific, a new storm south of Mexico, Invest 94, is likely to become a named storm and could reach hurricane strength as it moves toward southern Mexico, possibly making landfall midweek near Acapulco. Warm waters and low wind shear support potential intensification. The Atlantic season remains delayed, with peak activity expected in August and September. Meanwhile, a significant heatwave will impact much of the eastern and central U.S. heading into summer’s start Friday.

Meteorologist Payton Malone has the latest update on the tropics for Monday, June 16.
