It will be hot with afternoon temperatures reaching the 90s each day. the feel-like temperatures are expected to be between 100 and 107 degrees.

The First Alert Weather Team is also tracking a strong tropical wave over the Eastern Atlantic that may be either tropical storm or hurricane “Beryl” when it reaches the Lesser Antilles and the Caribbean by early next week.

RIGHT NOW: Mix of clouds & sun with scattered showers & storms moving east.

THE TROPICS: (1) a tropical wave moving into Western Caribbean has *some* potential for slow development over the weekend but a lot of land interaction & stays far from Florida. (2) A wave over the Central Atlantic has high potential for development upon approach to – then through – the Caribbean – by early next week - looks like it stays well south of Florida… (3) Another tropical wave is moving west off of Africa
