Chances of rain increase later this week, perhaps partly due to the tropics.

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
