Labor Day weekend starts today and the forecast isn't the best with showers and storms possible each day of the 3-day holiday. But it won't be totally bad, just be prepared in case it rains.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers and storms throughout the day. Higher chances of storms in the afternoon. Highs in the lower 80s. Winds from the SW at 5 to 10 mph.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy with patchy fog developing, along with shower and storm chances. Lows in the mid to upper 60s. Winds from the SW at 5 mph.
TOMORROW: Partly sunny with showers and storms possible again anytime during the day. Highs in the lower 80s. Winds from the SW at 5 to 10 mph.
Labor Day on Monday continues the stormy trend, perhaps more numerous than Saturday and Sunday.
ATLANTIC TROPICS
- A developing tropical wave located off the coast of Africa has a decent chance of being named Gabrielle. It's heading straight at the Cape Verde Islands who will see some nasty weather with it strengthening over the area. NHC has a 40% chance of development in the next 48 hours.
- Tropical wave in the Central Atlantic slowly and steadily making its way toward the Caribbean where it should encounter higher sea surface temperatures. Whether or not it picks up convection and organizes remains to be seen. Still 4-7 days away for any true signs. The reliable models continue to do nothing with it though.
