It looks like we’re heading back to the more “typical†summer pattern with hot and humid conditions accompanied by a few afternoon storms. Rain chances could go up a little for late Sunday into Monday, and possibly Tuesday, in response to a tropical wave that should be traversing the Gulf. It looks like a relatively sedate pattern returns with hotter temperatures mid-late next week.Â
In the tropics there is a westward moving tropical wave bisecting the Central Caribbean. Conditions look hostile for any development with this feature in the near term. Farther east, there is a strong tropical wave accompanied by a surface low pressure system about 650 miles to the WSW of the Cape Verde Islands. While this system is currently at a low latitude, I think it has plenty of potential for development and it will probably be the next named system…fasten your seatbelts, it will start to get more interesting as we head into the first week of August.Â
