Your Friday evening will have a mix of sun and clouds, with a breeze. There may be a few light showers here and there, but nothing major.
Even though the showers will end, it will stay humid tonight. Patchy dense fog is possible late tonight, so be careful if you need to drive late tonight or very early tomorrow morning.
As a whole, the weekend looks great. The humidity is going down, and the prediction calls for more sun than clouds.
There will be a chance of a few splash and dash showers in the afternoons on both Saturday and Sunday. These showers will stay along the east coast.
When it comes to beaches, there is once again a VERY HIGH risk of rip currents and big waves breaking on the rocks, so you might want to spend this beautiful weekend on the sand.
From Friday through Sunday, highs will be in the mid-80s and lows will be in the low 70s.
The weather is going to get cooler soon! Soon, a cold front will come through. It will bring temps back to normal for this time of year, with highs in the low 80s and lows in the 60s.
Clouds will keep moving around and a few showers may pop up, but it will get VERY windy. East winds 10 to 20 mph with gusts to 25 mph across our area.
Along the coasts, this will also cause some pretty rough surf, so be careful if you plan to go to the beach or on a boat next week.
Tracking the Tropics
Hurricane Rafael is still getting weaker in the Gulf of Mexico. The storm will not hit the United States directly, but it will make the Gulf Coast very dangerous.
The National Hurricane Center said that rip currents and waves caused by Rafael could be dangerous to people on the Gulf Coast through the weekend.
The last big storm to hit the Gulf of Mexico in November was storm Kate in 1985. Hurricane Rafael is the first one to hit in November since 2007.
There is also a 20% chance that a tropical system will form in the Caribbean, but it is not likely to become a named system. This might, however, make it a little more likely that it will rain early next week.
