Meteorologist Myles Henderson’s First Warning Forecast
Hot again today, but not for long… Highs will return to the low 90s this afternoon, about 15 degrees above normal for this time of year. We will see sunshine most of the day with clouds building later this afternoon. Scattered showers and storms are possible this evening and tonight as a cold front moves through. A few heavy downpours are possible but severe storms are not expected.
Clouds and showers will clear out early Tuesday morning as the cold front moves off of the East Coast. Cooler and less humid air will move in behind the front. Expect sunshine with highs in the mid 70s tomorrow afternoon.
Highs will return to the mid 70s on Wednesday, near normal for this time of year. Sunny skies will continue through midweek.
Our next chance for showers and storms will move in later Thursday. Temperatures will warm back to the 80s and 90s by the end of the week.

Tropical Update
We are watching a large area of cloudiness and disorganized showers several hundred miles to the southwest of Bermuda. A low pressure system is expected to form within this area of disturbed weather later today, and possibly develop into a short-lived subtropical or tropical cyclone by tonight or Tuesday while moving north or northeast. By Wednesday conditions are forecast to become unfavorable for further development and the system should become rapidly absorbed by a cold front.
* Formation chance through 48 hours: Medium (60%)
* Formation chance through 5 days: Medium (60%)
