Looking good for Labor but rain returns for Tuesday. Highs in the 80s all week, warmer to start and cooler to end the week.
Another day of nice weather for Labor Day. Highs will return to the upper 80s today, just a few degrees above normal for this time of year. Expect partly cloudy skies with a stray shower possible.

A few scattered showers will linger for Wednesday with partly cloudy skies. Highs will drop to the low and mid 80s as the cold front slips to our south.
Expect partly cloudy skies with low rain chances for the second half of the work week. Highs will linger in the low to mid 80s and NE/E winds will ramp up.

Tropical Update
Hurricane Danielle is centered about 915 miles WNW of the Azores and moving NNE at 8 mph. A general NE motion is expected until late this week. Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 85 mph with higher gusts. Slow weakening is forecast for the next several days.
Tropical Storm Earl is centered 215 miles north of St. Thomas and moving NNW at 5 mph. A slow motion to the NNW or north is forecast to continue for the next 24 to 48 hours followed by a gradual turn to the NNE. NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft data indicated that the maximum sustained winds are near 65 mph with higher gusts. Earl could become a hurricane later this week as it approaches Bermuda.
A tropical wave located southeast of the Cabo Verde Islands continues to produce a broad area of disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity. An area of low pressure is forecast to form with this system in the next day or so, and environmental conditions appear marginally favorable for additional development. A tropical depression could form by the latter part of this week as this system moves generally WNW or NW over the eastern and central tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours: Low (10%)
* Formation chance through 5 days: Medium (40%)
