MIDWAY, Fl. (WTXL) -- The presence of a tropical moisture source in the Caribbean/SE Gulf of Mexico will help to promote higher rain coverage through midweek. Specifics though, can't be determined due to models disagreeing on where the core of this system travels. With that in mind, heavy rain looks more likely for Tuesday/Wednesday.
Monday: Still on the fringe of this pesky disturbance, a fairly typical Summer-time pattern is expected, with increasing cloud cover toward midday and beyond. Expect morning lows in the lower to mid 70s, with onshore flow allowing for isolated morning showers/storms. The afternoon is expected to feature highs in the mid to upper 80s, with scattered to numerous showers and storms (rain coverage at 50%).
Your Beach and Boating forecast and your Tide Times for Monday are below:
Tuesday/Wednesday: At this point, rain coverage will be likely (60-70% or higher), with mostly cloudy skies. Expect lows in the lower to mid 70s and highs in the lower 80s.
IMPORTANT: Whatever this disturbance does with respect to movement will ultimately determine our impacts. This system is NOT expected to become a significant storm in terms of winds, but the rain threat will be an issue. If the storm moves further west of Florida, less flood potential will be the likely result. If this storm moves closer east toward the Big Bend, significant flooding becomes a more real possibility. Make sure you are weather aware, regardless of impacts.
Thursday through Sunday: While rain is still possible every day through the weekend, a warm-up is anticipated as a more typical Summer-like pattern revamps (just in time for the OFFICIAL START of Summer). Expect lows in the lower 70s, with highs in the mid 80s on Thursday climbing back to the lower 90s by Saturday.
