Staying hot this weekend, watching the tropics

It’s going to be another hot day! Highs will reach the low to mid 90s this afternoon. There is a small chance for an isolated shower or storm, but most of us will stay dry. We’ll see a mix of sun and clouds. It will stay quiet tonight with lows in the 70s.

Almost no rain is expected Monday through Wednesday. Highs will be in the mid 90s. However, we could see more showers on Thursday and Friday. Highs may drop near 90.

In the tropics, we have Tropical Storm Humberto north of the Bahamas. It will eventually curve to the northeast, and it may become a hurricane by Monday. It is not a threat to the U.S. There is a very small chance that this upper level low in the Gulf could help form a tropical system in the next five days. At this time, it does not look to be a threat to South Mississippi, but it may bring heavy rain to parts of Texas. There is another tropical wave in the East Atlantic that has a high chance of becoming a tropical depression. It is not a threat to the U.S. at this time.
