Good Thursday, everyone. We have another awesome weather day in store for the region, but the tropics are taking control of the setup in the coming days. This will have an, at least, indirect impact on our weather as we roll through the first week of September.

Temps out there today are pretty awesome so enjoy.

A weak cold front drops into the state from the north late Friday into Saturday and could hang around into Sunday. That doesn’t have very much moisture with it, but it could produce a shower or thunderstorm during this time. The best chance is across the northern half of the state…

That front may also mean a bit of a temperature gradient setting up from north to south, depending on just how far south it can get.

That may be determined by Hurricane Dorian as it continues to on collision course with Florida. This is now forecast to become a major hurricane making landfall in the Sunshine State over Labor Day Weekend…

That could be a devastating hit for Florida from the east, with even a potential second landfall if it can emerge over the eastern Gulf. Obviously, the farther west it gets, the better the chance it would have of impacting our weather next week.

Some of the operational models are close…

Temps ahead of landfalling tropical systems can get pretty steamy around here, so that’s certainly something to watch for early next week.

Have a great day and take care.
