7/30 – Payton’s Tuesday Afternoon Forecast

FORECAST: Rain chances will be a little higher today, but we’re still not expecting widespread rainfall. Temperatures will max out in the upper 90s with a mix of sun and clouds. Tonight will be in the mid 70s under mostly clear skies. The rest of the week follows a similar pattern with a very low chance of a popup t-storm and highs in the lower 90s.

TROPICS:Two tropical waves are being watched by the NHC for development.

Wave #1 – This wave is passing near Puerto Rico and isn’t expected to develop over the next few days. By the end of this week it will move closer to The Bahamas and has a VERY LOW chance of development, and really just doesn’t look like it’ll be much at this point. It’ll eventually head east into the Atlantic.

Wave #2 – This wave is way out there in the Atlantic and has a better shot of doing something later this week into the weekend as it approaches the Lesser Antilles. It’s still a long ways away from being a concern for anyone in the U.S. There’s no guarantee that it does anything, and it’s just something to keep an eye on for now. But it has the best shot at becoming our next named storm…which would be Chantal.
