Scattered Monday evening storms; monitoring 4 tropical disturbances

High temperatures will climb into the upper 80s and low 90s under increasing cloud cover. Ample humidity will still make some inland locations experience triple-digit heat.

Boaters will have another favorable forecast on the water if they can dodge Monday’s rain chances. Light chop and 1- to 2-foot wave heights are expected.

Substantial rain chances will form across the entire WINK News viewing area. After a mostly sunny start to the morning, isolated storm chances will begin shortly after lunchtime. The scale and strength of these storms will only increase into the evening. A few of these may produce lightning, gusty wind and isolated flooding. Severe weather is not expected.

In the tropics, The Weather Authority is keeping an eye on four unique areas of disturbed weather. One disturbance that has a low (10%) chance of forming east of Bermuda poses no threat to the United States. Two other disturbances have a slight chance of forming by the end of the workweek. Near the Yucatan Peninsula, there is a low (10%) chance of a system organizing into a named storm. Meanwhile, a low (30%) chance of formation exists for a tropical wave exiting the coast of Africa. Each of these three disturbances will be monitored and none of them pose any immediate threat to Florida.

A broad area of low pressure in the Mid-Atlantic now has a high (80%) chance of becoming a named storm by Friday. Environmental conditions ahead of this disturbance appear to be favorable. Warm sea surface temperatures and a lack of shear will likely give the system enough ingredients to organize and strengthen it in the western Atlantic. While there is growing confidence that this will stay north of the Caribbean Sea, it is too early to speculate on a future path until it develops. This is only something to monitor throughout the week. The next name on our Atlantic 2022 storm naming list is Danielle.
