Atmospheric moisture stays low for this time of year as we are still feeling some effects of the latest intrusion of Saharan air.

The Bermuda high that is sitting in the Atlantic starts to weaken on Saturday as an upper-level disturbance moves in our vicinity.

Saturday will be a good day to take the boat out with seas 2 feet or less. The only exception will be if a storm develops resulting in temporary higher seas and winds.

We'll see slightly higher rain chances on the East Coast on Saturday as showers and storms will start a little closer to the coast.

Sunday will feature slightly higher rain chances as overall moisture levels increase.

Unfortunately. our high heat and humidity will stick around through the weekend and into next week too with temps in the 90s and a heat index in the triple digits.

The feels like temps will generally range from the 105 to 100-degree range.

The pattern changes again by mid-week as stronger easterly winds return. This easterly flow will keep us in a typical summertime pattern with a better chance of showers and storms near the coast in the morning.

During early afternoon, activity will quickly push inland.

We are watching an area of disturbed weather located in the central tropical Atlantic moving west-northwest.

Some development is possible as it approaches the Lesser Antilles. It has a 20% chance of developing.
