WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — While some areas will see passing showers and downpours continue through the evening hours and even overnight, others will see partly cloudy skies to kick off your Labor Day weekend.

Temperatures will fall tonight into the upper 70s.

Over the holiday weekend, expect abundant tropical moisture to stick around so that means a continuation of higher rain chances with the potential for some heavy downpours at times.

There will be periods of sunshine though to get outside and enjoy the Labor Day weekend.

Rain chances for the next 7 days

Highs will be near 90 with heat index in the triple digits. lows will be in the 70s.

In the tropics, there are three areas highlighted now.

One system is in the Gulf of Mexico, another is about midway in the tropical Atlantic Ocean and a third is just off the coast of Africa.

The middle one has the highest chance to develop at 50%, but more so later next week when it gets into the Caribbean.

The one in the northern Gulf of Mexico will not affect our weather but will bring rain to portions of Louisiana.

Finally, the system near the Cabo Verde islands is a week or two from getting anywhere near the U.S., so plenty of time to watch.
