Unsettled Mid-Week

Tropical Storm Michael Update

TS Michael has sustained winds of 70 mph. It will likely develop into a hurricane today. It will make landfall near  the Florida Panhandle on Wednesday. Models show a bit more aggressive development of a major hurricane before landfall. However, shear in the Gulf could hinder this development in the coming days. Regardless storm surge, strong wind and flooding will be impacts along the Florida Gulf Coast. For us, as of now with continuous eastward and rapid movement of the storm once it hits land means still the potential for showers and heavy rain beginning on Wednesday. However, wind and tornado threat look minimal.

Patchy fog for much of the morning with a chance for rain and storms this afternoon. Highs will reach the low 80s under mostly cloudy skies. Rain and storm chances pick up with Michael by midweek. We could see 1-3″ of rain with isolated higher amounts for the higher elevations. By the end of the week and into the weekend we will finally be getting our taste of Fall. Highs will reach the low 70s with overnight lows falling into the 40s and 50s.
