Today’s Weather: Changing Conditions – From High Humidity to More Stable Weather
A vigorous tropical wave moved into our area last night and increased the shower and thunderstorm activity overnight, particularly over the U.S. Virgin Islands and eastern Puerto Rico, the National Weather Service said.
Breezy conditions will continue as well, according to the NWS.
“Residents and visitors should continue to monitor the weather conditions as the day progresses,” the NWS said on X.
This tropical wave will dominate our weather conditions today, bringing very humid weather to the region, the NWS said.
However, changes are on the way as the Saharan dust moves in, leading to more stable weather conditions, according to the NWS.
Dry conditions with moderate concentrations of Saharan Dust will prevail most of the week, the NWS said.
By Friday, a tropical wave will approach the area, increasing the potential for showers and thunderstorms, according to the NWS.
- Flood risk: Limited to elevated in areas with afternoon storms, mostly out west.
- Breezy E-SE winds will begin to bring in more stable air.
- Heat risk: Limited to locally moderate in coastal/urban areas.
- Hazy skies expected due to Saharan dust.
