Low pressure stretched from southwest Florida to up off the Georgia coast continues feeding deep tropical moisture into Central Florida, keeping our rain chances fairly high into Tuesday.
- Rain chances at 70 percent Tuesday
- Potential Tropical Cyclone 10 may become Irma
- Lower rain chances the rest of the week if PTC 10 moves north
- Tropical Storm Harvey coverage

This low is expected to take on tropical characteristics and could become Irma off the coast of South Carolina as it moves away from us.
Harvey remains the top weather story nationwide, as it meanders over the Gulf of Mexico, then turns north and pushes into the mid-Mississippi Valley by Saturday.
Closer to home, pockets of light rain greeted some of us Monday morning, then scattered showers and storms through the afternoon.
It’s all thanks to Potential Tropical Cyclone Ten sitting off the coast of Georgia. PTC Ten may gain tropical characteristics over the next couple of days, and would be named Irma.

This system will scoot along the outer banks of North Carolina then out to sea, so no threat to Central Florida. A front stalled over us will keep rain chances at 70 percent Tuesday, but drier air punches in behind PTC Ten.
As rain chances lower Wednesday through Friday, more seasonable rain chances at 30 to 40 percent and highs in the lower 90s return.
A south-southeast windswell and east-northeast windswell mix along with wave heights of only one to two feet will keep surfing conditions fairly poor tomorrow. If you’re venturing into the mild waters of the Atlantic, the rip current threat stays low. Speaking of mild waters, sea surface temps are currently in the low to mid-80s along our east coast.
