Tropical Weather Forecast - September 8, 2023
Hurricane Lee has weakened slightly from a Category 5 but is still a powerful Category 4 Hurricane in the west central Atlantic. It should remain a major hurricane through early next week as it passes north of the Lesser Antilles, Puerto Rico, & Hispaniola. It could still bring some impacts to the Bahamas & east coast of the US next week. But there is still some uncertainty as to whether or not it will head towards the US or make a turn to the north. Regardless, dangerous surf & strong rip currents are likely for parts of the US east coast beginning Sunday. Tropical Storm Margot in the eastern Atlantic is still expected to become a hurricane early next week but should turn north and not impact land.

FOX 26 Saturday morning weather forecast
After a healthy dose of beneficial rain, albeit a loud one Saturday morning - isolated rain/storms may return this afternoon. Most are heat alert free today, though a Heat Advisory is in effect for our western counties that did not see rain. Next week starts mostly dry, but thankfully less hot. A summer cool front will boost rain chances and decrease temperatures midweek. With the peak of Hurricane Season tomorrow, we have no local concerns but continue to watch Lee and Margot in the Atlantic.
