GENERAL OUTLOOK
Hot and dry high pressure will continue to dominate the Southeast again today. A weak, dry front will push in from the north tonight, bringing only temporary slightly cooler temperatures for Wednesday. The big high to our west will make one more eastward push into our region late in the week, with hot temperatures again Friday, before a pattern change brings a stronger cold front across the area on Saturday night or Sunday to finally cool us down below normal for early next week.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 AM EDT Tue Aug 22 2023
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical Storm Franklin, located over the east-central Caribbean Sea, on Tropical Depression Gert, located a few hundred miles east-southeast of the northern Leeward Islands, and on recently upgraded Tropical Storm Harold, located over the western Gulf of Mexico.
1. Eastern Tropical Atlantic (AL92):
Disorganized showers and thunderstorms located a few hundred miles west of the Cabo Verde Islands are associated with a tropical wave. Environmental conditions appear generally conducive for gradual development of this system, and a tropical depression could form later this week while it moves west-northwestward across the eastern tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...60 percent.
2. Central Tropical Atlantic:
The remnants of former Tropical Storm Emily are located over the central tropical Atlantic several hundred miles east-northeast of the Leeward Islands with limited associated shower activity. Environmental conditions could become more conducive for re-development of this system late this week or this weekend when the system moves northward over the subtropical central Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.
