BAHAMAS — Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine, forecast to become Tropical Storm Imelda, was on track to remain east of South Florida this weekend.
The forecast path shows the system moving northwestward over the Bahamas, Saturday into Sunday, and bringing heavy rain and tropical storm conditions -- with winds of about 40 to 50 mph.
In South Florida, there were partly cloudy skies and light winds.
Saturday brings a sun/cloud mix and north-northeast winds, 5 to 10 mph with gusts around 15 mph. Scattered showers and storms will be possible, especially during the afternoon.
Sunday, “future” Imelda, likely will be in the vicinity of the northwest Bahamas. A rainband on the outer fringes of the system could reach South Florida and bring a burst of showers and gusty winds. Generally, plan for winds 5 to 15 mph with gusts 20 to 25 mph.
Indeed, it will be a hot, humid weekend with temperatures forecast to reach the low 90s. The drier air is set to reach South Florida on Monday.
