WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Hot and mainly dry weather continues on Monday with just a 20% chance of a few showers near the coast and some late day inland storms.

The tropics are becoming increasingly active as another wave that just pushed off the coast of Africa has a 20% chance of development.

Tropical Storm Earl has winds of 50 mph and will pass just north of the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico and is forecasted to stay just southeast of Bermuda later in the week.

Hurricane Danielle over the north Atlantic with winds of 90 mph is no threat to land.

High pressure off the east coast will keep it drier than normal for late summer so rain chances will only be in the 20%-30% range through midweek.

Low pressure (non-tropical) is expected to form over the northern Gulf of Mexico later this week and that will turn our flow into the south allowing a surge of Caribbean moisture to roll in.

Rain/storm chances go up toward the end of the week into next weekend.
