Slight Chance of Showers/Storms Tonight

Tropical Weather Outlook

A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms will continue tonight, with chances increasing Tuesday. Tuesday night through Thursday look to be the more active periods, but shower/storm chances will remain elevated through the weekend.

Tropical Weather Outlook issued at 2 AM Monday, August 24th, 2026. The National Hurricane Center is monitoring two systems, one of which is in the Eastern Tropical Atlantic. For this system, a tropical wave is expected to move off the west coast of Africa later today, and an area of low pressure could form in association with the wave early this week. Environmental conditions are forecast to be marginally conducive for development, and a tropical depression could form in the middle to latter portions of the week while the system moves generally westward at 15 to 20 mph across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic. Formation chance through the next 7 days is medium, 50%. Both systems are no threat to the Florida Keys at this time.
