Highs will be in the lower 90s early next week, with some cooler air arriving later in the week.
The tropical disturbance we have been watching is now over Cuba, and has been upgraded to Potential Tropical Cyclone Four. This step occurs before it officially becomes a tropical storm, so that the National Hurricane Center can issue watches, warnings and a forecast track.
PTC 4 should strengthen into Tropical Storm Debby in the next 24 hours. The forecast path takes it near Key West, Florida, and then curves in northwestward to west of Tampa, then towards Jacksonville. It should then move off the coasts of South Carolina and far southern North Carolina Tuesday into Wednesday.
For local impacts, this may increase our chances of rain mid and late week. More information can be found in the CBS 6 Hurricane Tracker.
