A warming trend begins Friday with an increasing breeze off the Atlantic through the weekend.  Highs will reach the mid to upper 70s – still several degrees below average. Brief showers will move inland off the ocean but rainfall amounts will not be significant with low overall coverage of rain.

In the tropics, there are two areas to track: (1) weak tropical wave is over the Central Atlantic & will be near the Greater Antilles by the weekend with some wind & rain squalls for Puerto Rico & Hispaniola but significant development is unlikely. (2) A disturbance over the SW & Western Caribbean will bring heavy rain to Central America while moving inland over the next few days but significant development is unlikely.
