The good news is the wet weather is not here to stay this time around.

Thursday and Friday will be partly sunny with only isolated, brief showers but it will be pretty hot with highs in the upper 80s to near 90 degrees, cooler at the beaches.

In the tropics, Gordon’s remnants are over the Eastern Atlantic & may re-generate by the weekend but will stay far out to sea.
