Saturday should be a repeat of Friday with a mild start and a warm afternoon under sunny skies. Clouds will returning Saturday night as a weak upper level low moves closer to us. This low will move over the area Sunday and bring mostly cloudy skies and a chance of a light shower - mainly in the morning. Gulf of Mexico moisture moving back in late Sunday will keep our skies mostly cloudy for Sunday night and Monday.
The next weather maker will be a cold front moving in late Monday night. This will keep us cloudy and there should be a few light showers for Monday night and early Tuesday morning. Skies should clear Tuesday afternoon and stay fair into Thursday. Temperatures will be cooler Tuesday through Thursday, but not cold.
In the tropics, Ida is back up to a tropical storm as the center of circulation is back over the warm waters of the western Caribbean Sea. She is still forecast to move up into the south central Gulf of Mexico as a tropical storm early Monday. However, the same weather system that is driving the cold front into our area late Monday will cause Ida to change into a non-tropical low pressure system before moving over Florida Thursday. However, she still may have sustained winds around 40-50 mph.
