Along the front, the weekend will have elevated rain chances; odds should trend down in the new week unless one of the tropical systems manages to sneak close. High and low temperatures ought to drop ten degrees by then, in any case.
Humberto’s one systems we’ll be tracking in the next several days; it’ll be in a unique position to affect / direct another tropical system that’ll try to get going near the Bahamas.
