FORECAST: Brief downpours possible as temperatures reach the mid-80s

FORECAST:

A few scattered showers are popping up early this morning, mainly across our northern and western counties.
These will expand and move toward the metro around midday and could last well into the afternoon.
We can expect mostly just garden variety rains, but some brief stronger downpours are possible.
Highs will be in the mid-80s, and drier weather returns quickly for Wednesday and Thursday with some lower humidity.
Another system arrives late Friday into Saturday, which will increase the chance of rain once again.
We are not expecting a washout for the weekend by any stretch. The dryer pattern should come back in by Sunday.

TRACKING THE TROPICS:

We have tropical storm Ernesto this morning heading toward the eastern Caribbean.
This will likely become a hurricane later this week and turn north toward Bermuda.
No impacts to the U.S. other than rough waves and rip currents along the East Coast.
