BEACHES

A bit more sunshine today, but with more scattered afternoon storms. Stay weather aware this afternoon/evening for AM + PM storms containing lightning. Rain chances peak around 60%. There is a high rip current risk at all east coast beaches through this weekend. Surf is in the 2-4' range in a mix of swell coming from Hurricane Fiona. 

THEME PARKS

Humid again with partly to partly cloudy skies. Stay hydrated and take breaks inside the a/c. Best chance for rain between 3pm-8pm. Heavy rain and lightning will be likely, lightning remains a threat as well.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK

The wet weather pattern continues through at least Tuesday. A northeast wind could bring drier weather by mid week with Fiona in the western Atlantic. Rain chances will fall to 20% or less by midweek and into next weekend.

TROPICS:

Hurricane Fiona made a second landfall on the southeast side of the Dominican Republic earlier this morning. Fiona is still a cat. 1 hurricane but, intensification is likely as the storm tracks North away from the Islands. Fiona is forecast to become a Cat. 3 major hurricane through midweek.

 The Island of Bermuda should be watching closely. Rain is a huge threat as tropical downpours soak Puerto Rico and The Dominican Republic. Rain amounts in Puerto Rico could exceed  two feet when it's all said and done.
