By the afternoon, temperatures will climb into the low-to-mid 90s across the area, with mostly sunny skies. How hot you get is all dependent on when and where showers set up. Isolated showers will begin to bubble up by 3pm, and areas south of the I-10 corridor have a greater chance of seeing rain. Overnight the same pattern set-ups and we will do it all over again for Friday.

In the Tropics:

Tropical Storm Bret continues to gradually strengthen about 200 miles east of Barbados. The storm is moving west at 15mph with maximum sustained winds of 70mph. Bret should remain steady in intensity and speed as it brushes over the Lesser Antilles on Thursday followed by weakening and eventual dissipation over the Caribbean Sea this weekend in the face of harsh wind shear.

In the eastern Atlantic, Tropical Depression Four formed with the 4am advisory. The storm is moving west at 12mph with maximum sustained winds at 35mph. Tropical Depression Four is expected to intensify into a Tropical Storm by tomorrow morning and will take the C name on the 2023 Hurricane list, Cindy.
