A big warm-up is in store for next week as a ridge of high pressure shifts to the east with high temperatures back near 90 degrees and little to no rain chances.

Checking on the Tropics: Tropical Depression Seven has formed in the south Atlantic Ocean east of the Leeward Islands and is headed westward. This system is forecasted to become Tropical Storm Fiona by the end of today or early tomorrow. This will likely bring heavy rain to the Leeward islands including the Virgin Islands over the weekend.
