United States: forecasters in Casper, Mobile, Albuquerque, West Palm Beach and Clarksville issued weekend and early-week forecasts on Sunday indicating warm, mostly dry conditions under high pressure, followed by approaching frontal systems. Meteorologists reported highs near 72°F in Casper, mid- to upper-70s along the Gulf Coast, and 70s in Albuquerque, with fronts bringing increased moisture late Sunday into early next week. This shift will produce isolated afternoon showers Sunday in higher elevations and increasing rain chances Monday and Tuesday as storm systems progress; West Palm Beach saw scattered storms with a low flood risk Sunday, while Gulf Coast boating conditions were described as hazardous overnight. Forecasters expect cooler air early next week with temperatures generally rebounding toward midweek.
