With little to no rain in the forecast, it's a great weekend to head to the beach, but be sure to pack sunscreen, as there will be limited cloud cover, and extreme UV.
Good news from the tropics
Invest 94L will not develop into anything "tropical" over the next week. High wind shear and Saharan Dust in the Central Tropical Atlantic have shredded apart these thunderstorms trying to organize in the Atlantic. The tropics remains quiet for this weekend and there is nothing to worry about in the Gulf! 
Though the Atlantic Basin remains quiet for now, we will continue to see more tropical waves emerge off the coast of Africa over the coming weeks as we continue through the most active month of hurricane season and approach the peak of Hurricane season in September.
