The tropics have been quiet and are expected to remain so into early September, although there is a low possibility of development of something in the eastern Gulf or off the Southeast coast, according to AccuWeather forecasters.
Much of Florida could see some storms affecting any outdoor plans over the weekend as slightly cooler temperatures arrive. Don’t expect temperatures to drop by much and most of the change will be limited to North Florida.
Several counties in Southeast Florida were under heat advisories Wednesday, Aug. 27, with a heat index up to 108 expected in Broward and Miami-Dade counties.
Here’s what you should know.
Tropics expected to remain quiet for Labor Day weekend
“It’s possible that we do not have a named storm on Labor Day again this year,” said AccuWeather Lead Hurricane Expert Alex DaSilva via email Aug. 26.
“If so, that would make it two years in a row. The last time that has happened (two years in a row of no named storm in the Atlantic Basin on Labor Day) was 1991 and 1992.”
There is a low risk for development in the eastern Gulf or off the Southeast coast from Aug. 29 to Sept 1. An unusually strong dip in the jet stream is forecast move into the Southeast during the holiday weekend, potentially kicking off a rare mid-season homegrown storm,” DaSilva said.
“Regardless of development, a wet pattern looks to be in place for the holiday weekend across portions of the Southeast.”
Did someone say cold front? Are cooler temps coming to (some parts of) Florida?
Low temperatures expected across Florida Saturday night, early Sunday morning Aug. 31, 2025.
“It looks like this weekend could be cooler as a strong cold front moves across the Southeast. In fact, much of the eastern half of the country will see temperatures several degrees below average. While this cold front will bring rain and storms to Florida for the holiday weekend. It will also bring temperatures down several degrees, especially in northern Florida,” DaSilva said.
Temperatures in the Panhandle will be several degrees below historical averages over the holiday weekend while temperatures in Miami are expected to be near average for this time of year, according to AccuWeather.
“As far as high temperatures go, I think we are mostly done with any prolonged periods of extreme heat after the cold front passes this weekend,” DaSilva said.
“There can still be times where the temperatures climb above average, but I think for most of the state, temperatures will be near to maybe a degree or two above average. Temperatures of 90-91 are still considered to be “near the historical average” across most of Florida for the first two weeks of September.
“I think 90s will still be likely, but mid 90s will be much harder in most areas. Portions of South Florida are currently in a drought, which can allow temperatures to be a little higher in those areas.”
