Diverse U.S. Weather Patterns and Caribbean Monitoring

In the Midwest, a shift from cool temperatures in the low 60s to near-record highs around 80 degrees is expected due to strong southerly winds, with fire risks elevated due to dry conditions. Central Florida will experience a partly cloudy day with temperatures peaking at 82 degrees, while Maine and Southern New Hampshire face elevated fire risks due to dry air and strong winds. In Myrtle Beach, cool and cloudy weather persists with temperatures in the low 60s, though coastal areas may reach 70 degrees; the fire risk remains due to dry conditions. San Antonio, Texas, is nearing record temperatures of 90 degrees with potential rain by Halloween as a cold front approaches. The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a low development risk in the Caribbean, although tropical activity is quiet overall.
