THE RAIN HELD ON AFTER SUNSET.
HERE'S A LIVE LOOK AT WHERE THE SHOWERS ARE RIGHT NOW.
NBC 2 SENIOR CHIEF METEOROLOGIST ROBERT VAN WINKLE JOINS US WITH A LOOK AT WHAT TO EXPECT OVERNIGHT.
Return to index of stories...
THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.
IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.
RAIN CONTINUES THROUGH MIDWEEK
An onshore flow will remain in place Tuesday, which often means locations closer to the beaches and the urban corridor see the best rain chances earlier in the day while locations deeper inland stand the best chance of getting hit by a storm during the afternoon and evening.
Partly cloudy skies will be the rule for Tuesday, too. The added sun will allow temperatures to be around our average of 92.
Thunderstorms will be diminishing somewhat by mid week as a ridge of high pressure build over Southwest Florida. Another result of this ridge will be higher temperatures, and we very well could see a heat index between 100-105 by Thursday and Friday.
By the upcoming weekend, temperatures won't be quite as oppressive, and we'll see a return of our typical afternoon thunderstorm pattern.
Right now the tropics are quiet!
