An abundance of tropical moisture which arrived over the weekend and hung on today will gradually give way to some drier air by Wednesday. For the balance of this evening I expect a few more downpours and thunderstorms to wash in from the Gulf of Mexico on the southwest wind we have in place. It looks reasonable to expect passing showers or a storm through midnight. Temperatures will not drop off too much tonight and we will stay in the upper 70's by tomorrow morning with high humidity.
The forecast for tomorrow calls for a few showers in the morning and midday with gradually improving weather by late day. Our high temperatures will hit the low 90's tomorrow afternoon as more sunshine prevails. It's possible that a few inland thunderstorms will pop up on Tuesday afternoon and drift inland toward Lake Okeechobee.
On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday I expect hot weather and mainly quiet afternoons. The chance for a thunderstorm will drop to 20% or less for these days. High temperatures for the week will continue to climb into the lower 90's and hit the middle 90's by the end of the week.
