WEATHER-CLIP

WEATHER-PWC

LESS RAIN, MORE SUN AHEAD

The sunshine feels really nice after the weekend we just had. Good news - there's going to be a lot more of it this week!

High pressure is beginning to build over Florida. When this happens we typically see very benign weather, and that's exactly what is coming our way.

As it settles over, the skies will clear, we'll see less rain, and more sunshine. Oh, and I forgot to mention… Warmer temperatures!

Highs will be in the mid 90s. Of course when one factors in the humidity it'll feel 100+.

The rain will be our only way too cool down. We do expect heavy downpours and storms, but they will be very isolated. What we are calling for is the return of normal August weather. That means isolated, hit or miss, type storms along the sea breeze pushing inland during the afternoon.

This pattern will last for the next 7 days!
