Our mornings will start off mostly sunny and dry with a typical summertime pattern in place through the rest of the week. Afternoon clouds will mix in with our sunshine today, with a few showers and storms developing along the seabreeze during peak heating. Most of the storm activity will be just to the east of I-75, however one or two of those could eventually make their way closer to the coast.
Temperatures will quickly climb into the lower to middle 90s, but it will feel much hotter as heat index values will be well over 100°, especially across our inland communities.
Tonight, skies will go mostly clear and it will be another humid overnight period as lows settle into the middle 70s.
Afternoon showers and storms will remain in the forecast with a slight up tick in the moisture by the end of the weekend and into next week. This will also keep temperatures slightly lower, as they top out in the lower 90s with increased cloud cover.
In the tropics, the remnants of what was tropical depression #7 continues to be a rainmaker across the Central America. Elsewhere, an area of disturbed weather 750 miles to the southeast of Bermuda is showing signs of better organization. Good news though, most of the models want to keep this system out in the open waters of the Atlantic.
