Temperatures will bottom out on the comfortable but humid the upper 60s for Tuesday morning.
Tuesday promises more clouds than sun with scattered afternoon and early evening storms. Highs Tuesday should be limited to the upper 80s.
Models continue to suggest that rain chances should be lower for our Tuesday, but for now we'll maintain rain chances near 50-60%...but they could go lower if models remain consistent.
Scattered afternoon storms will stay with us mid-week into the weekend with chance of storms decreasing closer to the 30-40% toward the end of the week, and near 20-30% into the weekend as high pressure ridging aloft begins to influence our atmosphere, capping some of the rain activity.
The ridge is expected to amplify next week, allowing for drier and consequently hotter conditions.
Daytime highs this week will continue in the upper 80s to lower 90s but may start to push the mid-90s by this weekend, if not, into early next week.

The tropics remain quiet in the Gulf, the Caribbean and Western Atlantic with no threats expected over the next week plus.
