Good morning! Some high clouds are moving in from the Gulf this morning and will be in the sky from time to time over the next day or two. Otherwise, today's one last "repeat performance" of the weather we've seen all week long with relatively comfortable humidity, a steady east breeze, and highs near 90 back to the coast (mid 80's along the Lake with the breeze off of the water). The humidity increases tomorrow and we'll see a few more clouds; although some of our models are trying to put out some small chances of rain along the coast tomorrow, I'm leaving the forecast dry for now. Not so on Sunday though!
As high pressure weakens, an upper level disturbance moves across the Gulf, and some tropical moisture moves through the Florida Straits, our rain chances increase into Sunday afternoon. I think we'll see mainly a few coastal showers and storms on Sunday, although some of the models are now really increasing the chance of rain such that just about all coastal areas see rain on Sunday (new models are just coming in.. I'll have an update on this later!). Much wetter on Monday with morning and afternoon storms likely.. the rain and clouds will hold temperatures back into the mid 80's. Slightly drier Tuesday and much drier by Wednesday with only a few inland storms possible. The chance of rain should be gone by Thursday!
