Brian: A few storms this afternoon, then a pretty hot/dry week ahead!

Good morning! Showers and storms are moving away from our coast this morning and out into the open waters of the Gulf. We'll start the day with a mostly sunny sky and finish it partly to mostly cloudy as showers and storms develop again later this afternoon. Once we get through this afternoon, though, a strong area of high pressure builds over much of the southern tier of the country keeping our weather hotter and drier than average for mid to late July. Later this week, we'll be watching a tropical wave that right now is affecting the islands of the northeast Caribbean. Right now, upper level wind is not favorable for development. Later in the week though, as the wave approaches the Bahamas, it is possible that upper level wind will become more favorable and the system will bear watching. Either way, I expect the chance of rain to move upward as we approach the weekend.
 
Much more on your forecast coming up on WINK starting at 5. Have a great Monday!
