Passing Showers

Passing ShowersSouth Florida will feel the summertime sizzle on Sunday, with just a few showers to damp down the heat temporarily. After another very warm start, Sunday will see some passing showers in spots, followed by a mix of sun and clouds. The sea breeze will be strong enough to push any storm activity well inland. Highs on Sunday will be in the sweltering low 90s.

Passing ShowersMonday features another sticky start with an early shower in spots. Then we’ll see a mix of hot sun and some clouds, with a strong enough sea breeze to limit afternoon storms to far inland locations. Monday’s highs will be in the low 90s.

Look for more of the same on the Fourth of July — a warm start, a few early showers, plenty of hot sun, and just the chance of an afternoon storm well inland. Highs on Tuesday will be in the low 90s.

Rain chances increase a bit on Wednesday, so some early showers will be followed by a few afternoon storms, especially in the western suburbs. Wednesday’s highs will be in the low 90s.

Thursday features an early coastal shower, a mix of sun and clouds, and a few afternoon storms around. Thursday’s highs will be in the low 90s again.

Passing ShowersIn the tropics, we’re watching a wave in the central Atlantic moving generally westward. The National Hurricane Center gives it a medium chance of developing into a depression during the next 5 days.
