Afternoon Storms Again

Tuesday morning features good sun in western portions of South Florida and a mix of sun and clouds to the east.  But showers and storms will be back, starting at midday along the Gulf coast and in mid afternoon in the east coast metro area.  Some storms will linger into the evening.  Expect a moderate risk of dangerous rip currents to continue at the Atlantic beaches.  Highs on Tuesday will be in the upper 80s.
