Early Showers, Mostly Inland Storms

­­­­­­­­By Donna Thomas, SouthFloridaReporter Meteorologist, June 8, 2015 – South Florida will see a few early showers on Monday, and then some afternoon storms could pop up in some locations. Sun and clouds and highs in the upper 80s are also in the forecast for Monday. More showers and some afternoon storms will be around on Tuesday, and highs will reach the mid to upper 80s. Afternoon storms will develop on Wednesday, but drier air is on the way. Wednesday’s highs will be in the mid to upper 80s. Storm chances will drop on Thursday, and afternoon temperatures will be in the upper 80s. Some Saharan dust is forecast to move over our area on Friday, so look for hot sun and haze, along with highs in the upper 80s.
