Early Showers, Sticky Afternoon

­­­­­­­­By Donna Thomas, SouthFloridaReporter.com Meteorologist, July 9, 2015 – South Florida will see some early showers and a sticky mostly rain-free afternoon again on Thursday. Look for some heavy showers in the Keys, quick showers on the mainland, and afternoon highs in the sticky low 90s.

The forecast is the same for Friday, with a few showers and morning “lows” near 80 degrees, then highs in the low 90s.

Saturday and Sunday will be mostly rain-free, with a few clouds and sweltering highs in the low 90s. Rain chances will increase next week, with some afternoon storms and highs in the low 90s on Monday.

Tuesday could be on the wet side, with passing showers and storm along with plenty of clouds and highs in the upper 80s.
