Sun With Periods Of Storms Today Around Florida

Monday features good sun and some clouds, with periods of showers and storms.  While the showers will start in the morning near the Atlantic coast, much of the activity will be along the Gulf coast during the mid-afternoon into the evening.  Look for a brisk ocean breeze, which will be gusty near the Atlantic coast.  A high risk of dangerous rip currents remains at the Atlantic beaches through at least Monday evening.  Highs on Monday will be in the upper 80s right at the Atlantic coast and in the low 90s elsewhere.
