More July Heat For Florida

Friday features lots of hot sun, clouds at times, and a few afternoon showers and storms in the interior and in the east coast metro area as the sea breeze develops.  Since any storms that form will move slowly, heavy rain is possible in spots.  Highs on Friday will be in the mid 90s — but it will feel like the triple digits again.
