Stormy Sunday For Florida; Watching The Tropics

Sunday features a mix of sun and clouds with periods of showers and passing storms. Look for mostly morning showers and storms on a brisk breeze in the east coast metro area, while the Gulf coast will see most of the activity in the mid to late afternoon.   A high risk of dangerous rip currents is in place at the Atlantic beaches now through at least Monday evening.  Highs on Sunday will be in the upper 80s close to the Atlantic coast and in the low 90s elsewhere in South Florida.
