Wednesday’s forecast calls for a mix of sun, showers, and storms.  Highs on Wednesday will be in the low 90s.

In the tropics, a non-tropical low off the northern Florida coast has a medium chance of developing into a depression during the next 5 days.  We’ll keep a close eye on it.  Regardless of development, it will increase our rain chances for much of next week.
