Monday will be yet another warm and dry day, with sun, clouds, and highs in the mid to upper 80s.

Moisture will start to work its way into the area on Tuesday, so a few passing showers are possible. Tuesday’s highs will be in the mid 80s. Shower chances increase on Wednesday and Thursday, and a few afternoon storms are possible, especially inland. Highs both days will be in the mid 80s.

Stormier weather will be in place through mid week as a frontal boundary approaches the region. Here’s a look at the upcoming week across South Florida.
