Looking at the maps this morning, expect scattered storms in the afternoon and early evening. This may impact some of the same spots that picked up a fair bit of rain last night, too. Aside from that, it will be hot and humid, with heat indices in the triple digits. Again.
The Experienced Temperatures may not look quite as hot given the extra clouds here and there as well as a bit of a breeze. All that said, a Heat Advisory is in place for parts of the area.
Teh heat will be with us through most of the week with temperatures in the upper 90s and heat indices between 105-115 degrees. There will be isolated to scattered rain to help give us some relief in the afternoon.
By late this week and through the weekend, more showers and storms will bring cooler, more seasonable temperatures, with a chance of flash flooding along the coast.
Looking out a bit further in time, both the operational GFS and ECMWF are pointing toward an area of loosely organized disturbed weather near the Keys by later next week. The steering current at that time would be to plop it into the Gulf. So, this is worth monitoring for the next few days to get a better handle on what may shake out.
My current level of concern is near zero. But it is always good to keep tabs on things when they pop up on both models.
