The typical summertime thunderstorm pattern will continue throughout the state as scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms will develop with daytime heating and the daily sea breeze (55-80% chance of rain).
Onshore winds are already bringing isolated showers and thunderstorms onshore along the Panhandle and Gulf Coast, and these will continue to become more widespread with daytime heating.
The Gulf and Atlantic sea breeze boundaries will move inland and collide with one another keeping the greatest shower and thunderstorm coverage along the western Peninsula.
Saharan Dry Air will linger along East-Central and Southeast Florida today limiting widespread shower and thunderstorm activity; however, isolated showers and embedded thunderstorms will be possible.
Embedded strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible during the peak heating hours of the day – lightning, gusty winds and torrential downpours will be possible within.
Instances of nuisance and localized flooding will also be possible with torrential downpours or slow-moving thunderstorms.
High temperatures will reach the upper 80s to lower 90s throughout the state, with heat index values reaching the upper 90s to triple digits (100-104-degrees) this afternoon.
Shower and thunderstorm activity will generally move offshore and dissipate late this evening, but a few showers or embedded thunderstorms may linger near the Gulf Coast overnight (30-55% chance of rain).
Low temperatures will remain in the 70s across the state and lower 80s across the Keys.
A moderate risk for rip currents will persist along Gulf and Atlantic Coast beaches.
