Similar conditions to yesterday can be expected as an expansive areas of high pressure over the eastern U.S. dominates.
The Atlantic sea breeze will continue to out win the Gulf sea breeze leading to the greatest rain chances across West and South Florida later in the day.
Slightly drier conditions will continue to lead to isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon hours along the sea breeze (20-60% chance of rain).
A brief strong thunderstorm or two cannot be ruled out along the sea breeze collisions bringing frequent lightning, gusty winds and heavy downpours locally.
Hot conditions can be expected this afternoon with high temperatures will into the 90s, with portions of the Florida Panhandle reaching the 100-degree mark.
Feels-like temperatures will reach the upper 90s along the East Coast with the help of onshore winds, while the rest of the state can anticipate values in the triple digits (100-108-degrees).
Areas locally along the Panhandle could see a brief Heat Advisory or two this afternoon, if conditions warrant.
Showers and thunderstorms will dissipate from east to west late in the evening hours before mostly dry conditions return overnight.
A few brief showers may linger along the Atlantic Coast overnight with the nearby Gulf Stream (15-30% chance of rain).
Low temperatures will remain in the middle to upper 70s and lower 80s which may give way to little relief from daytime heat and humidity.
East Coast beaches will continue to see a moderate to high risk for rip currents with brisk onshore winds. Panhandle beaches can expect a moderate risk for rip currents.
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has decreased chances (medium-50%) for Invest 90L over the central subtropical Atlantic as a small area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms have redeveloped on the north-side of the low pressure located about 700 miles east-northeast of Bermuda. Environmental conditions are marginally favorable, and further resurgence of the thunderstorm activity could still result in the formation of a short-lived tropical depression or storm. By later today, the low is expected to encounter more hostile environmental conditions, ending its opportunity for development. The system is forecast to move northeastward at 15-20 mph while remaining over the central Atlantic. This system poses no threat to Florida.
