Continued hot and very humid today as the Bermuda high pressure give us a southwesterly flow. A weak disturbance will give us a chance of showers and thunderstorms this afternoon becoming more likely at night.
Saturday we will continue the hot and humid weather with a chance of afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms.
Sunday and Monday look to be dry and still hot, but a little less humid as we will have more of a westerly flow around the high pressure ridge offshore.
A cold front will cross the area Tuesday evening. It will remain hot and humid and we will have a chance of more showers and thunderstorms as the front comes through.
Not as hot or humid Wednesday and Thursday but there will still be a chance of afternoon showers both days.
