Still a chance of showers on Monday with mostly cloudy skies along with continued high humidity.
Tuesday a weak area of high pressure will build into our area and we should stay dry but humid with partly sunny skies.
Another stronger frontal system will likely give us more showers on Wednesday with the rain possibly heavy at times.
Finally cooler and much less humid with mostly sunny skies Thursday through at least the start of the next weekend.
Hurricane Lee has top winds of 105 mph and is still expected to remain well offshore from our area but building seas and dangerous rip currents are likely beginning on Tuesday and last much of rest of the week.
