Good morning! We’re waking up to a warm and muggy start across the area, with mostly quiet conditions expected through the first part of the morning. Temperatures will rise quickly once the sun gets higher, setting the stage for another hot and humid day. Afternoon highs are expected to climb into the upper 80s to low 90s, with the combination of heat and humidity making it feel even warmer at times.
We’ll see a mix of sunshine and clouds through the morning, but the weather picture will become more active later today as the sea breeze develops. That boundary will help trigger scattered showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon, with storm coverage likely increasing into the evening hours. While most locations will not see severe weather, a few stronger storms could produce brief periods of heavy rain, frequent lightning, and gusty winds.
Drivers should be prepared for changing conditions, particularly during the afternoon and evening commute. Downpours could develop quickly and may lead to temporarily reduced visibility and ponding of water on roadways. Remember, if you encounter a flooded roadway, never attempt to drive through it, and be prepared for sudden lightning and strong wind gusts near thunderstorms.
Along the beaches, temperatures will remain warm, making for another popular day along the coast. However, an elevated risk for rip currents remains, so swimmers and beachgoers should use extra caution. Stay near a lifeguarded area when possible, pay attention to beach flags and local advisories, and avoid entering the water if conditions become dangerous.
As we look toward the tropics, things remain quiet across the basin for now. There are no immediate concerns, but we’ll continue to monitor the tropics closely as we move through the peak portion of hurricane season. For today, the main weather story remains the combination of heat, humidity, and increasing afternoon and evening storm chances.
