Clouds will slowly increase throughout the morning, but no weather impacts are expected. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"figure-img img-fluid mx-auto d-block\" alt=\"Hot this afternoon with showers and storms becoming likely.\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/7K3QK2KMWFBYTIQQMCKJBX3RUU.png\" width=\"980\" height=\"551\" \/>Hot this afternoon with showers and storms becoming likely.(WCTV)<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Storms are expected this afternoon for MUCH of the area. Some coastal communities may dodge the rain, but the remainder of the area has a good chance at seeing rain and thunderstorms, mainly after 1 p.m.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"figure-img img-fluid mx-auto d-block\" alt=\"Rain and storms become likely on Sunday after 1 p.m.\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Z4IJQCGSINB7BKQ2QIYV4U5GTM.png\" width=\"980\" height=\"551\" \/>Rain and storms become likely on Sunday after 1 p.m.(WCTV)A few gusty storms<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Some storms may be strong that could down tree branches or limbs from downburst or microburst winds, which we have seen the last few days. Damage can come quickly and unexpectedly, even before a warning is issued. Be sure you are staying weather aware today if you are spending your Sunday outside or traveling at all. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"figure-img img-fluid mx-auto d-block\" alt=\"Strong to severe storms are possible on Sunday and Monday afternoon.

Gusty winds are the main concern.(WCTV)<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">For those heading to the coast, this morning is just fine to get the small crafts out, winds out of the west around 5 to 10 knots, climbing to 15 knots this afternoon. Waves 2 feet or less. Partly sunny skies with afternoon showers and storms.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"figure-img img-fluid mx-auto d-block\" alt=\"Not the best day to hit the waters with showers and storms late morning and into the afternoon.\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/DOJE3YVGZFHR5K4I67A52MPSYU.png\" width=\"980\" height=\"551\" \/>Not the best day to hit the waters with showers and storms late morning and into the afternoon.(WCTV)Staying active to start the week<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The weather pattern will stay pretty active through Tuesday. The reason storm coverage is higher today through early next week is this front and associated upper low. The front adds as an extra boost for the sea breeze during the afternoon, so rain coverage will be higher until the low exits the region late Tuesday or Early Wednesday. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"figure-img img-fluid mx-auto d-block\" alt=\"Showers and storms will continue for the start of your workweek.\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ZAYJ7OPXPJFV7E5QDWKSDYPIQ4.png\" width=\"980\" height=\"551\" \/>Showers and storms will continue for the start of your workweek.(WCTV)<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">More rain and more clouds means lower temperatures. Highs in the mid to upper 80s on Monday and Tuesday. Back into the 90s Wednesday and beyond as sun returns, but we keep the afternoon shower chances around. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">To stay updated on all the latest forecasts and weather, follow WCTV First Alert Weather on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" target=\"_blank\">X<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" target=\"_blank\"> (<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" target=\"_blank\">)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wctv.tv\/weather\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.wctv.tv\/weather\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> to see all the latest weather headlines and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wctv.tv\/weather\/radar\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.wctv.tv\/weather\/radar\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> to view the First Alert Radar.
