WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — With tropical moisture moving into South Florida, Scattered rain chances are expected each day through early next week. However, these are not expected to be total all-day washouts.

The highest coverage of showers and storms will develop during the afternoon and evening hours, driven by sea breeze collisions closer to the east coast, before eventually moving offshore.

Any afternoon storms that develop will bring risks of frequent lightning and gusty winds around 40mph. Besides thunderstorms, the overall winds will mellow since we no longer have the strong onshore flow.

Isolated totals of 3+ inches are entirely possible, especially in areas that experience multiple rounds of storms.

On a positive note, these widespread accumulations will actually be beneficial due to ongoing regional drought conditions.

Temperatures will remain pretty hot, around 90 degrees, and of course, it will feel hotter with the muggy conditions. Temperatures will cool a little next week with highs in the mid-upper 80s.
