WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A summertime pattern is shaping up this week with plenty of heat and humidity and a chance of rain each day.

Some of the storms could be strong with hail, strong winds, and torrential downpours in spots.

High temps Monday will peak in the upper 80s with the heat index in the 90s.

A pool of cooler air aloft sitting on top of us with daytime heating leading to instability - another round of storms similar to what we saw Sunday is likely.

Indications are that high pressure will build in by midweek with smaller rain chances and hot weather from Tuesday through Thursday before the rain /storm chance goes up again by the end of the week.

** A Coastal Flood Watch is in effect for Palm Beach County, Indian River, St. Lucie, and Martin Counties due to astronomically high tides caused by a full moon. **

Minor flooding of canals, inlets, and the Intracoastal is possible as well as overtopping of docks from tonight through 12 AM Wednesday
