Storms have pushed to the east coast and rain has dropped off.  A pop up shower is possible into the early evening.  Bucs game should be dry and muggy. Storms will be around this weekend as they move inland by the afternoon.

There will finally be a change in the pattern by Tuesday of next week as winds turn back to the SE which is typical for our rainy season.  That means we see storms from inland first then drift back toward the coast later in the day.  Highs will remain warm in the low 90s with rain chances 40%.

Today:  Partly cloudy skies with a few scattered showers and storms this morning, followed by better rain chances lunchtime on.  Winds will be WSW 10 mph with highs in the low 90s.

Tonight: a few showers and storms 20% will push across the area after midnight.  Winds will be calm with lows in the mid to upper 70s.

Marine Forecast: SW-W winds 10 kts with seas 2'.  Water temperature in the upper 80s to near 90.
