High pressure over Atlantic waters is helping to direct deep moisture over Florida, Spectrum News 13 meteorologist Zach Covey said.
Once ocean breezes reach the coast this afternoon, showers and storms will develop, Covey said. Due to the daytime heat and unstable atmosphere, some of these showers and storms can regularly produce lightning, winds of up to 40 miles per hour, and heavy downpours.
Up to 1 to 3 inches of rain could fall in several areas today, Covey said. The chances of rain are 70%.
The high today will be 92 degrees and the low will be 76 degrees.
