As the Atlantic and Gulf coast sea-breeze begin to pick up, so
will the chances for rain and isolated storms today and into the
evening. PWAT values continue to increase from 1.3" to 1.5"
bringing ample moisture to the area. Showers will begin to pop up
along the Sea-breeze boundaries as they make their way inland,
increasing in chances as daytime heating and sea-breezes converge
inland. Severe weather is highly unlikely, with no upper level
support and dry air aloft. Temperatures will reach into the upper
80s inland, staying in the low to mid 80s along the coast.
Overnight lows will be in the low to mid 60s with chances of
patchy to widespread fog possible in the early morning hours.
