While high heat and humidity will remain dominant features, storms are beginning to steal some of the spotlight. Occasional downpours will be a possibility moving forward.

Tonight & Tomorrow: While much of the overnight stretch will be dry with partly to mostly cloudy skies, another incoming disturbance will spark some showers and storms late. New data as of Sunday evening would suggest that these storms may hold together to a greater degree, possibly impacting the morning drive. Be sure to 2une-In with Meteorologist Emma Kate Cowan on 2une-In beginning at 5 a.m. as the storms would be approaching the area around that time if they hold together.

Early morning showers that do arise should be gone by mid-to-late morning. A midday lull in storms will allow the atmosphere time to recharge. Emerging sunshine will help push highs to near 91°. The number of afternoon storms will depend on what happens in the morning. A stormier start would mean less time to regain necessary storm fuel, resulting in fewer afternoon storms — and vice versa for a drier morning. Regardless, there should be enough to at least pop off a few afternoon storms. For areas that do experience them, a handful could be strong (especially north of I-12). Gusty winds in the 40-60+ mph range and hail would be the primary concerns.

Up Next: There will be another good shot at seeing rain on Tuesday. Ample moisture and yet another passing disturbance will spark numerous showers and thunderstorms. For that matter, moisture will hang around through the rest of the workweek. Though washouts are unlikely from midweek onward, scattered afternoon storms will remain a daily possibility. That rain would provide some welcome heat relief. Even on the wetter days, expect the all-too-familiar heat and humidity to stick around. This all remains true over Father’s Day Weekend as well, although the number of storms over the weekend might come down somewhat.

The Tropics: For the Gulf, Caribbean, and Atlantic, all is quiet. No tropical development is expected over the next seven days.
