WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — We will have a similar setup to Saturday. A high pressure system will keep skies generally sunny. It will be another hot and humid day with highs in the upper 80s to near 90 with heat indices near the triple digits. The upper level ridging will keep us hot, hazy, and humid. This also contributes to our storm chances with the convective energy. The sea breeze from both coasts will set up further inland today. Look for our first storm along the sea breeze near 2 PM.

I’m so lucky my first story included one of my favorite sports 🚴 Good luck to Chuck and the rest of the team who start their charity ride Sunday morning!
The Shenandoah Valley is in desperate need of rainfall, whereas in #757 we are seeing some dry spots. Good news for all, we are tracking Friday rain. A cold front will bring rain to the western portion of the state and a coastal low will bring rain to the coastline of VA and NC. https://t.co/G4MHDehslv
