Slow-moving and scattered storms will continue into the afternoon, leading to the continued chance for localized flooding. A stalled front keeps the chance for scattered, slow-moving storms in the forecast Tuesday. Drier air settles in then by Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the Big Bend of Florida will be getting hit with (what will be) Hurricane Idalia. The storm track mostly takes it south of our area, because of our stalled front.
A jog north would bring us more rain, but the more significant impacts from the storm will likely be closer to the East Coast.
Once the storm moves offshore, drier air will settle in. This will make Thursday and Friday feel really pleasant - the pick days of the week!
We’ll turn hotter for the upcoming weekend.
