The drier and more comfortable air has been replaced by familiar humidity. A weak front will drift into the area and act as a culprit for some showers and thunderstorms through the rest of the week.

Tonight & Tomorrow: Any remaining showers or cloud cover will diminish by midnight. Low temperatures will bottom out in the low 70s—feeling a bit more muggy compared to previous nights. A weak disturbance in the atmosphere and its associated front will move into the area on Tuesday. After a partly sunny beginning to the day, this system will stir up isolated showers and thunderstorms, especially during the afternoon hours. High temperatures will make it into the low to mid 90s ahead of any precipitation.       

Up Next: Through the end of the workweek, a decaying front will meander near the Gulf Coast. Though no single day looks particularly busy, the front warrants mention of a spotty, afternoon shower or thunderstorm. Coastal areas stand the best chance to see some rain. Otherwise, expect partly sunny skies with highs in the low 90s and lows in the low 70s. Another front will push in for the weekend and should bring a better shot at showers and thunderstorms on Saturday. Dry air tailing this front will bring another pop of lower humidity! In fact, there is a chance we could register our first high temperature in the 80s since May 27.

A broad area of low pressure over the eastern tropical Atlantic continues to produce disorganized showers and thunderstorms. This system is expected to consolidate, with a low on the western side becoming dominant over the next day or two. Gradual development of the low is expected after that, and there is an eighty percent chance that a tropical depression is likely to form by this weekend while the system moves west-northwestward or northwestward at about 15 mph across the central tropical Atlantic.
