  • This morning is dry with temperatures in the 70s.
  • Today will be hot, especially for mid-September standards. Highs will range 90-95 degrees with feels like temperatures 100-105.
  • More afternoon storms are expected, moving from west to east. They will push offshore by sunset.
  • Storms today will be capable of brief torrential rain, frequent lightning strikes, and gusty winds.
  • Sunday will be similarly hot with a few more late afternoon storms, but the coverage should not be as high as today.
  • The Jags game will be HOT and we’ll be watching for storms nearby during the second half of the game.
  • Onshore winds return next week with “cooler” afternoons, gusty winds at the coast, and a few occasional showers.
