First Alert Weather: Inland afternoon storms begin to increase

• High risk of rip currents at local beaches today.
• This morning is muggy with temperatures in the 70s.
• The morning commute will be dry.
• Highs will climb to the lower 90s with feels like temperatures in the upper 90s to near 100 degrees.
• Scattered inland afternoon showers/storms will develop on the sea breeze near or just west of the I-95 corridor between 2 and 4 pm.
• The sea breeze will continue slowly moving inland to the Highway 301 corridor where it will likely merge with the west coast sea breeze.
• This merger will create new showers and storms late in the afternoon.
• Showers and storms late in the day will have the potential to move back northeast and get a few showers to the coast this evening.
