The chance of rain remains high due to plenty of moisture keeping the atmosphere juicy and unstable. Scattered showers and storms will be moving in with the potential for heavy downpours, lightning and gusty winds at times.
Afternoon highs will be in the mid to upper 80s.

Tracking the Tropics
The CBS Miami NEXT Weather team is tracking a broad area of low pressure that continues to move westward across the Florida Panhandle. It is forecast to continue moving westward and could emerge, or redevelop, over the far northeastern to north-central portion of the Gulf, reaching the coast of Louisiana by Thursday.
The National Hurricane Center is giving this system a 40% (medium potential) chance) of development over the next two to seven days.
In its Tropical Weather Outlook, the National Hurricane Center said “if this system moves far enough offshore, environmental conditions over the Gulf appear generally favorable for additional development, and a tropical depression could still form over the next couple of days before the system moves fully inland by the end of the week.”
