We are starting out mild and muggy with temperatures in the 70’s. Highs this afternoon will reach the lower 90’s north of I-10 and upper 80’s to near 90 degrees at the beaches. Heat index will top our near 100 degrees. A few showers and storms are possible near the coast this morning, bringing the chance of rain, thunder, lightning and some waterspouts. These will drift inland along the sea breeze this afternoon. Through the rest of the week, rain chances increase Wednesday into Thursday as more moisture moves into our area. These rain chances go back down to typical summertime as we approach the weekend. Highs will stay in the low-to-mid 90’s. In the tropics, we are tracking two areas. The first is Invest AL 97 off the coast of Louisiana. It could develop into a short lived tropical depression or storm today or tonight before it reaches the TX/LA coast. This is heading away from our area and is not a threat. The second area is the remnants of what was Tropical Storm Dolly. It is currently just a trough of low pressure. It will continue to endure a lot of wind shear over the Greater Antilles over the next few days; however, if it can hold together, as it approaches the Bahamas, conditions become a bit more favorable for development. NHC is giving this a low chance over the next 7 days.
