Otherwise, temperatures are near 90 and will slowly drop through the 80s this evening.

Changes are ahead this week as scattered showers and thunderstorms Tuesday will develop midday through the afternoon as winds increase off the Atlantic.

This will start a bit of a cooling trend – though still very humid – with highs mostly in the 80s for the rest of the week.
