A Heat Advisory will be in effect from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

A few later afternoon and evening showers and storms are likely today with pockets of heavy rain, but many neighborhoods won’t see rain. Storm locations will be mainly well inland.

We stay hot and humid through Saturday with at least a few daily showers and storms.

All eyes turn to the tropical disturbance and where it may form over the weekend and next week.

The disturbance is near Puerto Rico and remains weak and disorganized this morning. There is an increasing potential for long-term tropical development as it moves near Florida in the Gulf of Mexico or Southwest Atlantic this weekend.

The exact track is far from certain since a storm hasn’t formed yet. We could see some rainfall if the disturbance moves into the Gulf of Mexico versus the Atlantic.
