For the first half of the week, scattered rain and a few embedded thunderstorms are likely due to the sea breezes. Not a complete washout, but some areas could see heavy rain at times. Daily high temperatures stay in the upper 80s Monday and Tuesday.

An area of high pressure develops near Central Florida, keeping things quiet through the rest of the week. But, afternoon highs are back above average in the lower-to-middle 90s beginning on Wednesday.
