We have all of this heat in place because of big area high pressure on top of Florida. This is sinking air that will not allow as much rain as we are used to seeing this time of year.

Expect a 40% coverage of showers after 2 p.m.

The actual high temperature will be near 97 in Orlando for the next few days.

The tropics remain quiet.
