Welcome to July! Your holiday plans could be interrupted from time to time, in the week ahead. We live in the tropics this time of year. A series of “easterly” disturbances will cross the area over the next few days, traveling from east to west. The days with best odds of getting wet are today, tomorrow and Wednesday. The day with the smallest rain threat appears to be Tuesday. High humidity will continue, with no relief in sight.

Locally heavy downpours. Temperatures will be held down by clouds and showers. High today upper 80s to near 90. Low tonight in the mid 70’s.

NEXT FEW DAYS: Better than normal rain chance continues next several days, through the holiday and beyond. The days with the best rain chances are today, tomorrow and Wednesday. The high humidity will continue with no end in sight.
