Good morning! No surprises today. High 88 to 90 with a sun and cloud mix. Pretty routine for June. Random Showers and storms will be most numerous in the afternoon and evening hours today. But, radar is about to become very busy over the next several days.

There will be numerous showers and storms, just about anytime, but especially in the afternoon and evening hours. There will be tropical downpours with locally heavy rainfall amounts. Some storms could be strong. Be flexible with your weekend plans here and across the Gulf coast beaches. Here’s my brief video forecast discussion.
