The good news today is that the chance for any isolated damaging thunderstorms has significantly lowered. The bad news today is that it is still going to be a day with more clouds than sun and scattered rain showers at any point. It is still a day that features a lot of dry time, too. While a brief downpour cannot be ruled out, most of any scattered showers will be light to moderate.

You can still squeeze in some beach or pool time but just expect a couple of showers through the day. It will also not be as hot as the past few days. High temperatures today will only reach the upper-70s to low-80s, but it is still quite humid.

Tomorrow there is a better chance for an afternoon or evening downpour with a rumble of thunder, but the severe weather chances are low and any pop-up rain tomorrow will also be isolated. Otherwise, a decent summer day with a mix of sun and clouds and highs back in the mid-80s.

THE WEEKEND: Outdoor plans are a go, but...each day will feature an afternoon or evening isolated shower or thunderstorm chance. Severe weather is not expected at this time and most of each day will be dry. On top of that, temperatures warm back into the mid- and upper-80s.
