WEATHERCAST:

The tropical conveyor belt will continue to deliver more of what we had last week: humidity…showers and thunderstorms. There will be times when this activity will be more widespread…otherwise pretend you are back in Miami Beach. Daytime highs will be in the sticky low to mid 80s…. nights not getting below 70. Hard to say when this pattern will break down completely…but right now odds do favor that it will move into the weekend in a weakened form. Enjoy the dog days…. they don’t last forever.
