ORLANDO, Fla. — A stout ridge of high pressure over the Florida Straits continues to provide us a west-southwest flow, and some very hot air.

A thin layer of clouds helped keep temps a bit more in check than models were indicating earlier, but we still managed up area wide low 90s for highs.

Although a stray shower may develop along boundary collisions, most of us will remain rain free. Patchy areas of fog are possible late, and we’ll wake up Sunday to hazy sunshine.

A trough of low pressure to our north may help to weaken the high a bit tomorrow afternoon and allow the east coast sea breeze to move inland, but it'll hold strong enough to pump highs into the low to mid-90s once again.

Enough moisture will be around for a 20 percent storm chance in the afternoon. 

We'll keep the mid-90s Monday and bump rain coverage to 30 percent.

Higher rain chances return by mid-week.

Beach and Surf Conditions

Surf conditions will be very poor in the morning this weekend and then flat in afternoon. Wave heights will be 1 to 2 feet at their peak in the morning then flatten during the afternoon.

The rip risk is low, but it is always best to swim near a lifeguard. Ocean temperatures are in the middle to upper 70s.

Be sure to apply and reapply the sunscreen, the ultraviolet index is very high and at a ten.

If you are boating, there is a slight chance for an isolated shower or thunderstorm. The winds will be out of the west at 5 to 10 knots. Seas will be 1 to 2 feet with a light chop on the intracoastal.

Tropical Update

June is not a typically active month in the tropics. However, in the tropics, there are no systems to monitor at this time.

Development is not expected for the next five days.

Hurricane season runs through Nov. 30.
