June 9: Thunderstorm chances increase later this week

Just like yesterday, only a couple of showers are possible in our area today. Most of the thunderstorms that develop this afternoon will be too far to the west in the Everglades and will push away from our area. Without much rain to cool us down, we will reach around 90° today. Factor in the high humidity and it will feel like 100°. That will be the peak heat index from the Keys all the way up to Broward County.

The chance of rain will steadily increase through the week as thunderstorms develop closer to the coastline, especially Friday into the weekend. So far it looks like typical rainy season thunderstorms so rainfall totals don’t look extreme and it doesn’t look like a washout.
