High pressure over the area today will give us one more comfortably warm day, however we will see an increase in cloudiness as a warm front to our south slowly approaches our area.

Tomorrow will be a cloudy day as the warm front passes through the area at night, we should have some scattered showers and thunderstorms.  Temperatures with the clouds and an onshore wind will be slightly lower than today.

Warm and humid with a chance of showers and thunderstorms Wednesday through the end of the week as the Bermuda high strengthens off the coast and cold front to our west which will cause a south to southwest flow of tropical air.   The best chance of showers will be in the afternoons each day.
