Persistence is the word when looking at Tuesday’s forecast: Warm, humid, with scattered thunderstorms firing along the seabreeze, primarily in the afternoon. (There is a chance a shower or two could scrape the coast in the morning, too.) Temperatures should generally top out in the upper 80s with heat indices in the low 100s thanks to plenty of late-August humidity.

Expect this pattern to stay with us for the rest of the week, with a little more coverage on Wednesday thanks to an upper-level tropical low (a Tropical Upper Tropospheric Trough, to be precise) helping to send a little more moisture and forcing our way. After that passes, coverage will ratchet back a few clicks as high pressure stays in control.
