Discussion
A low-level flow of air from off the ocean today will keep plenty of clouds in the area and cut temperatures down to the lower 80's for afternoon highs. The remainder of the week looks quite warm and continued humid and there will be a shot at additional showers and thunderstorms. There will be a couple of frontal systems to deal with after today, but the main player will be strong high pressure over the western Atlantic which will pump in very warm and humid air to the region on a continuous basis.
