High pressure in control over Florida stretching into the Western Atlantic Ocean will keep a light beach breeze in place. Therefore, typical Summer weather expected. This means morning sunshine with a spotty shower and afternoon heat with the sea breeze developing inland showers and storms. By Wednesday, winds veer out of the West-Southwest as remnants of Ida move through the Tennessee Valley drawing up drier air and Saharan Dust from the Gulf of Mexico. It will be brief because as the dry air exits, wetter conditions expected for Thursday and into the upcoming weekend. Storms that develop inland will push towards the East Coast.
