On top of the amplified rain chance, it will be hot and muggy, with highs in the upper 80s and low 90s.

This pattern will stick around throughout our Father’s Day weekend.

We are still monitoring a tropical wave moving over the Atlantic.

This wave has a high chance (70%) of developing into a tropical depression once it’s over the Central Atlantic.

Models still indicate that this wave wouldn’t be a concern for us, regardless of development.
