Above-average Wednesday heat ahead of rain chances after dark

High temperatures will return to the 80s, reaching warmer levels than we experienced on Tuesday. Humidity will also become noticeably higher thanks to our strong southerly winds. Boaters will experience a moderate chop in our bays and one to three-foot Gulf wave heights.

Isolated rain chances are in Wednesday’s forecast. These will not begin until late at night. Areas to the north and west will experience these showers first, with communities to the south seeing them next. Severe weather is unlikely. High temperatures will drop substantially as we enter the weekend.
