Did you enjoy the respite from the rain forest-like conditions over the weekend?
It's over.
After a cold front, uncommon for Florida in August, eased through the area end of last week, getting rid of the humidity that made being outside like experiencing "air your can wear" for the last two weeks, with heat indexes approaching 110 degrees that sparked National Weather Service heat warnings.
After drying out the last three days — Did you get your lawn mowed while the grass was dry? — the typical summertime pattern is coming back.
Expect high temperatures back in the mid-90s, around 95 or so, through the mid-part of the week. While the humidity will be back, the afternoon storms should also return, with a 50 to 60 percent chance of rain Monday and Tuesday and a 70 percent chance, per the National Weather Service in Melbourne. The storms on Monday and Tuesday should generally move from west to east.
The silver lining? October will be hear soon to bring some cooler relief.
And ... AND ... aside from Hurricane Ernesto continuing to rumble through the north Atlantic toward the United Kingdom, the National Hurricane Center does not expect any new tropical cyclone development for the next seven days.
