Embedded locally strong to severe thunderstorms may be possible during those peak heating hours of the day, bringing frequent lightning, gusty winds and heavy downpours.
A Marginal Risk (level 1 of 4) for Flash Flooding continues across the Florida Peninsula as instances of flash flooding and ponding of water will be possible within heavier downpours over already saturated grounds.
More isolated shower and thunderstorm activity along the western Florida Panhandle today (20-40% chance of rain).
Warm and muggy conditions can be expected, with feels-like temperatures reaching the upper 90s to lower 100s (98-103-degrees) along the Florida Panhandle and South Florida.
Lingering showers and thunderstorms will be possible across the Florida Peninsula throughout the overnight hours (45-65% chance of rain).
Areas of patchy fog and/or low clouds cannot be ruled out tonight over the low-lying areas of the Suwannee River Valley.
A moderate risk of rip currents continues for most Florida Panhandle, East Coast, and Southwest Florida beaches today.
As of 8:00 AM EDT, Tropical Depression Three has strengthened into Tropical Storm Chantal. Maximum sustained winds have reached 40 mph, and Chantal is expected to move inland along the South Carolina Coast Sunday morning.
